"The EU’s ban on the trade in goods or services for the purposes of inflicting cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment of people, anywhere in the world, stems from a principle that should remain absolute.
For this reason, and in order to better ensure that the private sector in the EU stays out of such trade, a ban on the marketing and promotion of this category of products is an important improvement in the review of the 2005 regulation.
Banning these goods from transiting through the EU territory is another logical corollary to this basic principle of our foreign policy, which righty encompasses dual purpose artefacts, such as crowd control implements or certain, when there is a risk that they will be used in torture or executions.
Loopholes in the legislation will be closed, and enforcement should be monitored more effectively.
I hope the Commission review, due by mid-2020, will register an improvement in the way the EU’s ban on torture goods works in practice, thanks to the present legislative changes."@en1
