lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this document because cluster munitions pose serious risks to civilians owing to their typically large lethal footprint, and in post-conflict settings, the use of these munitions has caused many tragic injuries and deaths among civilians as unexploded submunitions left behind are often found by children and other unsuspecting innocent parties. The support of EU Member States relating to parliamentary initiatives and the work of civil society organisations have been decisive in the successful conclusion of the Oslo Process resulting in the entry into force of the Convention on Cluster Munitions (CCM). The CCM prohibits States Parties from using, developing, producing, otherwise acquiring, stockpiling, retaining or transferring cluster munitions to anyone, directly or indirectly, and from helping, encouraging or inducing anyone to engage in any activity prohibited under the convention. The CCM establishes a new humanitarian standard for the assistance of victims, who include those persons directly affected by cluster munitions and their families and communities. This document therefore calls on the EU Member States and candidate countries which are not States Parties to the CCM to accede to it and calls on the states which are signatories to the CCM to ratify it as soon as possible."@en1
