"Madam President, cluster bombs have killed and injured thousands of civilians during the last 40 years and sadly continue to do so today. We must remember that a third of all recorded cluster munitions casualties are children. Take the case of a Vietnamese girl helping her father with the gardening one day. She was the victim of a cluster bomb and lost both her legs. The tragedy is that she was considered lucky: four out of ten cluster bomb accidents result in death. After years of campaigning, we finally now have a convention which can help to deliver change. It is absolutely vital, first and foremost, that all EU Member States sign and ratify the convention as a matter of urgency. Sadly, as Mrs Gomes says and as this resolution states, only 11 Member States have ratified the convention so far. As we move towards the entry into force of this convention on 1 August, I would like to see a concerted effort by Parliament and the Commission to convince all EU Member States to sign and ratify it. EU Member States that have signed should work quickly to put into place national legislation to implement it and destroy their stockpiles, as Spain has already done. In 2002, I was Parliament’s rapporteur for its report on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which was adopted in 2006. The EU will soon sign this landmark convention. It will be a total contradiction if we then failed to take action on cluster bombs. Looking to the future, it is important as well that the Commission and the Council include a ban on cluster munitions in a standard clause in agreements with third countries. I would like to hear the High Representative’s plans to take this forward. The convention also establishes a new humanitarian standard for the assistance of victims in Article 5, calling for guidelines and good practice, including in the areas of medical care, rehabilitation and psychological support. Also important, as the High Representative has mentioned, is the clearance of the millions of unexploded cluster munition remnants that are left behind after conflicts. Article 6 of the convention calls for each country to provide assistance for clearance and destruction of cluster munition remnants and information concerning various means and technologies related to the clearance of those munitions. We must do all we can to save the lives of thousands who have yet to be killed and injured and to help those who have been. We know enough about the horrific effects of these weapons to know that even those who have not signed the convention should never ever use them again. I urge you all to support this resolution."@en4

"Señora Presidenta, las bombas racimo se han cobrado la vida de miles de civiles durante los últimos cuarenta años y lamentablemente siguen haciéndolo en la actualidad. Debemos recordar que una tercera parte de todas las víctimas de este tipo de municiones son niños. Pongamos por ejemplo el caso de una niña vietnamita que estaba ayudando a su padre en el jardín. Fue víctima de una bomba de racimo y perdió ambas piernas. Lo más trágico es que se consideró que había sido afortunada: cuatro de cada diez accidentes con bombas de racimo resultan fatales. Tras varios años de campaña, por fin tenemos una convención que nos puede ayudar a instaurar un cambio. Es absolutamente necesario, ante todo, que todos los Estados miembros de la UE firmen y ratifiquen la convención con urgencia. Es triste que, como señala la señora Gomes y confirma esta resolución, sólo hayan ratificado la convención once Estados miembros hasta la fecha. A medida que se acerca la fecha de entrada en vigor de esta convención, el 1 de agosto, espero que el Parlamento y la Comisión se coordinen para convencer a todos los Estados miembros de la UE de que la firmen y la ratifiquen. Los que ya la hayan firmado deberán apresurarse para formular una legislación nacional dirigida a su ejecución y para destruir sus reservas, como ya ha hecho España. En 2002 fui ponente del informe del Parlamento sobre la Convención sobre los derechos de las personas con discapacidad de las Naciones Unidas, aprobado en 2006. La UE va a firmar pronto esta convención histórica. Será totalmente contradictorio que no hagamos nada con respecto a las bombas en racimo. De cara al futuro, también es importante que la Comisión y el Consejo incluyan la prohibición de las municiones en racimo como cláusula estándar en los acuerdos celebrados con terceros países. Me gustaría saber cuáles son los planes de la Alta Representante al respecto. La convención también establece una nueva norma humanitaria para la ayuda a las víctimas en su artículo 5, exigiendo unas directrices y unas buenas prácticas, inclusive en las áreas de atención médica, rehabilitación y apoyo psicológico. Como ha indicado la Alta Representante, también es importante que se destruyan, después de los conflictos, los millones de municiones en racimo que no hayan explosionado. El artículo 6 de la convención pide a los países que proporcionen asistencia para la limpieza y destrucción de restos de municiones en racimo e información relativa a diversos medios y tecnologías relacionados con la remoción de municiones en racimo. Debemos hacer todo lo posible para salvar las vidas de las miles de personas que aún quedan por morir y sufrir lesiones y ayudar a los que ya las sufran. Tenemos conocimientos suficientes sobre los terribles efectos de estas armas como para saber que ni siquiera deberían volver a utilizarlas los que no hayan firmado la convención. Les insto a todos a que apoyen esta resolución."@es21

