"Decisions concerning the authorisation of export licences are taken individually by each particular Member State, with full account being taken of the Code of Conduct on arms exports and the criteria established in this Code. The implementation of arms export policies and, therefore, of the Code too continues to be the responsibility of the Member States.
The Council has not been made aware of the situation referred to by the honourable Member in his question. In any case, the Council is not informed as to the reasons why the Member States either authorise or refuse export licences, and it is not within the Council’s area of competence in any way to set itself up as a judge of these Member States. At the meeting on 25 January 1999, the Council discussed a proposal from the Presidency to the effect that the Code should be made legally binding, for example by means of a common position, but there was no agreement about this, and the issue of changing the Code into a legally binding act has not therefore been addressed since."@en1
