PRESS RELEASE Belgian Coalition ?Stop Uranium Weapons?
7 March 2007

The Belgian Defence Commission votes unamously for a ban on depleted uranium
(DU) munitions

Today the Belgian Defence Commission voted unamously for a ban on Belgian
territory the use of munitions containing depleted uranium

Recognizing the precautionary principle, the federal Members of Parliament agree
that the production, use, storage, sale, acquisition, provision and the
transport of these conventional weapon systems has to be forbidden.

If the plenary session of the parliament follows the decision of the Commission,
Belgium would be the first country in the world that forbids inert munitions and
armor that contains depleted uranium or any other industrial made uranium.

Two years after publication in Law Gazette (?Staatsblad?) the Law becomes in
force.
