"Arms trading is one of the world’s most lucrative industries. While nuclear weapons are subject to strict controls as well as trade bans and conditions, this does not apply to conventional weapons, although wars have hitherto been waged conventionally. In order to secure peace and to curb and regulate uncontrolled arms trading, intense negotiations on the UN Arms Trade Treaty are currently under way. I did not vote in favour of the resolution because I am of the opinion that, although the approaches adopted by the Treaty are quite good, the main problem, namely illegal trading in weapons, cannot be curbed in this way. Warring countries will always find new opportunities to procure weapons, illegally if need be. This problem could be exacerbated as a result of the Treaty to the extent that it could even lead to a real boom in the black market for weapons."@en1
