lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, with 80 million new guns manufactured each year, and one person killed by a gun every minute, the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons fuels conflict, crime and terrorism across the globe. Five years after the UN programme of action was agreed, the forthcoming review conference must not just review: it must act. It should recognise key gaps, such as the transfer of small arms to non-state actors and, ultimately, ways of reducing the demand for small arms. It should address controls for licensed production deals, like that adopted for Austrian Steyr rifles in Malaysia. As Mr Winkler says, Europe can offer leadership in this debate, demonstrating the effectiveness of our code of conduct on arms sales. I hope the Council will offer new commitments to extend financial support to projects aimed at limiting small arms proliferation and their use – currently just EUR 2 million in the CFSP budget – and by building on the proposals for an EU strategy for security sector reform, started under last year’s UK Presidency of the EU and, indeed, at the Austrian Presidency conference on the western Balkans. Last year European Member States, as part of the UN, agreed a tracing instrument for small arms that was neither comprehensive – covering guns, not bullets – nor legally binding. This year EU representatives must show that we have the political will to go further to promote the proposal already endorsed by the Council and Parliament for a legally binding international arms trade treaty, and to ensure, both at the review conference this July and at the UN First Committee in October, a resolution to set up a working group to begin to make it happen."@en⁴

Der produceres 80 millioner våben hvert år, og hvert minut dræbes én person med et våben. Den ulovlige handel med håndvåben og lette våben giver således næring til konflikt, kriminalitet og terrorisme i hele verden. Da der nu er gået fem år, siden staterne nåede til enighed om FN's handlingsprogram, skal formålet med den kommende konference ikke blot være revision. Det er nødvendigt at handle. Staterne bør anerkende centrale problemer såsom overførslen af håndvåben til ikke-statslige aktører og fastlægge metoder til at reducere efterspørgslen efter håndvåben. Staterne bør drøfte spørgsmålet om metoder til kontrol af godkendte produktionsaftaler, som den der blev anvendt i forbindelse med østrigske Steyr rifler i Malaysia. Som hr. Winkler anfører, kan EU føre an i denne debat og påvise, at vores adfærdskodeks for våbensalg fungerer effektivt. Jeg håber, at Rådet indgår nye forpligtelser og øger den finansielle støtte til projekter, der har til formål at begrænse udbredelsen og anvendelsen af håndvåben - der er i øjeblikket kun afsat 2 mio. euro i FUSP-budgettet - og bygger videre på forslagene til en EU-strategi med sigte på reform af sikkerhedssektoren, der blev udarbejdet under det britiske EU-formandskab sidste år og ikke mindst under den østrigske formandskonference på det vestlige Balkan. EU-medlemsstaterne blev sidste år i FN-regi enige om et instrument til regulering af sporing af håndvåben, der hverken var omfattende - det omfattede våben, ikke kugler - eller juridisk bindende. I år må EU-repræsentanterne vise, at vi har politisk vilje til at gå videre og støtte det forslag, der allerede er blevet godkendt af Rådet og Parlamentet, om en juridisk bindende international våbenhandelstraktat og til at sikre, at der vedtages en resolution vedrørende nedsættelse af den arbejdsgruppe, der skal realisere projektet, både under revisionskonferencen i juli og under De Forenede Nationers Generalforsamlings første udvalg i oktober."