press release
Tuesday March 22, 2005 14:15 by John Carroll - International Secretary - Young Fine Gael jjcarrol at tcd dot ie 51 Upper Mount Street, Dublin 2
Young Fine Gael (YFG) has had its call to oppose the immediate lifting of the Arms Embargo on China unless a wide number of conditions are meet , endorsed by the Youth of the European People’s Party (YEPP). This is another step forward in the campaign against the lifting of the Arms Embargo as YEPP represents the youth wings of over 2 million young people and over 50 political parties across Europe, including the French UMP, the German CDU, and Forza Italia. YFG International Secretary John Carroll speaking at the Congress of YEPP in Paris this weekend: “However despite the opposition of a huge number of forces across Europe and abroad to the lifting of the ban, it is becoming increasingly clear that a large number of European Union states are moving towards lifting this it. The manner in which this is being done gives grave cause for concern, as it is becoming increasingly apparent that minimal concessions are being sought from China in return for lifting this embargo, and the principle consideration of some EU states in this matter would appear to the be trade related, rather than any belief that China has mended her ways in any significant manner. The Arms Embargo is a hugely important political weapon against China and should not be lightly lifted” |

Nice one! YFG are right to oppose the lifting of the ban on arms sales to China, and furthermore they're right to call on EU governments to strengthen arms trade controls.
Though I did not hear much of a peep out of yiz regarding Shannon, the war, etc.
Well, not officially; that knob whose your justic(?) spokesman, the young fella who insisted on smoking in the Dail bar, whats his name again, anyways, I remember reading in the Irish Times when he was asked about the War and Shannon, he thought it was great!
He thought US troops are great, fighting for our freedom sand other such Tom De Lay soundbites. Well, I hope his smoking gives him a right oul' cough.
