summary
The Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection adopted the report by Vicky FORD (ECR, UK) on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Council Directive 91/477/EEC on control of the acquisition and possession of weapons. The Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, exercising its prerogatives as an associated committee in accordance with Article 54 of the Rules of Procedure, also gave its opinion on the report. The committee recommended that the European Parliament’s position adopted at first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure should amend the Commission proposal as follows: Definition of a firearm: Members proposed to use an approach based on essential components such that any device which shares an essential component with a firearm is by definition a firearm. In addition, any portable device containing an essential component which is capable of being used in a firearm shall be considered a firearm. Replicas and signal weapons are not treated as firearms unless they can be converted into firearms or share an essential component. Members proposed that any firearm which has been converted to firing blanks remains in the definition of firearm in their original category. National defence: Member States should be allowed to authorise individuals to acquire and possess prohibited firearms and essential components thereof for national defence purposes, such as in the context of voluntary military training provided under Member State law. Museums and collectors: it should be possible for Member States to choose to grant authorisations to recognised museums and collectors for the acquisition and the possession of prohibited firearms and ammunition when necessary for historical, cultural, scientific, technical, educational, aesthetic or heritage purposes, provided that they demonstrate, prior to being granted authorisation, that they have taken the necessary measures to address any risks to public security or public order, including by way of secure storage. Dealers: Members stressed that the activities of a dealer include not only the manufacturing but also the significant modification or conversion of a firearm, such as the shortening of a complete firearm, leading to a change in its category or subcategory, and in addition the significant modification or conversion of essential components of firearms and of ammunition, and that, therefore, only authorised dealers should be permitted to engage in those activities. Suspicious transactions: a transaction for the acquisition of complete rounds of ammunition or live primer components of ammunition should be considered suspicious if, for example, it involves quantities uncommon for the envisaged private use, or if the purchaser appears unfamiliar with the use of the ammunition or is unwilling to provide proof of his/her identity. Where it is not possible for a dealer or broker to verify the identity of the purchaser, any payment solely in cash for the acquisition of firearms should be prohibited. Valid reason for the acquisition and possession of firearms: the acquisition and possession of firearms should only be permitted in respect of persons who have good cause. Member States should have the option of stipulating that the acquisition and possession of firearms for the purpose of, for example, hunting, target shooting, use by associations which foster customs and traditions and by cultural and historical bodies, the conduct of various scientific and technical activities, testing procedures and historical re-enactments, film making or historical study constitutes good cause. Effective system for monitoring the acquisition and possession of firearms: Members States should ensure that an effective system is implemented for monitoring the acquisition and possession of firearms. That system should be based on an assessment of relevant medical and psychological information upon the issuance or renewal of an authorisation. Storage: firearms should be stored in a secure way. When stored, firearms and ammunition for them shall not be readily accessible together. The level of scrutiny for the storage arrangements shall correspond to the category of the firearm concerned. Deactivation: Members proposed that Member States should ensure that the deactivation of firearms is carried out in accordance with the technical specifications set out in Annex III of the Directive. This shall not apply to firearms deactivated prior to 8 April 2016, unless those firearms are transferred to another Member State or placed on the market. Deactivation of firearms shall be carried out by public or private entities, or by individuals, authorised to do so in accordance with national law. Traceability: in order to increase the traceability of firearms and essential components and to facilitate their free movement, an assembled firearm and all separately sold essential components should be marked irremovably at the time of their being manufactured or without delay after their import into the Union. The traceability requirements should not apply to firearms which have been deactivated in accordance with this Directive. In order to improve the functioning of the information exchange between Member States, Members proposed that records should be immediately accessible via interoperable systems. In addition to meeting the need to keep track of firearms, such an information exchange system should enable firearms to be traced when they have been seized by, or handed over to, the competent authorities or forfeited by Member States, thus making it possible to ascertain what happens to firearms