Description[?]:
| Giorgia Ciriello, Whip of AR: "Mr Speaker, we are really sad about the recent changement in the military policy, changement that infringed a long work to set Istalia as an example to limit the prolifaction of chemical and biological weapons. Furthermore, we consider such reform as a form to undermine our military industries: why control this or that industry? Why control directly the production process when we can easily work with the privates? And, finally, our military industry risks to lose many costumers. Thank you" |
