§ Lord Hyltonasked Her Majesty's Government:
By what means the EU Common Position of 1st October requiring a moratorium on the export of all anti-personnel mines will be brought to the attention of states still permitting the export of such weapons.
§ The Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (Baroness Chalker of Wallasey)We and our EU partners continue to take every opportunity to bring this important step to the attention of such states. We did so most recently in the EU Presidency address to the Ottawa Conference on anti-personnel landmines which took place from 3rd October to 5th October and in the Presidency statement to the United Nations General Assembly First Committee on 14th October.
