lpv:spoken text	"I thank the Commissioner for his response. I regard consideration as positive and urge him to bring that forward. We know that two billion a day is still being spent on the military and on arms sales – 40% of it from Europe. All of us therefore have to be more effective in curbing this trade. I congratulate the Commission on what it has done in terms of implementing the Joint Action on small arms – the project in Albania. I urge the Commissioner to implement the project in Cambodia as soon as possible, and other projects which I know he and his services are considering in a former Soviet Republic and in a South African country. I hope that when we look at the review that is taking place in the Council at the moment, we will all be able to contribute in a way that will curb the arms trade and enable more money to be made available for development."@en1
