"I voted for this report because I welcome the fact that it makes appropriate simplifications to the procedures for granting firearms export licences, thereby ensuring an increased level of security, in keeping with the provisions of the relevant UN Protocol.
Every year, there are more than 700 000 victims of armed violence, two thirds of whom fall victim outside any conflict situation. A huge proportion of the weapons used to commit these violent acts have been acquired or shipped illegally. In this situation, a sound, effective control system for firearms exports, based on clear procedures for granting licences, is of paramount importance in preventing illegal shipments.
Romania is one of the countries which have ratified the UN Firearms Protocol, thereby highlighting its strong commitment to international non-proliferation and control instruments. I appreciate that ratification of this Protocol by all Member States is important in terms of ensuring a uniform EU-level approach in this important area. Adopting the measures for implementing Article 10 marks a first step in this direction."@en1