EU Member States that have signed should work quickly to put into place national legislation to implement it and destroy their stockpiles, as Spain has already done. In 2002, I was Parliament’s rapporteur for its report on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, which was adopted in 2006. The EU will soon sign this landmark Convention. It will be a total contradiction if we then failed to take action on cluster bombs. Looking to the future, it is important as well that the Commission and the Council include a ban on cluster munitions in a standard clause in agreements with third countries. I would like to hear the High Representative’s plans to take this forward. The Convention also establishes a new humanitarian standard for the assistance of victims in Article 5, calling for guidelines and good practice including in the areas of medical care, rehabilitation and psychological support. Also important, as the High Representative has mentioned, is the clearance of the millions of unexploded cluster munition remnants that are left behind after conflicts. Article 6 of the Convention calls for each country to provide assistance for clearance and destruction of cluster munition remnants and information concerning various means and technologies related to the clearance of those munitions. We must do all we can to save the lives of thousands who have yet to be killed and injured and to help those who have been. We know enough about the horrific effects of these weapons to know that even those who have not signed the Convention should never ever use them again. I urge you all to support this resolution."@nl3
"Madam President, cluster bombs have killed and injured thousands of civilians during the last 40 years and sadly continue to do so today. We must remember that a third of all recorded cluster munitions casualties are children. Take the case of a Vietnamese girl helping her father with the gardening one day. She was the victim of a cluster bomb and lost both her legs. The tragedy is that she was considered lucky: four out of ten cluster bomb accidents result in death. After years of campaigning, we finally now have a Convention which can help to deliver change. It is absolutely vital, first and foremost, that all EU Member States sign and ratify the Convention as a matter of urgency.

"Doamnă preşedintă, bombele cu dispersie au ucis şi rănit mii de civili în ultimii 40 de ani şi, din păcate, continuă şi în prezent. Trebuie să ne amintim că o treime din toate victimele înregistrate cauzate de muniţiile cu dispersie sunt copii. Să luam exemplul unei fete vietnameze care într-o zi îşi ajuta tatăl la grădinărit. Ea a căzut victimă a unei bombe cu dispersie şi şi-a pierdut ambele picioare. Tragedia este că a fost considerată norocoasă: patru din zece accidente cauzate de bombele cu dispersie cauzează moartea. După ani de campanie, avem în sfârşit o convenţie care ne poate ajuta să realizăm schimbarea. Este absolut vital, mai întâi, ca toate statele membre ale Uniunii Europene să semneze şi să ratifice convenţia de urgenţă. Din păcate, după cum a spus dna Gomes şi după cum declară această rezoluţie, numai 11 state membre au ratificat convenţia până în prezent. Pe măsură ce ne apropiem de intrarea în vigoare a acestei convenţii la 1 august, aş dori să observ un efort comun din partea Parlamentului şi a Comisiei de a convinge toate statele membre ale Uniunii Europene să semneze şi să ratifice această convenţie. Statele membre ale Uniunii Europene care au semnat-o trebuie să creeze legislaţia naţională adecvată pentru punerea în aplicare a acesteia şi distrugerea stocurilor, urmând exemplul Spaniei. În 2002, îndeplineam funcţia de raportoare a Parlamentului pentru raportul său referitor la Convenţia ONU privind drepturile persoanelor cu handicap, adoptată în 2006. Curând, UE va semna această convenţie cheie. Aceasta va fi o contradicţie totală dacă demersurile noastre privind bombele cu dispersie eşuează. Pe viitor, este, de asemenea, important ca Comisia şi Consiliul să introducă o clauză standard în acordurile cu ţările terţe privind munițiile cu dispersie. Aş dori să cunosc planurile Înaltei Reprezentante pentru realizarea acestui lucru. Convenţia stabileşte, de asemenea, la articolul 5, un nou standard umanitar pentru asistarea victimelor, care solicită orientări şi bune practici, inclusiv în domeniul îngrijirilor medicale, al reabilitării şi al sprijinului psihologic. Este, de asemenea, important, așa cum menţionat şi Înalta Reprezentantă, să înlăturăm milioanele de resturi de muniţii cu dispersie neexplodate rămase în urma conflictelor. Articolul 6 din convenţie solicită fiecărei ţări să asigure asistenţă pentru înlăturarea şi distrugerea resturilor de muniţii cu dispersie şi informarea în ceea ce priveşte numeroasele metode şi tehnologii relative la aceste muniţii. Trebuie să facem tot posibilul pentru a salva vieţile a mii de persoane care vor fi ucise sau rănite şi să îi ajutăm pe aceia care au fost deja afectaţi. Ştim destule despre efectele îngrozitoare ale acestor arme pentru a realiza că până şi cei care nu au semnat această convenţie nu trebuie să le mai folosească niciodată. Vă invit să susţineţi această rezoluţie."@ro18
