It is high time indeed for an internationally agreed workable and efficient regulation, accepted by all stakeholders. My delegation calls upon all concerned parties, both importers and exporters, to join this important endeavor in the pursuit of peace in Africa to the benefit of populations who since decades have been the victims of endless wars. Inclusiveness is key to the success of this endeavor. The Resolution on Sierra Leone calls for quick action. I explained the measures Belgium took at the national level.
European measures are soon to follow.
We have contributed to the proposals which have been put before the Sanctions committee and will continue to do so. Thank you for your attention.
