"Dual-use items, which can be used for both civil and military purposes, such as, for example, chemicals that can be used as fertilisers or to prepare bombs, and information technology for computers that can also be used to guide missiles, currently constitute a highly sensitive issue. European-level export controls for dual-use products and technologies aim to ensure that the international commitments of the EU and its Member States as regards the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and the proliferation of conventional weapons are respected. Examples include the Nuclear Suppliers Group, against the proliferation of nuclear items and technology, and the Australia Group, against the proliferation of chemical and biological items and technology. In practice, these extremely important controls, which make it possible to prevent the proliferation of weapons using the preventative measures laid down in Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of 5 May 2009, do not permit Parliament to take any real action. I am therefore voting for this report because I believe there is a need to update the list of items in Annex I, but I would like to stress that Parliament should have a stronger voice and a more prominent role in future amendments to the regulation."@en1