until such time as they are destroyed, further used, or again placed on the market. Online sales: Members stated that the conditions for purchasing firearms, essential components and ammunition by means of distance communication, in particular the internet, are such as to enable at least the identity of the purchasers and, where required, their authorisation to acquire a firearm to be verified, at the latest upon delivery, by the dealer or broker or by a public authority or a representative thereof. Activities of authorised dealers and brokers: dealers and brokers should sell, transfer or deliver firearm and essential components only to persons who hold an adequate authorisation or licence, should maintain a register of their sales and should inform the competent authorities of the Member States of any sale, transfer or delivery. Category A (prohibited) and B (subject to authorisation) firearms: the Commission proposal would have added many firearms used legally by hunters and sport shooters to the list of “Category A” firearms prohibited for civilian use. Members restricted Category A to firearms with specified characteristics, such as: (i) long firearms (i.e. firearms that are originally intended to be fired from the shoulder) that can be reduced to a length of less than 60cm without losing functionality by means of a folding or telescoping stock; (ii) firearms which allow the firing of more than 21 rounds without reloading, if a loading device with a capacity exceeding 20 rounds is part of the firearm or is inserted into it. Members are of the opinion that Member States may authorise marksmen to acquire and possess semi-automatic firearms classified in point 6 or 7a of Category A, subject to the condition that the marksman participates in shooting competitions organised by a recognised shooting club or that he regularly practises target shooting and has been doing so for at least 12 months.

summary
PURPOSE: to amend Council Directive 91/477/EEC on control of the acquisition and possession of weapons. PROPOSED ACT: Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council. ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council. BACKGROUND: the acquisition, possession and import/export of firearms for civilian use is subject to a comprehensive EU regulatory framework set out in Directive 91/477/EEC as amended by Directive 2008/51/EC. The recent terrorist attacks in Paris on 13 November are a clear evidence of the multidimensional threat posed by organised crime, and they have shown the need to further strengthen the fight against trafficking of firearms, through a coordinated and coherent approach and to take immediate action strengthening the existing rules on the access and trade with firearms. After the terrorist attacks in Paris in January 2015, EU Interior and/or Justice Ministers adopted a "Paris declaration" in which they reiterated their countries' commitment to reduce the illicit supply of firearms throughout Europe. During the informal European Council meeting of 12 February 2015, the Heads of State and Government requested that all competent authorities increase the level of cooperation in the fight against illicit trafficking of firearms, including through the swift review of relevant legislation, and a renewed dialogue with third countries on security issues. On 11 February 2015, the European Parliament adopted a Resolution on antiterrorism measures in which it called on the Commission to evaluate as a matter of urgency the existing EU rules on the movement of illegal firearms, explosive devices and arms trafficking linked to organised crime. IMPACT ASSESSMENT: due to the urgency of the proposal in the light of recent events, it is submitted without an impact assessment. The proposal can however rely on a Regulatory Fitness and Performance programme REFIT evaluation of the Firearms Directive. This evaluation has shown remaining shortcomings in areas such as the convertibility of blank firing weapons, marking requirements, deactivation, definitions, internet-selling arrangements, as well as data collection and exchange systems. Additional requirements have been identified in the light of the experience of recent events. CONTENT: the proposal seeks to amend Council Directive 91/477/EEC on control of the acquisition and possession of weapons with a view to improving some of its provisions. Definitions of brokers and dealers: the proposal clarifies definitions of brokers and dealers and ensures consistency with the definition of essential components and parts of firearms as defined by UN Firearms Protocol. Silencers are also included within the scope of the Directive. Collectors: the proposal newly includes collectors within the scope of the directive. Collectors have been identified as a possible source of traffic of firearms by the evaluation carried out. Therefore, collectors will have the possibility to acquire firearms but only subject to authorisation/declaration. Deactivated firearms: recent attacks have been conducted with badly deactivated firearms (or firearms assembled with badly deactivated components). Deactivated firearms should be covered by the directive as regards identification of the owner and registers. The proposal to introduce shortly, through an implementing regulation, stringent minimum common guidelines regarding the deactivation of firearms will render reactivation much more difficult. It cannot be excluded that deactivated arms will be reactivated despite stringent rules. Consequently, for the most dangerous firearms (category A) stricter rules have been introduced – even if they are deactivated. This means