"Madam President, it is very important to have this opportunity to exchange views with Parliament on the important issue of the Arms Trade Treaty. I do very much value the continued support of Parliament for the work that is going on in New York to prepare for this very important conference.
Let me reassure honourable Members that we know the difference between the responsibilities and role of the Member States and the responsibilities and role that we have. But, as honourable Members will notice, it says Arms Trade Treaty and, of course, on trade and CSDP matters, we do have commitments that we need to make sure are fully in line with the work that Member States are doing, and indeed the work that Member States would wish us to do.
I would also argue, as I do consistently, that there is strength in collaboration between the 27 Member States, and the ability to work together can provide additional strength, particularly when we are trying to deal with something which will be significantly important and, I would argue, quite delicate and difficult to negotiate. We work closely with our Member States to achieve that.
With regard to the comments on the EDA – they do not have responsibility for this. The EDA, the European Defence Agency, has responsibility for collaboration between Member States, and I meet with them many times in various locations."@en1
