"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the report shows the Union’s commitment to making the multilateral agreements on non-proliferation and against the development of new-generation weapons universally applicable. The report calls for sanctions to be applied to countries that do not comply with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540. Nonetheless, although it is a fact that the European Union Member States are signatories to the multilateral non-proliferation agreements, it is also a fact that two Member States are nuclear states, that Turkey, a candidate country for accession, is a nuclear state and that, even more seriously, US tactical weapons are deployed on the soil of many Member States, including Germany, Italy, Greece and the Netherlands. The hundred points of the resolution being examined say very little about Israel, India and Pakistan, which have not signed the non-proliferation treaty. With regard to the civilian nuclear programme in Iran, however, the legitimate economic and regional security interests of that great country are ignored and its government is called upon to supply verifiable guarantees as to the peaceful nature of every one of its nuclear programmes. This is a ridiculous resolution, which would even have the European Union and NATO persuade the United States administration to give up its programmes. It also welcomes the huge sums of European taxpayers’ money – hundreds of millions of euro – that are to be spent on the strategy to reduce weapons of mass destruction. The proposed report is an utter travesty of good sense and is therefore totally unacceptable."@en1
