"Uncontrolled and unregulated arms trading poses a serious threat to local, national, regional and international peace, security and stability, as well as to democracy, the rule of law and sustainable social and economic development. Unregulated arms trading is a contributory factor in armed conflict, the displacement of people, organised crime and terrorism. It is clear that the arms industry contributes to job creation and economic growth; on the other hand, however, the poorly regulated, uncontrolled and opaque arms trade leads to irresponsible trading in weapons, causes unnecessary human suffering, fuels armed conflict, instability, terrorist attacks and corruption, undermines peace building processes, good governance and socio-economic development, and leads to the overthrow of democratically elected governments and the violation of the rule of law, human rights and international humanitarian law. Moreover, in the field of arms transfers, there are no binding commitments that would unequivocally safeguard such rights. Taking these facts into consideration, I firmly believe that it is important that the Arms Trade Treaty be implemented effectively and credibly. It is important that the Member States, in line with their Treaty of Lisbon commitment, uphold the EU’s positions set out in reply to the UN Secretary-General at the conference in order to ensure a successful outcome from the conference resulting in an Arms Trade Treaty based on solid foundations."@en1
