"Mr President, the opinion on the Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on simplifying the terms and conditions of transfers of defence-related products within the Community is certainly a necessary document. I should like to thank Mrs Rühle for all her hard work in developing it.
The Directive simplifies the activity of the common market. It also enhances its competitiveness whilst not limiting provisions derived from the specific circumstances of a particular country. It protects the international commitments of the European Union and its Member States concerning trade in defence-related products. The provisions adopted may hinder the activities of SMEs due to the formal requirements involved. This should therefore be borne in mind when reviewing implementation of the Directive. In view of the significant technical advances made and the acceptance of new commitments, for example in the area of anti-personnel mines and cluster munitions, the Common Military List of the European Union should be constantly updated.
The amendments tabled are sound. Repetition should be avoided.
We support this Directive."@en1
