"Mr President, I am naturally aware that there can be no such thing as a humane war or humane weapons. A minimum of decency and humanity must prevail, however, and cluster munitions are an excellent example of this. Cluster munitions will never decide the outcome of a war. They are often used to target civilians and cause a huge amount of damage and injury, particularly to children.
However, this is a way of making money, legal custom is established, and sometimes the opinion also prevails that what is alright for one person is also alright for another. For this reason, I am very pleased with this motion for a resolution and would urge all Member States of the European Union to sign and support this convention. After all, I can see no reasonable grounds for not doing so. In the final analysis, what we need is a ban that is signed up to by the Member States of the European Union and by the world at large."@en1
