lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Baroness Ashton, I would like to start by saying thank you for the presence of the High Representative as well as the many people in the audience. I know that it is not easy to focus on a treaty on the arms trade when the eyes of the whole world are focused on football pitches. I would also like to say how glad I am that, as the High Representative has just said, the European Union has played a particularly active role in these bilateral talks. The arms trade is something that we do, of course, have to deal with in the European Union, but we will not be successful if we do not work with other countries such as the United States, China and Russia. We are, of course, aware that trading in arms has been, and continues to be, a controversial issue. The European Union is an arms producer and exporter. There are several hundred thousand people working in arms manufacturing in the European Union. There are cuts in defence budgets. It is, of course, natural that companies involved in the arms trade should try to find external markets and export weapons. However, as has been noted by several speakers, this must be within the law. As Ms Lösing said just a moment ago, we must avoid selling arms to conflict areas and we must ensure that these weapons are not used against civilians or in a way that breaches human rights."@en1