@da² "Herr Präsident! Alljährlich werden 80 Millionen neue Schusswaffen hergestellt, und jede Minute wird ein Mensch mit einer solchen Waffe getötet. Der illegale Handel mit Klein- und Leichtwaffen trägt damit weltweit zu Konflikten, Verbrechen und Terrorismus bei. Fünf Jahre nach Annahme des UN-Aktionsprogramms kann es auf der anstehenden Überprüfungskonferenz nicht nur um eine Überprüfung gehen, vielmehr sind Taten gefragt. Man muss grundlegende Probleme, wie beispielsweise die Verbringung von Kleinwaffen an nichtstaatliche Akteure, sowie letztendlich Möglichkeiten einer Reduzierung der Nachfrage nach Kleinwaffen aufzeigen. Die Teilnehmer sollten sich mit der Kontrolle von Lizenzfertigungsverträgen wie dem Vertrag über die Herstellung österreichischer Steyr-Gewehre in Malaysia befassen. Wie Herr Winkler gesagt hat, kann Europa in dieser Frage eine Führungsrolle übernehmen und unter Beweis stellen, wie wirksam unser Verhaltenskodex für Waffenverkäufe ist. Ich hoffe, der Rat wird neue Zusagen machen, um die finanzielle Unterstützung auf Projekte auszuweiten, mit denen die Verbreitung und Verwendung von Kleinwaffen verhindert werden soll – derzeit belaufen sich die Mittel lediglich auf 2 Millionen Euro im GASP-Haushalt –, und sich dabei auf die Vorschläge für eine Gemeinschaftsstrategie zur Reform des Sicherheitssektors stützen, die im vergangenen Jahr im Verlauf der britischen Ratspräsidentschaft sowie natürlich auf der vom österreichischen Ratsvorsitz organisierten Konferenz zum westlichen Balkan in Angriff genommen wurde. Im vergangenen Jahr haben sich die EU-Mitgliedstaaten im Rahmen der UN auf ein Zurückverfolgungsinstrument für Kleinwaffen geeinigt, das weder allgemeingültig – es bezieht sich auf Schusswaffen, nicht auf Munition – noch rechtsverbindlich war. In diesem Jahr müssen die Vertreter der EU zeigen, dass wir den politischen Willen haben, den bereits von Rat und Parlament gebilligten Vorschlag für einen rechtsverbindlichen internationalen Vertrag über den Waffenhandel voranzubringen, damit sowohl auf der Überprüfungskonferenz im Juli als auch auf dem UN-Hauptausschuss im Oktober eine Resolution über die Einrichtung einer Arbeitsgruppe verabschiedet wird, die sich mit der Umsetzung befassen wird."@de⁹ "Κύριε Πρόεδρε, με 80 εκατομμύρια νέα όπλα να κατασκευάζονται κάθε χρόνο και με ένα άτομο να σκοτώνεται από όπλο κάθε λεπτό, το παράνομο εμπόριο μικρών και ελαφρών όπλων πυροδοτεί τη σύγκρουση, το έγκλημα και την τρομοκρατία σε όλη την υδρόγειο. Πέντε χρόνια μετά τη συμφωνία για το πρόγραμμα δράσης των ΗΕ, η προσεχής αναθεωρητική διάσκεψη δεν πρέπει απλά να αναθεωρήσει: πρέπει να δράσει. Θα πρέπει να αναγνωρίσει τα βασικά κενά, όπως η μεταφορά μικρών όπλων σε μη κρατικούς παράγοντες και, τελικά, τρόπους μείωσης της ζήτησης για μικρά όπλα. Θα πρέπει να εξετάσει του ελέγχους για αδειοδοτούμενες συμφωνίες παραγωγής, όπως η συμφωνία που εγκρίθηκε για τα αυστριακά τουφέκια Steyr στη Μαλαισία. Όπως λέει ο κ. Winkler, η Ευρώπη μπορεί να διαδραματίσει ηγετικό ρόλο σε αυτήν τη συζήτηση, επιδεικνύοντας την αποτελεσματικότητα του κώδικα συμπεριφοράς μας όσον αφορά τις πωλήσεις όπλων. Ελπίζω ότι το Συμβούλιο θα αναλάβει νέες δεσμεύσεις για την επέκταση της οικονομικής βοήθειας σε σχέδια με στόχο τον περιορισμό της διάδοσης και της χρήσης των μικρών όπλων –επί του παρόντος, μόλις 2 εκατ. ευρώ στον προϋπολογισμό της ΚΕΠΠΑ– και με την περαιτέρω ανάπτυξη των προτάσεων για μια στρατηγική της ΕΕ για τη μεταρρύθμιση του τομέα ασφάλειας, η οποία ξεκίνησε υπό την περσινή βρετανική Προεδρία της ΕΕ, καθώς και στη διάσκεψη της αυστριακής Προεδρίας για τα Δυτικά