"This new regulation guarantees the safety of our citizens by improving the traceability of arms, without, however, penalising legitimate users such as hunters and target shooters. In my capacity as rapporteur for the opinion, I welcome the fact that we have managed to achieve the right and fair balance on this matter. The procedures required of hunters and target shooters when they temporarily leave the territory of the European Union have been simplified. Similarly, administrative procedures for dealers and manufacturers of small arms have not been increased. Weapons collectors will not be affected by this regulation. In the EU, there are hundreds of SMEs which represent not only jobs, but also expertise in the manufacture of our sporting weapons. We have been careful not to penalise them, in particular, in the face of foreign competition. We must stand firm against terrorism and all forms of crime, and prevent the illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in firearms, but this should not be done at the expense of the noble passion of millions of our citizens."@en1
