"I voted for this regulation, which implements within the European Union a United Nations Protocol aimed at limiting and monitoring more effectively the illicit manufacturing, sale and use of firearms, however small they are. This is a small step forward in the fight against the proliferation of firearms. The European Union has a duty to apply the international texts that aim to prevent conflicts and that call into question the right to kill as a way for human beings to behave. How can we forget that weapons were sold (and are still being sold) by France, the United Kingdom and others to regimes like Gaddafi’s, in order for them to crush their people? We need to aim instead at banning the export and even the large-scale production of weapons. A regulation that tackles firearms always deserves to be supported, even if its scope is very limited. That is the reasoning behind my vote today."@en1