that deactivated firearms from Category A will not be allowed to be owned nor traded (except for museums). A new provision establishes the requirement for record keeping of deactivated firearms in national registries. Any transfer (ie change of owner) of deactivated firearms should be registered Semi-automatic weapons: these weapons represent a high share of today's hunting and sport-shooting weapons and can be easily converted to automatic arms. However, even in the absence of conversion to category "A", certain semi-automatic firearms can be very dangerous when their capacity regarding the number of rounds is high. The proposal bans the semi-automatic weapons which are included in the current category "B7. Marking: the proposal introduces EU common rules on marking to avoid that markings are easily erased. It especially clarifies on which components the marking should be affixed (ensure coherence with UNFP marking requirements). It should also apply to imported firearms. A computerised data-filling system is extended to more than 20 years. Sales channel for firearms: given the recent terrorist attacks where in some cases firearms were illegally assembled with components legally bought via Internet, it would be an important risk not to regulate this sales channel. The proposal considers a stricter approach: not accepting selling of arms and components by means of distance communication (notably internet), except for dealers and brokers. Alarm, signalling, live-saving weapons: the existing Directive does not include alarm, signalling, live-saving weapons etc. It is proposed to define common criteria concerning "alarm weapons" in order to prevent their convertibility to real firearms. This should, of course, cover both alarm weapons manufactured in the EU and imported weapons. The risk of convertibility of alarm weapons and other types of blank firing weapons to real firearms is high and constitutes a key recommendation resulting from the Directive's evaluation and other study. Convertible alarm weapons imported from third countries can enter the EU territory unhindered due to lack of coherent/common rules. Therefore, technical specifications should be adopted through an implementing act. Exchange of information: the proposal introduces a system of exchange of information among Member States and requires dealers and brokers to be connected to central firearm registers. Licences: the proposal also introduces a five year time limit for the duration of a licence.

Proposal for a directive Recital 12 (12) Selling arrangements of firearms and their components by means of distance communication may pose a serious threat to security as they are more difficult to control than the conventional selling methods, especially as regards the on line verification of the legality of authorisations. It is therefore appropriate to limit the selling of arms and components by means of distance communication, notably internet, to dealers and brokers.

Amendment 89 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 14 (14) In order to improve the functioning of the information exchange between Member States, the Commission should assess the necessary elements of a system to support such exchange of information contained in the computerised data-filing systems in place in Member States. The Commission’s assessment may be accompanied, if appropriate, by a legislative proposal taking into account existing instruments regarding exchange of information. In addition to meeting the need to keep track of weapons held by private individuals or other bodies, in accordance with the law, such a system should enable weapons to be traced when they have been seized by, or handed over to, the authorities or forfeited to Member States, thus making it possible to ascertain what happens to weapons until such time as they are destroyed, further used, or again placed on the market.

Proposal for a directive Recital 12 (12) Selling arrangements of firearms and their components by means of distance communication may pose a serious threat to security as they are more difficult to control than the conventional selling methods, especially as regards the on line verification of the legality of authorisations. It is therefore appropriate to
Amendment 271 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 12 a (new) (12a) Activities of an authorised dealers and brokers, falling under the scope of this Directive, should include purchase, sale, importation, export, display, assembly, modification, conversion, maintenance, storage, transportation, shipping, distribution, delivery, exchange or hiring of any firearms and essential components of firearms. Dealers and brokers should sell, transfer or deliver firearm and essential components only to persons who hold an adequate authorisation or licence, should keep a record of their sales and should inform the competent authorities of the Member States of any sale, transfer or delivery.
Amendment 272 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 12 a (new) (12a) Additional security measures should be adopted in order to reduce the risks and consequences linked to the possession of firearms. In particular, a transitional period between the date of transaction and the date of delivery would contribute to avoid impulsive purchases of firearms by individuals subject to temporary mental disorder and allow for checking that all the conditions linked to the acquisition and possession of a firearm are fulfilled by the recipients. Furthermore, there should be an obligation to possess an insurance policy covering possible damages linked to the use of firearms.