Βαλκάνια. Πέρυσι, τα ευρωπαϊκά κράτη μέλη, ως μέρος των ΗΕ, συμφώνησαν επί ενός μέσου εντοπισμού για τα μικρά όπλα που δεν ήταν ούτε ολοκληρωμένο –κάλυπτε τα όπλα, αλλά όχι τις σφαίρες– ούτε νομικώς δεσμευτικό. Φέτος, οι αντιπρόσωποι της ΕΕ πρέπει να δείξουν ότι έχουμε την πολιτική βούληση να προχωρήσουμε περαιτέρω για να προωθήσουμε την πρόταση που ήδη εγκρίθηκε από το Συμβούλιο και το Κοινοβούλιο για μια νομικώς δεσμευτική διεθνή συνθήκη για το εμπόριο όπλων και να διασφαλίσουν, τόσο στην αναθεωρητική διάσκεψη τον Ιούλιο όσο και στην Πρώτη Επιτροπή των Ηνωμένων Εθνών τον Οκτώβριο, ένα ψήφισμα για τη συγκρότηση μιας ομάδας εργασίας που θα ξεκινήσει την πραγματοποίησή της."@el¹⁰ "Señor Presidente, con 80 millones de pistolas nuevas fabricadas cada año y una persona asesinada con pistola cada minuto, el comercio ilícito de armas pequeñas y ligeras promueve los conflictos, el crimen y el terrorismo en todo el mundo. Cinco años después del acuerdo relativo al programa de acción de las Naciones Unidas, la próxima conferencia de revisión no debe limitarse a revisar: debe actuar. Debe reconocer las principales lagunas, como la transferencia de armas pequeñas a agentes no estatales y, finalmente, formas de reducir la demanda de este tipo de armas. Debería tratar de los controles de acuerdos de producción autorizados, como el adoptado para los rifles Steyr austriacos en Malasia. Como dice el señor Winkler, Europa puede ejercer el liderazgo en este debate, demostrando la efectividad de nuestro código de conducta relativo a la venta de armas. Espero que el Consejo contraiga nuevos compromisos de ampliar su apoyo financiero a proyectos destinados a limitar la proliferación de armas pequeñas y ligeras y su uso –actualmente de solo 2 millones de euros en el presupuesto de la PESC– y partiendo de la base de las propuestas de estrategia europea para la reforma del sector de la seguridad, iniciada bajo la Presidencia británica de la Unión Europea el año pasado y, en efecto, en la conferencia de la Presidencia austriaca sobre los Balcanes Occidentales. El año pasado, los Estados miembros europeos, que forman parte de las Naciones Unidas, acordaron un instrumento de trazado de armas pequeñas y ligeras que no era completo –dado que abarcaba las pistolas, pero no las balas– ni legalmente vinculante. Este año, los representantes de la Unión Europea deben demostrar que tenemos la voluntad política de continuar promoviendo la propuesta, ya aprobada por el Consejo y el Parlamento, para el establecimiento de un tratado internacional sobre el comercio de armas legalmente vinculante y de garantizar, tanto en la conferencia de revisión de julio como en la Primera Comisión de las Naciones de Unidas de octubre, una resolución para crear un grupo de trabajo que comience a materializar esta idea."@es²⁰ "Mr President, with 80 million new guns manufactured each year, and one person killed by a gun every minute, the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons fuels conflict, crime and terrorism across the globe.

Näin ollen voidaan todeta, että pien- ja kevytaseiden laiton kauppa ruokkii konflikteja, rikollisuutta ja terrorismia kaikkialla maailmassa. Nyt kun YK:n toimintaohjelman hyväksymisestä on kulunut viisi vuotta, tulevan tarkistuskonferenssin tavoitteena ei saa olla ainoastaan tarkistaa: sen on tähdättävä toimintaan. Sen olisi määritettävä suurimmat puutteet, kuten pienaseiden toimittaminen muille toimijoille kuin valtioille, ja keinot vähentää pienaseiden kysyntää. Sen olisi käsiteltävä tarkastuksia, jotka tehdään luvanvaraiseen valmistukseen liittyvien (kuten itävaltalaisten Steyr-kiväärien yhteydessä Malesiassa