"Madam President, I would like to congratulate Baroness Ashton on her words and Ms Jäätteenmäki on her report. My position is in line with that of my colleagues Ms Gomes and Ms Koppa, among others. Therefore, I will not repeat it. I simply wish to express my satisfaction with the support for a United Nations treaty that is seeking to bring order to a trade system that is out of control.
We need to increase control, regulation and transparency in the manufacturing of, and trade in, arms. This does not mean being against the manufacturing of arms for a specific country. My country has a significant arms industry, but we nevertheless have other contradictions: for example, a minister who has been a top executive in the production of arms, missiles and anti-personnel mines now being in charge of the department. This contradiction is a reason why we need the greater transparency that we are going to have in the international community and in the European Union, speaking with one voice rather than each country speaking alone."@en1
