"I voted in favour of the resolution against the trade in goods used for torture. Indeed, while we can welcome the existence, since 2005, of a European regulation on the international trade in certain goods which could be used for capital punishment, torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, it is now clear that large gaps exist in terms of both its scope and its implementation: firstly, many Member States have not communicated, or even introduced, penalties for violating this regulation, and do not produce any annual activity reports, even though this is a requirement; secondly, it is time to address the lack of monitoring of the export criteria for the items concerned and to boldly tackle the issue of items currently exempt from the requirement to obtain authorisations for transiting through the European Union; finally, the list of prohibited items should be extended (currently, it does not cover certain items of ‘police and security’ equipment such as spiked batons, wall and floor restraints, leg restraints, wrist and finger cuffs, or certain body-worn electric-shock stun devices)."@en1
