"Madam President, I would like to express my sincere gratitude. I am very pleased to hear that the European Union is actively involved in the preparation of a UN treaty on the arms trade. What is needed is a global treaty in this difficult area. I would, however, also like to point out that we must think very carefully about the nature of this treaty. The arms trade does not just mean the import and export of weapons. In my opinion, our future efforts should be more focused on the re-export of arms and on technical assistance in modernising old weapons. These instruments are frequently used to get round the law and result in the wrong people obtaining weapons. I would therefore argue for more attention to be given to the re-export of arms and to the technical modernisation of old weaponry."@en1