Amendment 273 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 12 a (new) (12a) In order for one private individual to sell firearms to another private individual by means of distance communication, for example on the internet, the designated authority – e.g. a Member State police authority – must first carry out detailed checks when the application to sell and purchase firearms is being made. A system in which both parties to a sale can be identified by the designated authority and in which there is prior notification of both sale and purchase means that security can also be ensured for sales made using distance communication.
Amendment 274 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 12 a (new) 12a. The European Firearms Pass is, on the whole, satisfactory and should be regarded as the principal document needed by hunters and marksmen in possession of a firearm while travelling to another Member State. Member States should not make recognition and acceptance of the European Firearms Pass conditional upon payment of fees or charges.
Amendment 275 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 12 a (new) (12 a) Member States should not be able to make the issuance or renewal of a European firearms pass conditional upon any payment or charge and its acceptance conditional, directly or indirectly, upon the payment of any fee or charge.
Amendment 276 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 12 b (new) (12b) Brokers and dealers should refuse any transactions if they have reasonable reasons to suspect that the recipients do not fulfil the applicable conditions for acquisition of a firearm. In particular, the fact of not being likely to be a danger to themselves or others, to public order or to public safety, may be difficult to establish even when the recipients can demonstrate that they have been subject to medical checks in the past. Similarly, elements such as quantities uncommon for private use, unusual payment methods, or if the recipients appear unfamiliar with the use of the ammunition, can indicate that the transaction present an unacceptable risk and thereby justify a refusal. This provision should not be used to allow any discrimination as regards characteristics of the recipients such as their nationality, group of origin or religious beliefs.

It is therefore essential to address the problem of converted firearms being used in criminal offences, notably by including them in the scope of the Directive. Technical specifications for alarm and signal weapons as well as for salute and acoustic weapons should be adopted in order to ensure irreversibly that they cannot be converted into firearms.
Amendment 287 #
Proposal for a directive Recital 13 a (new) (13a) Objects, that have the physical appearance of a firearm ("replica"), but are manufactured in such a way that they cannot be converted to firing a shot or expelling a bullet or projectile by the action of a combusted propellant, should not be covered by this Directive.

Amendment 842 #
Proposal for a directive Article 1 – point 14 a (new) Directive 91/477/EEC Annex III (new) (14a) The following Annex is added: ‘Annex III (new) Technical specifications for the deactivation of firearms The deactivation operations to be performed in order to render firearms irreversibly inoperable are defined on the basis of three tables: Table I lists the different types of firearms, Table II describes the operations to be performed to render each essential component of firearms irreversibly inoperable, Table III sets out which deactivation operations are to be performed for the various types of firearm. TABLE I: List of types of firearms TYPES OF FIREARMS 1 Pistols (single shot, semi-automatic) 2 Revolvers (including cylinder-loading revolvers) 3 Single-shot long firearms (not break action) 4 Break action firearms (e.g. smoothbore, rifled, combination, falling/rolling block action, short and long firearms) 5 Repeating long firearms (smoothbore, rifled) 6 Semi-automatic long firearms (smoothbore, rifled) 7 (Full) automatic firearms, e.g. selected assault rifles, submachine guns, full automatic pistols (not crew-served machine guns) 8 Muzzle-loading firearms TABLE II: Specific operations per component COMPONENT PROCESS 1. BARREL 1.1. If the barrel is fixed to the frame (1), pin the barrel to action with a hardened steel pin (diameter > 50 % chamber, minimum 4,5 mm) through the chamber and frame. The pin must be welded (2). 