Review of rules of export authorisation, and import and transit measures for firearms
Proposal for a REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on import, export and transit measures for firearms, their essential components and ammunition, implementing Article 10 of the United Nations’ Protocol against the illicit manufacturing of and trafficking in firearms, their parts and components and ammunition, supplementing the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime (UN Firearms Protocol) (recast)
Initiative summary:
This initiative aims at better preventing diversion from the legal trade to the black market and adapting to current threats by (1) ensuring a uniform implementation of the Firearms Protocol in the EU, (2) ensuring an effective tracing of firearms in international transactions, (3) improving the exchange of information between national authorities, and (4) facilitating the legitimate international trade of firearms and providing the industry with as little regulatory burden as possible.
