"It is extremely important for Article 10 of the UN Firearms Protocol (UNFP) to be implemented in all the Member States with a view to harmonising procedures and finally creating a common system to regulate trade in firearms. To date, the UNFP has been ratified by 83 countries, including 13 EU Member States. However, there are still five EU Member States which have neither signed nor ratified it. The proposed regulation introduces an ‘export procedure’ to be applied by Member States to exports to third countries. The adoption of the regulation under the ordinary legislative procedure would enable Article 10 of the UNFP to be applied in all Member States, which would finally establish a uniform system for trade in firearms and their parts, components and ammunition within the European Union. In addition to the general aim of harmonising and simplifying the procedures followed, the regulation is also intended to help combat illegal trafficking in firearms by encouraging and strengthening cooperation between states, an objective which has assumed increasing importance since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009."@en1
