"Alongside my fellow Labour MEPs, I voted in favour of the report. The current climate in the Middle East, on the EU’s doorstep in Ukraine, and indeed across the world has given rise to concerns about the availability of arms. This report promotes public transparency in Member States’ arms exports. It asks for a legally binding EU export-control instrument and for a harmonised EU arms control policy that would reinforce other dimensions of the EU’s external action.
We have seen European arms in the hands of repressive regimes, terrorists and criminals, fuelling conflict in many countries. If we are concerned about security, human rights and international peace we cannot afford to be soft on arms exports. A well-regulated EU arms export policy has never been more important."@en1
