"On 1 August 2010, the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM) came into effect which imposed a number of obligations on the European Union. The CCM bans the use, manufacture, storage and transportation of cluster munitions as an entire category of weapons and requires signatory states to destroy their stockpiles of cluster munitions. The Treaty has resulted in significant and fundamental changes compared with previous times, when cluster munitions were considered necessary to guarantee military security. 22 Member States signed and 15 ratified the CCM. However, five Member States have failed to do either. In my view, Member States should make efforts to comply with the convention and to eliminate their stockpiles of cluster munitions, provide victims with the necessary assistance and to help other states to implement the CCM in various ways. Last but not least, I believe that one of the great positive aspects of the Convention on Cluster Munitions is that no Member State may use, develop, manufacture and acquire, stockpile, store or trans-ship cluster munitions anywhere and under any circumstances."@en1