tehtyjen) kauppojen yhteydessä. Kuten puheenjohtaja Winkler toteaa, EU voi johtaa tätä keskustelua ja osoittaa asemyyntiä koskevien käytännesääntöjemme tehokkuuden. Toivon, että neuvosto tarjoaa uusia sitoumuksia taloudellisen tuen ulottamiseksi koskemaan myös hankkeita, joiden tarkoituksena on rajoittaa pienaseiden leviämistä ja käyttöä – YUTP:n talousarviossa määrä on tällä hetkellä ainoastaan 2 miljoonaa euroa – ja ottaa huomioon viime vuonna Yhdistyneen kuningaskunnan puheenjohtajuuskaudella ja puheenjohtajavaltio Itävallan Länsi-Balkania käsitelleessä konferenssissa aloitettua turvallisuusalan uudistusta koskevaa EU:n strategiaa varten esitetyt ehdotukset. EU:n jäsenvaltiot sopivat viime vuonna osana YK:ta pienaseiden jäljitysvälineestä, joka ei ole laaja-alainen – se kattaa revolverit, mutta ei luoteja – eikä oikeudellisesti sitova. Tänä vuonna EU:n edustajien on osoitettava poliittinen tahtomme tehdä enemmän, jotta kansainvälistä asekauppaa koskevaa neuvoston ja parlamentin jo hyväksymää oikeudellisesti sitovaa sopimusta koskeva ehdotus hyväksytään, ja varmistaa sekä heinäkuussa pidettävässä tarkistuskonferenssissa että YK:n I-komiteassa (First Committee) lokakuussa työryhmän perustamista koskeva päätöslauselma, jotta asiat alkavat edetä."@fi⁷ "Monsieur le Président, avec 80 millions de nouveaux fusils fabriqués chaque année et une personne tuée par balle chaque minute, le commerce illégal d’armes légères et de petit calibre alimente les conflits, la criminalité et le terrorisme à travers le monde. Cinq ans après l’adoption du programme d’action des Nations unies, la prochaine conférence de révision ne doit pas se contenter d’analyser: elle doit agir. Elle devrait identifier les principales lacunes, comme le transfert d’armes de petit calibre à des acteurs non étatiques, et rechercher des moyens permettant de réduire la demande de telles armes. Elle devrait mettre en œuvre des contrôles relatifs aux accords de production sous licence, tel celui applicable aux fusils autrichiens Steyr en Malaisie. Comme M. Winkler l’a déclaré, l’Europe peut faire autorité dans ce débat, en démontrant l’efficacité de son code de conduite sur les ventes d’armes. J’espère que le Conseil fournira de nouveaux engagements en vue de renforcer le soutien financier des projets destinés à limiter la prolifération des armes de petit calibre et leur utilisation - à l’heure actuelle, cette aide représente deux millions d’euros dans le budget de la PESC. Il faut aussi développer les propositions axées sur une stratégie européenne de réforme de la sécurité, entamées sous la présidence britannique de l’UE l’an dernier et lors de la conférence de la présidence autrichienne sur les Balkans occidentaux. L’an dernier, les États membres de l’UE ont, en tant que membres des Nations unies, convenu d’un instrument de suivi pour les armes de petit calibre qui n’était ni exhaustif - il incluait les fusils, pas les balles - ni obligatoire. Cette année, les représentants de l’UE doivent montrer que nous sommes animés par la volonté politique de promouvoir la proposition d’un traité international obligatoire sur le commerce des armes, déjà avalisée par le Conseil et le Parlement, et de veiller à adopter une résolution visant à créer un groupe de travail à cet effet, tant lors de la conférence de révision organisée en juillet que lors de la réunion de la première commission des Nations unies en octobre."@fr⁸ "Mr President, with 80 million new guns manufactured each year, and one person killed by a gun every minute, the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons fuels conflict, crime and terrorism across the globe.

