"I am pleased that the issue of the negotiations on the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty (ATT) has finally been put on the work agenda of our European Parliament, particularly thanks to pressure from the Group of the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats for Europe, to which I belong. By this, we hope that our Parliament is able to voice its opinion on this matter and that the European institutions adopt a strong common position to find a solution to the problems of arms transfers. Indeed, for the international community to sign a treaty of this nature sends a strong signal, insofar as it will establish common binding standards for the import, export and transfer of arms. This trade must urgently be regulated in view of the arms transfers that fuel conflicts, poverty and violations of the rights of individuals. We are calling for clear, binding provisions, which meet the highest international standards in accordance with international humanitarian law. This problem must urgently be tackled head on if we are to ensure lasting security and stability in the world."@en1
