"The code of conduct concerning arms is not legally binding, so there are no legal grounds for sanctions. However, the Swedish Presidency is working to achieve greater openness and transparency in this area as in most others. I believe that we have seen several positive, constructive steps taken on the road to greater transparency, even in the application of the code of conduct for arms export. We will continue to work with our supporters in the Council to take further steps to increase transparency in the issues surrounding arms export.
As far as the Western Sahara conflict is concerned, it has gone on far too long. I believe that we all currently feel great frustration over the lack of progress. However, the Council is of the firm opinion that we can best help the work on finding a peaceful solution by continuing our clear support for the UN and the UN Secretary General’s personal envoy James Baker. This is the stance the Council will continue to take."@en1
