"The report in question is particularly important because it concerns the adoption of the regulation implementing Article 10 of the United Nations Firearms Protocol which establishes a uniform system for trade in firearms, their parts and components and ammunition within the EU Member States. I would like to remind you that Europe has a long, well-established tradition in the field of sport shooting, where over 10 million citizens, in full compliance with the legal provisions in force, make a significant contribution to the economic wealth of the EU. The result we have achieved today, thanks, in particular, to the active participation of all stakeholders in the consultation process, in particular, small and medium-sized enterprises, entailed a long, painstaking process aimed at satisfying the provisions of the UN Protocol and making them compatible with the current situation in Europe, where 27 Member States have very different national laws in this area. I am therefore very pleased at the adoption of this new instrument which, in my opinion, marries two key requirements: helping to combat illegal trafficking in firearms by encouraging and strengthening cooperation between States, and harmonising and simplifying procedures for stakeholders in the sector, such as hunters and sport shooters."@en1
