Mr President, firstly I welcome the report on the code of conduct and arms sales and draw to the House’ s attention the fact that many of the demands we made in our previous annual debates on this subject have been realised: in particular the new trade regulation on torture equipment, the common position on brokering, and the new obligation to stop exports if there is a risk to international humanitarian law. ###>En tant que puissance dotée de l’ arme nucléaire, nous prenons nos obligations très au sérieux.
