EU to debate China arms embargo at summit

EU leaders were set to declare their "political will" to lift an arms embargo on China, the draft summit conclusions obtained by AFP said.

The Council of European Union leaders said it was "looking forward to further progress in all areas" of the 25-nation bloc's relationship with China.

"In this context the European Council reaffirmed the political will to continue to work towards lifting the arms embargo," the draft summit conclusions obtained by AFP said.

"It underlined that the result of any decision should not be an increase of arms exports from EU member states to China, neither in quantitative nor qualitative terms," they added.

The leaders "recalled the importance of the criteria" of a new EU code of conduct on arms exports," in particular criteria regarding human rights, stability and security in the region and the national security of friendly and allied countries".

No Immediate Decision Expected

EU leaders have agreed to include a debate on the possible lifting of an arms embargo against China onto the agenda of a Brussels summit Friday but have no plans to make an immediate decision, officials said.

The deputy prime minister of the Czech Republic, Martin Jahn, told Agence France-Presse that the issue, which was not on the original program, would be discussed early Friday after talks on the 2007-2013 EU budget and the fight against terrorism.

A European diplomat added that the heads of government would discuss the embargo, but that no decision would be taken at the summit, which wraps up Friday afternoon.

Several of the 25 member states have demanded leaders rule on the issue during the first half of 2005, when Luxembourg will hold the rotating EU presidency.

Countries like France argue that, a decade and a half later, the ban is 'outdated'.

German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder said during a visit to China earlier this month that he supported the end to the embargo and would work for a consensus within the EU for lifting it.

At an EU-China summit in The Hague this month, diplomats said the campaign against the embargo appeared to be gaining momentum inside the 25-member bloc.