1.2. If the barrel is free (not fixed), cut a longitudinal slot through the full length of the chamber wall (width > ½ calibre and maximum 8 mm) and securely weld a plug or a rod into the barrel from the start of the chamber (L ≥ 2/3rd barrel length). For smoothbore barrels, only the chamber requires permanently blocking with a plug of the same length as the chamber. 1.3. Within the first third of the barrel from the chamber, either drill holes (must have a minimum of 2/3rds of the diameter of the bore for smoothbore arms and the whole diameter of the bore for all other arms; one behind the other, 3 for short arms, 6 for long arms) or cut, after the chamber, a V slot (angle 60 ± 5°) opening locally the barrel or cut, after the chamber, a longitudinal slot (width 8-10 mm ± 0,5 mm, length ≥ 52 mm) at the same position as the holes, or cut a longitudinal slot (width 4-6 mm ± 0,5 mm) from the chamber to the muzzle, except 5 mm at the muzzle. 1.4. For barrels with a feed ramp, remove the feed ramp. 1.5. Prevent removal of the barrel from the frame by use of hardened steel pin or by welding. 1.6. Fix a rod in the barrel forcing cone (L>2/3rd barrel length). Weld into forcing cone. Pin the barrel (through forcing cone) to the frame and weld pin. Drill a hole 2/3rd bore diameter within the first third of the barrel from the forcing cone and weld the rod to the barrel through the drilled hole 2. BREECH BLOCK, 2.1. Remove or shorten firing pin. BOLT HEAD 2.2. Machine the bolt face with an angle of at least 45 degrees and on a surface larger than 50 % of the breech face. 2.3. Weld the firing pin hole. 3. CYLINDER 3.1. Remove all internal walls from cylinder for a minimum of 2/3rd of its length by machining a circular ring 50% case diameter. 3.2. Where possible, weld to prevent the removal of the cylinder from the frame or appropriate measures such as pinning that render the removal impossible. 4. SLIDE 4.1. Machine or remove more than 50 % of the breech face with an angle between 45 and 90 degrees. 4.2. Remove or shorten the firing pin. 4.3. Machine and weld the firing pin hole. 4.4. Machine away at least 2/3rd of the locking lugs in slide 4.5. Where applicable, machine the inside of the upper forward edge of the ejection port in the slide to an angle of 45 degrees. 5. FRAME (PISTOLS) 5.1. Remove feed ramp. 5.2. Machine away at least 2/3 of the slide rails on both sides of the frame. 5.3. Weld the slide stop or use appropriate measures if welding is not possible. 5.4. Prevent disassembly of polymer frame pistols by welding, bonding or use appropriate measures if welding or bonding is not possible. 6. AUTOMATIC 6.1. Destroy the piston and the gas system by cutting or welding. SYSTEM 6.2. Remove the breech block, replace it by a steel piece and weld it or reduce the breech block by 50 % minimum, weld it and cut off locking lugs from the bolt head. 6.3. Weld the trigger mechanism together and, if possible, with the frame. If welding within the frame is not possible: remove the firing mechanism and fill the empty space appropriately (e.g. by gluing in a fitting piece of filling with epoxy resin). 7. ACTION 7.1. Machine a cone of 60 degrees minimum (apex angle), in order to obtain a base diameter equal to 1 cm at least or the diameter of the breech face. 7.2. Remove the firing pin, enlarge the firing pin hole at a minimum diameter of 5 mm and weld the firing pin hole. 8. MAGAZINE (where 8.1. Weld the magazine with spots or use appropriate measures, applicable) depending on the type of arm and material to prevent removing the magazine. 8.2. If the magazine is missing, place spots of weld in the magazine location or fix a lock to permanently prevent the insertion of a magazine. 8.3. Drive hardened steel pin through magazine, chamber and frame. Secure by weld. 9. MUZZLE 9.1. Remove or weld the nipple(s), weld the hole(s). LOADING 10. SOUND 10.1. Prevent removal of the sound moderator from the barrel by MODERATOR use of hardened steel pin or weld if the sound moderator is part of the weapon. 10.2. Remove all the inner parts and their attachment points of the moderator so that only a tube remains. Drill two holes in the casing (5mm) in diameter near the point the sound moderator attaches to the barrel.
