    From the European Parliament:

    MEPs seek tougher rules on Arms trade

    Parliament adopted an annual report on the implementation of the EU Code of Conduct on Arms Exports. The own-initiative report by Raül Romeva of the Green group calls for the currently voluntary code to become legally binding. The report urges EU members “to keep under constant review the human rights situation in arms importing countries,” and to “agree on a list of countries involved in armed conflicts to which arms exports should be banned in principle.”

    It calls for the continuation of the arms embargo against China “until there is a clear and lasting improvement in the situation regarding human rights and social and political freedoms”, and demands stronger EU support for an international Arms Trade Treaty. Along with the US and China, the EU is the world’s largest exporter of arms.
