Strasbourg, 02/11/2004 (Agence Europe) - On Thursday in Strasbourg, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on fragmentation bombs which calls for an "immediate moratorium on use, supply, production, transfer and export of cluster bombs, until there an international agreement has been negotiated". Some member states like Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, Spain and Belgium are still producing these weapons. Parliament is "encouraging all countries (including Poland and Latvia), "which are not part of Protocol V on Explosive Remnants of War (ERW), nor part of the Ottawa Convention on anti-personnel mines, to sign and ratify the two texts". It called on those using the weapons that produce ERW to assume their responsibility by locating them and contributing to the mine clearance efforts by keeping a register of munitions that have been used but not exploded. Following the use of a large number of fragmentation munitions by coalition forces during the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, they are insisting that, "in no circumstances, or any conditions, will EU troops" use them. MEPs call for "Member States to take immediate measures to ensure that anti-vehicle mines that could explode due to the presence or the proximity of someone, are destroyed".
