lpv:translated text	"Madam President, I would like to commend our colleague on preparing an excellent report. I can only agree with the High Representative that it is the least regulated sector of economic activities that we have to deal with. It is an irony that global arms exports have been spared the economic crisis. Instead, they have flourished. EU Member States are responsible for about one third of all arms exports; of the ten leading exporters of arms, six are EU Member States. Uncontrolled trading in arms continues to be a constant challenge, not only to international peace but also to democracy. Therefore, our ideal should be a legally binding and comprehensive Arms Trade Treaty (ATT). The EU has a special responsibility for the overall improvement of the situation because if we cannot take the lead in showing determination and coordination, then what can we expect from others? Therefore, we call on the Member States to provide their full support to the EU delegation taking part in future negotiations. Job creation is a reality that cannot simply be set aside, but it should not become an excuse for evading a clear commitment to UN standards, transparency and a united European approach. The justification given for selling Mistrals to Russia was the preservation of jobs in the French shipbuilding industry. Clear provisions for regular reporting by all future parties to the treaty on all arms transfer decisions, including the disclosure of recipients of military equipment, will be of key importance."@en1
