"I voted in favour of this resolution. The proposed regulation will fill the gap giving the EU exclusive competence in the area of the common commercial policy, harmonising and simplifying the procedures in all EU Member States for trade in arms with third countries. As 10 years have passed since the adoption of the United Nations Firearms Protocol (UNFP) at the United Nations General Assembly, the application of its provisions in the Member States is very uneven (the Protocol has been ratified by 13 EU Member States and signed by nine, while five have not adopted it, among them, major arms exporters), and this transposition of Article 10 UNFP into EU law will help establish a uniform EU system for trade with third countries in small firearms. The aim of the regulation is not to place an additional financial burden on companies (it provides for appropriate simplification of procedures), but to promote cross-border cooperation and strengthen the fight against illicit trafficking in firearms. I also welcome the rapporteur’s initiative of including a reference to Article 2(2) of the Council Framework Decision on the European arrest warrant and the surrender procedures between Member States."@en1
