"Madam President, whilst I appreciate the efforts of the European Union to regulate the arms trade and seek more effective control mechanisms for the transit and sale of arms, it seems to me that we could maybe try to establish a more sophisticated mechanism for the distribution of new weapons and weapons systems which would exclude the institution of sale, whereby, following a transaction, the manufacturer and supplier would lose their grip on the future use of such goods. Perhaps we could create a more effective system for controlling the use of weapons and weapons systems if, under the auspices of the United Nations, we were able to adopt a philosophy whereby a manufacturer and distributor would have purview over the use of heavy weapons in particular and weapons systems throughout their lifespans by means of exclusive servicing and supply of consumables; the weapons and weapons systems would not then become the property of the end user, but would only be owned on a leasehold basis. In such a case, the owner and weapons manufacturer would still retain control over how the weapons and weapons systems would be used in the future, and this would then allow us to have an input as to their use."@en1
