lpv:translated text	"Unfortunately, there are still a number of outbreaks of violence fuelled by arms supplied most often through illegal trade. There is an international legal framework, verification mechanisms, not to mention loopholes to get round them and a great deal of hypocrisy regarding the criteria for transferring arms to sensitive areas. In most cases, profit motives take precedence over the tragedies being fuelled by the arms trade. This is why I believe that redefining these criteria would be a welcome step in order to include aspects such as good governance, rigorous respect for human rights and tackling the corruption that goes hand in hand with the arms trade. The EU must play a more important role in this control mechanism, in defining the criteria, and in the negotiations on getting all the signatories to the Arms Trade Treaty to accept them. If this arms trade cannot be eliminated from people’s everyday lives, we need to ensure that such weapons are only used in self-defence and according to strict rules."@en1
