"In the context of defending the right to life and promoting peace, the struggle to eradicate mines and anti-personnel explosives should be a priority for EU foreign policy. In spite of much positive progress, we all recognise that there is still much work to be done. This is a problem which affects victims mainly in countries with a great deal of social and economic tension. Because of the specific nature of these kinds of widespread weapons, and because the techniques and the technologies for detecting explosives have not advanced significantly, financial support for this cause must continue. Efforts to use the available resources to combat mines more efficiently must also continue, principally regarding the recognition, detection, marking and removal of anti-personnel landmines and other explosive remnants of war, such as abandoned ordnance, unexploded ordnance, cluster munition remnants and improvised explosive devices. I also support this report in its call for all countries to sign and comply with the Ottawa Convention on the Prohibition of the Use, Stockpiling, Production and Transfer of Anti-Personnel Mines and on their Destruction."@en1
