Eu Arms Embargo On China
EDM number 986 in 2003-04, proposed by Harry Cohen on 19/04/2004.
That this House notes that the European Council has invited the General Affairs and External Relations Council to re-examine the question of the embargo on the sale of arms to the People's Republic of China; is concerned that, not only does the existing embargo still permit EU member states to export arms components to the People's Republic of China, but that a number of EU member states have expressed support for the lifting of this embargo at an early date; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to make a commitment to maintaining this embargo and to make representations to EU partners to do likewise, on the grounds that the People's Republic of China continues to abuse human rights, to occupy Tibet and to use the international war on terror as an excuse to repress people who engage in non-violent political activity.
This motion has been signed by a total of 63 MPs.
