lpv:translated text	". The terrorist attack on the USA gives us an incentive to look at the problem of arms exports in a new light. Having said which, the Titley report, despite containing a number of positive, albeit general, pointers, does not I think, come anywhere near to responding to the demands of the times. It is unacceptable for the European Union to base its code of conduct in arms exports on the criterion of the ‘needs of the European defence industry’, because this negates any substantive measures which might be mentioned. The European Union should move to get the USA, Russia, China and all the other major arms exporters to adopt binding rules of conduct and their unwillingness should not be a reason for the European Union to relax or otherwise fail to act properly. At the same time, we need an observatory at European level, we need records and transparency on arms exports so that we can put an immediate end to the scandalous practice of selling arms to forces of crime and destabilisation which have no hesitation in using terrorism to turn their arms against the European Union and its citizens. This is why I feel that the motion falls short and I did not vote for it."@en1
