    EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT 2009 - 2014 Committee on Foreign Affairs 2013/0225(NLE) 16.1.2014 OPINION of the Committee on Foreign Affairs for the Committee on International Trade on the draft Council decision authorising Member States to ratify, in the interests of the European Union, the Arms Trade Treaty (12178/2013 – C7-0233/2013 – 2013/0225(NLE)) Rapporteur: Krzysztof Lisek AD\1014893EN.doc PE523.065v02-00 EN United in diversity EN PA_Leg_Consent PE523.065v02-00 2/4 AD\1014893EN.doc EN SHORT JUSTIFICATION The EP welcomes the UN Resolution A/67/L.58 adopting by overwhelming majority the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT), after long negotiations culminating in a legally binding instrument of the highest standards to regulate and improve the international trade in conventional arms. The ATT is establishing the first global regulation of legal trade of arms, it will prevent illegal trade of weapons, international terrorism and organized crime and limit serious violations of international human rights law and international humanitarian law. The EU exports are under the 2008 Common Position which sets up rules and standards to be followed, as one of the major actors in this field therefore, the EU is directly concerned with the success of the ATT: as it not only establishes a level playing field for this trade but, more important, regulates a commerce of the kind of weapons most used in local wars, terrorist attacks or civil and other uprisings. The main strong point of the ATT is that State Parties are obliged to establish a national control system for these transfers and to evaluate, before authorising any transfer, the risk that these arms could impair the peace and security or could be used to commit serious violations to international humanitarian law or human rights or to commit acts of terrorism.

  • Updated Position Paper on the New EU Pesticides Legislation
    Hiltrud Breyer: Policy in Europe New EU Pesticides legislation: a win-win situation for all Updated position paper on the EP's second reading vote, 13 January 2009 (01/09) Rapporteur Hiltrud Breyer After constructive negotiations, in December 2008 the European Parliament and Council agreed on new rules for the placing pesticides on the market. On Tuesday, 13 January, the European Parliament will have its second reading vote on the agreement. As the rapporteur for the EP's Committee on Environment, Health and Food Safety on the new pesticides regulation, I am very pleased that the political agreement takes the Common Position of the EU's agricultural ministers a step further. The regulation brings crucial improvements for health and the environment. The new pesticides rules are a win-win situation for all: not only for environment, health and consumer safety, but also for the economy. They will lead to more innovation in the industry, thus boosting the competitiveness of Europe's economy. Dangerous pesticides are the number one concern of European consumers. And unfortunately the latest figures vindicate their worries: 49 per cent of all fruit, vegetables and cereals contain a cocktail of pesticides - a record high. Food in Europe is contaminated with at least 354 different pesticides. Pesticides which are most often detected include those which cause cancer, are mutagenic, toxic to reproduction or have a negative effect on the hormonal system (endocrine disruptor). The top contaminated food items are grapes, followed by bananas and peppers. The new pesticide authorisation rules mark a necessary change of direction in EU pesticide policy.
