". – Mr President, the Commission fully supports the resolutions tabled by the different groups in the European Parliament. It is indeed critical at present that effective progress be achieved by the international community in the field of non-proliferation and disarmament. As regards the specific case of the BTWC signed in 1972, the lack of a verification protocol has been a major flaw vis-à-vis non-proliferation in the international community. The Ad Hoc Group was created to resolve this issue. After five years of difficult negotiations at the Disarmament Conference in Geneva, the time has now come to conclude such a protocol.
The EU praises the commitment of Ambassador Tóth, Chairman of the Ad Hoc Group, to achieve effective progress in time for adoption of the verification protocol during the BTWC Conference at the end of this year. The Commission hopes that all States Parties will accept the composite paper as a good starting point towards enabling the task of drafting and agreeing on the protocol to be finalised in time for the BTWC Conference."@en1
