"The proposal for a regulation aims to implement Article 10 of the United Nations Protocol against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Their Parts and Components and Ammunition. It was adopted in May 2001 as a Protocol supplementing the UN Convention against Transnational Organised Crime. It entered into force on 3 July 2005 after it had been ratified by 40 countries and is the first binding instrument relating to small arms adopted at a global level. The proposed regulation introduces an export procedure to be applied by Member States to exports to third countries. Its adoption would enable Article 10 of the United Nations Firearms Protocol (UNFP) to be applied in all the Member States, which would establish a uniform system for trade in firearms, their parts and components and ammunition within the European Union. The aim of harmonising and simplifying the procedures followed is supplemented by the endeavour to help combat illegal trafficking in firearms by encouraging and strengthening cooperation between states. The proposed regulation covers the trade in and transfer of non-automatic firearms and their parts and ammunition for civil (non-military) use to third countries, including countries which are not contracting parties to the UNFP. I firmly believe that it is important for Article 10 of the UNFP to be implemented in all the Member States with a view to harmonising procedures in the attempt to create a common system to regulate the trade in firearms."@en1
