"The Stockholm Programme regards arms trafficking as a threat to the European Union’s internal security. In addition to the general aim of harmonising and simplifying the procedures followed, the regulation is, of course, 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.
We believe that export authorisation should be granted only after import authorisation has been obtained from the third country and a notice of no-objection to transit has been issued by the country of transit. The regulation introduces a novel procedure – based on the principle of tacit consent – to be used in the event of the transit country failing to register objections within a specified period. We consider it essential to introduce certain simplified procedures for some types of export and some categories of users. Member States will have to undertake to give the competent authorities appropriate powers and lay down rules on the penalties applicable to infringements of the provisions of this regulation. Lastly, we would stress how important it is for Article 10 of the UNFP to be implemented in all the Member States with a view to harmonising procedures and finally creating a common system to regulate the trade in firearms."@en1