A cinque anni dal raggiunto accordo sul programma d’azione delle Nazione Unite, l’imminente conferenza di revisione non deve limitarsi a riesaminare il problema: deve agire. Deve riconoscere le principali lacune, come il trasferimento di armi di piccolo calibro ad attori non istituzionali e infine trovare modi per ridurne la domanda. Deve sottoporre a controllo la produzione soggetta a licenza, come è avvenuto per i fucili in Malesia. Come ha affermato il Presidente Winkler, l’Europa può guidare questo dibattito, dimostrando l’efficacia del suo codice di condotta per le vendite di armi. Mi auguro che il Consiglio stanzi nuovi fondi − al momento sono disponibili solo due milioni di euro del bilancio della PESC − per estendere il sostegno finanziario a progetti volti a ridurre la proliferazione di armi di piccolo calibro e il loro impiego, facendo affidamento sulle proposte di una strategia europea per la riforma del settore della sicurezza, avanzate durante la Presidenza del Regno Unito dell’anno scorso e soprattutto in occasione della conferenza della Presidenza austriaca sui Balcani occidentali. Lo scorso anno gli Stati membri dell’Unione europea, in qualità di membri ONU, hanno concordato uno strumento per rintracciare le armi leggere che non era completo − includeva le armi da fuoco, ma non le munizioni − né giuridicamente vincolante. Quest’anno i deputati europei devono dimostrare la volontà politica dell’Europa di spingersi oltre, promuovendo la proposta, già appoggiata dal Consiglio e dal Parlamento, di un trattato internazionale giuridicamente vincolante sul commercio di armi, e garantendo − sia alla conferenza di revisione di luglio che alla riunione di ottobre della prima commissione dell’ONU, − una proposta di risoluzione intesa alla formazione di un gruppo di lavoro che ne avvii l’elaborazione."@it¹² "Mr President, with 80 million new guns manufactured each year, and one person killed by a gun every minute, the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons fuels conflict, crime and terrorism across the globe.

Vijf jaar na het sluiten van de overeenkomst over het VN-actieprogramma moet de komende toetsingsconferentie meer dan doen alleen toetsen: er moet gehandeld worden. Er moet erkend worden dat er belangrijke hiaten bestaan, zoals de overdracht van handwapens aan actoren die geen staat zijn, en uiteindelijk moet er gezocht worden naar manieren om de vraag naar handwapens te verkleinen. De toetsingsconferentie moet zich ook bezig houden met controlemechanismen voor het afgeven van vergunningen voor de productie van handwapens, zoals het mechanisme dat Maleisië hanteert voor Oostenrijkse Steyr-geweren. Zoals de heer Winkler heeft gezegd, kan Europa in dit debat leiderschap bieden door te laten zien hoe effectief onze gedragscode voor de uitvoer van wapens is. Ik hoop dat de Raad met nieuwe voorstellen zal komen voor een ruimere financiële steun aan projecten die gericht zijn op het beperken van de proliferatie van handvuurwapens - waarvoor nu slechts twee miljoen euro beschikbaar is in de begroting voor het gemeenschappelijk buitenlands en veiligheidsbeleid - en zal voortborduren op de voorstellen voor een EU-strategie voor de hervorming van de veiligheidssector, waar vorig jaar onder het Britse voorzitterschap, en ook tijdens de conferentie over de Westelijke Balkan die onder het Oostenrijkse voorzitterschap is gehouden, een begin mee is gemaakt. Vorig jaar zijn de Europese lidstaten, als onderdeel van de VN, akkoord gegaan met de instelling van een instrument voor het opsporen van handvuurwapens dat niet allesomvattend is - vuurwapens vallen er wel onder, maar kogels niet - en ook niet wettelijk bindend is. Dit jaar moeten de vertegenwoordigers van de EU laten zien dat we de politieke wil hebben om het voorstel voor een wettelijk bindend internationaal wapenhandelsverdrag, waar de Raad en het Parlement al mee akkoord zijn gegaan, verder te promoten, en om zowel op de toetsingsconferentie van komende maand als in de Eerste Commissie van de Verenigde Naties in oktober een resolutie aangenomen te krijgen waarmee een werkgroep wordt ingesteld die een begin moet maken met de uitvoering."@nl³ "Mr President, with 80 million new guns manufactured each year, and one person killed by a gun every minute, the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons fuels conflict, crime and terrorism across the globe.

