ANARMA WITH THE FSA IN BRUSSELS ON AN INTENSE DAY OF MEETINGS AND CONTACTS

In a marathon round of meetings ANARMA and FSA maintained contacts with parliamentarians from the political groups CIUDADANOS, PSOE and PP. We attended the meeting of FACE together with other European organizations such as the pro-gun Czechs LEX, the pro-gun French of UNPACT, the association of European collectors FESAC (of which we are members) and others.

Finally the day ended with a meeting in representing the Spanish government in Brussels, in particular with the representative of the Ministry of Interior. As you can imagine we went running from one place to another to get to meetings that had been scheduled in previous weeks work exchanges with dozens of e-mails and documents.

That is, the meetings had worked before for them to be as productive and effective as possible. With CIUDADANOS the meeting was grossly distended, Javier Nart MEP surprised us with a great knowledge of the world of weapons. We were reviewing the documentation submitted clarifying and prioritizing the most important points. We agreed to coordinate and maintain a line of communication with him before the expected arrival of the proposal from the European Commission to one of its committees, the AFET. On the other hand he informed us that this issue are in contact and coordination with the "shadow rapporteur" or "rapporteur for his group" Dita Charanzová of the Czech Republic. This MEP has been shown so far as one of the most critical and hard against the proposal of the European Commission. We were offered yesterday a meeting with her and our Czech brothers LEX, but it was impossible because we were running from one place to another just in time.

With the PSOE, the meeting was positive and close, Sergio Gutierrez showed a lot of empathy with our issue and welcomed the information provided, as there were some aspects unknown. We should note that it is one of the committees which owns and is actively working on the amendments. Common space of cooperation was established and were to give specific information about the amendments we propose. We were told that at this time the fiercest discussion focuses as is logical in the ban on semiautomatic rifles, where the Commission is adamant.

We like the rest of MEPs will indicate that the whole proposal is non - negotiable for us, the ban guns, ban electronic commerce of weapons and components and that collectors should remain outside the directive as far . As always he dedicated a small space ICAE-CIPAE tandem, explaining its covert legislative actions. We asked for an example, we cite the abuse long distance shooters and gunsmiths suffer with the change of barrels of their rifles. He expressed surprise and concern.

With the PP an initially somewhat tense meeting, due to what they considered some of the mails received as aggressive and humiliating tone remained. This position was immediately tempered by our President Javier Arnaiz. As in other meetings, with the exception of Javier Nart, we had to start with the basics on the operation and classification of weapons being persecuted by the Commission, up to the issues of economic and social impact. There was commitment to work together and fight for the rights of the affected sectors.

The meeting with the representative of the Ministry of Interior of our government in Brussels, was touchdown and informative, and who had just landed in office. He was informed of the situation and the interim position paper of the Spanish government in favor of the proposal from the Commission he said. He was to give additional information about it and continue working for the rights of our constituents are taken into account.

Finally indicate that attended the meeting of the all - powerful FACE, the association of European hunters, with the European Commission. In it were some European associations with which we share FIREARMS UNITED militancy. The meeting was tense and angry many times, applause to ours and at some point attempt at the European Commission boos occurred. The nerves surfaced and the Commission was nervous in their responses to ours. We will expand information on it soon. At the end of it there were the typical small groups where contacts were made, strategies and new meetings were discussed.

We talked briefly with the President of FACE, Filippo Segato, with our friend Stephen Petroni president of FESAC, with Gilles Profit president of the French UNPACT and with David Karásek and Vladan Vrba of LEX.

In short, the day that started at 4:00 am and ended at 23:00 when we arrived at our homes, was just exhausting but very rewarding, because we are getting to hear our / your voice where decisions are made and strengthens our organization as a valid interlocutor with national institutions and European. Although as our president said in his letter a few days ago, without you simply would not be possible.

We hear the complaint of some MEPs who could not believe they had mailboxes emails with about between 1500-2000 mails. Just say that if we continue to grow and 2,000 instead of 20,000 arrived mails will we be able to what we propose. Thank you for your support.

Am interessantesten der letzte Satz: Viele Abgeordnete haben sich schon beschwert, weil sie in kurzer Zeit 1500-2000 Zuschriften in ihren Mail-Accounts hatten und das hat sie wohl ein bisserl geschockt. Gegenwind sind die EU-Typen scheinbar nicht gewöhnt...

The commission also wishes to move the so called B7 category of "semi-automatic firearms
for civilian use resembling automatic firearms" to category A. The Rapporteur recognizes that
this provision is neither comprehensible nor practically implementable in its current shape,
since it is does not distinguish between physical appearance and technical characteristics.
Instead of the mere looks of a weapon, technical criteria should be decisive, such as excitation
energy of the firearm, the calibre, possibility of attaching a large magazine; or other properties
that are not justified for good cause such as pistol grip, foldable stock, cooling systems et
cetera. The Rapporteur urges the Commission to reconsider its proposal on this point.
