lpv:translated text	"I welcomed this document because the value of global exports has continued to grow despite the economic and financial crisis, and EU Member States consistently account for approximately 30% of all exports and are among the world’s leading arms producers and exporters. Therefore, the EU has both a responsibility and an interest in developing and contributing to a regulated, more transparent and controlled arms trade at global level. Unfortunately, we have to recognise the contribution that the arms industry makes to job creation and economic growth, but I believe that 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 and socio-economic development and leads to the overthrow of democratically elected governments and the violation of the rule of law. The July 2012 negotiation of a legally binding international Arms Trade Treaty must mark an historic step forward and, by establishing the highest international standards and criteria for assessing the transfer, import and export of conventional arms, ensure greater transparency and accountability. I agree that the urgent adoption and entry into force of a global and comprehensive UN Arms Trade Treaty is necessary. Transparency and accountability are the key to a robust treaty of this nature."@en1