Cinco anos após o programa de acção das Nações Unidas ter sido acordado, a Conferência de Revisão a realizar proximamente não deve apenas rever: deve agir. Deve reconhecer lacunas fundamentais, como a transferência de armas ligeiras para actores não estatais e, em última análise, procurar formas de reduzir a procura de armas ligeiras. Deve examinar a questão dos acordos de produção sob licença, tal como o que foi estabelecido para as espingardas austríacas Steyr na Malásia. Tal como diz o Senhor Presidente Winkler, a Europa pode dar provas de liderança neste debate, demonstrando a eficácia do nosso código de conduta sobre a venda de armas. Espero que o Conselho possa prometer um aumento do apoio financeiro a projectos destinados a travar a proliferação e utilização de armas ligeiras - que, neste momento, ascende apenas a 2 milhões de euros no orçamento da PESC - e dar continuidade às propostas de uma estratégia comunitária relativa à reforma do sector da segurança, um trabalho iniciado no ano passado durante a Presidência do Reino Unido e, também, durante a conferência sobre os Balcãs ocidentais promovida pela Presidência austríaca. No ano passado, os Estados-Membros da UE, como membros da ONU, chegaram a acordo sobre um instrumento de rastreamento para as armas ligeiras que não era abrangente - na medida em que apenas contemplava as armas de fogo e não as balas - nem juridicamente vinculativo. Este ano, os representantes da UE devem mostrar que temos a vontade política necessária para ir mais longe e promover a proposta já aprovada pelo Conselho e pelo Parlamento relativa a um tratado internacional sobre o comércio de armas que seja juridicamente vinculativo e assegurar, tanto na Conferência de Revisão de Julho próximo como na reunião da Primeira Comissão da ONU a realizar em Outubro, que seja adoptada uma resolução tendo em vista a constituição de um grupo de trabalho destinado a concretizar esse objectivo."@pt¹⁷ "Mr President, with 80 million new guns manufactured each year, and one person killed by a gun every minute, the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons fuels conflict, crime and terrorism across the globe. Five years after the UN programme of action was agreed, the forthcoming review conference must not just review: it must act. It should recognise key gaps, such as the transfer of small arms to non-state actors and, ultimately, ways of reducing the demand for small arms. It should address controls for licensed production deals, like that adopted for Austrian Steyr rifles in Malaysia. As Mr Winkler says, Europe can offer leadership in this debate, demonstrating the effectiveness of our code of conduct on arms sales. I hope the Council will offer new commitments to extend financial support to projects aimed at limiting small arms proliferation and their use – currently just EUR 2 million in the CFSP budget – and by building on the proposals for an EU strategy for security sector reform, started under last year’s UK Presidency of the EU and, indeed, at the Austrian Presidency conference on the western Balkans. Last year European Member States, as part of the UN, agreed a tracing instrument for small arms that was neither comprehensive – covering guns, not bullets – nor legally binding. This year EU representatives must show that we have the political will to go further to promote the proposal already endorsed by the Council and Parliament for a legally binding international arms trade treaty, and to ensure, both at the review conference this July and at the UN First Committee in October, a resolution to set up a working group to begin to make it happen."@sk¹⁸ "Mr President, with 80 million new guns manufactured each year, and one person killed by a gun every minute, the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons fuels conflict, crime and terrorism across the globe.

Med 80 miljoner nytillverkade pistoler varje år och en person som dödas med pistol varje minut underblåser den olagliga handeln med handeldvapen och lätta vapen konflikter, brottslighet och terrorism över hela världen. Fem år efter överenskommelsen om FN:s handlingsprogram räcker det inte med bara en översyn vid den kommande översynskonferensen: det krävs att man agerar. Man bör identifiera nyckelklyftor, såsom transport av handeldvapen till icke-statliga aktörer, och slutligen olika sätt att minska efterfrågan på handeldvapen. Man bör ta upp kontroller för avtal om licensproduktion, som exempelvis det som godkändes för österrikiska Steyr rifles i Malaysia. Europa kan, som Hans Winkler säger, erbjuda ledarskap i denna debatt genom att visa effektiviteten hos vår uppförandekod vid vapenförsäljning. Jag hoppas att rådet kommer att erbjuda nya åtaganden för att öka det ekonomiska stödet för projekt som syftar till att begränsa spridningen av handeldvapen och deras användning – för närvarande ligger GUSP:s budget på 2 miljoner euro – och genom att bygga på de förslag till en EU-strategi för en reform av säkerhetssektorn som inleddes under förra årets brittiska ordförandeskap för EU, och vid det österrikiska ordförandeskapets konferens om västra Balkan. Förra året enades EU:s medlemsstater, som en del av FN, om ett spårningsinstrument för handeldvapen som varken var övergripande – spårar pistoler, inte kulor – eller rättsligt bindande. I år måste företrädare för EU visa att vi har den politiska viljan att gå längre för att främja det förslag som redan antagits av rådet och parlamentet om ett rättsligt bindande internationellt fördrag om vapenhandel, och säkra en resolution, både vid översynskonferensen i juli och vid FN:s första utskott i oktober, för inrättande av en arbetsgrupp för att se till att det händer något."@sv²¹
