La consegna si è svolta nel corso di un incontro tra una delegazione delle due associazioni e, in rappresentanza del Governo, la vice ministro agli Affari Esteri Patrizia Sentinelli e l’Ufficio del Consigliere Diplomatico del Presidente Prodi. Al governo hanno anche chiesto un impegno a livello europeo per rendere vincolante il Codice di condotta dell’Unione Europea sulle esportazioni di armi e a livello nazionale la tutela e la rigida applicazione della legge 185, un rafforzamento della legislazione riferita alla produzione e all’export di armi leggere e l’approvazione di una legge sulla intermediazione del commercio di armi.

L'associazione Libera annuncia che promuoverà una serie di inziative perchè l'Ue introduca un provvedimento di confisca dei beni alla criminalità organizzata con le stessa validità del mandato di arresto europeo. "Le sfide del futuro si delineano sul fronte europeo contro tutte le mafie, perchè è chiaro che i denari di provenienza illecita della mafia russa, delle mafie dell'ex Jugoslavia e della mafia siciliana si trovano anche al di fuori dei confini dei rispettivi Paesi" - ha affermato don Ciotti in un convegno a Palermo dove ha presentato i nuovi canali di commercializzazione dei prodotti agroalimentari provenienti da terre sottratte ai boss mafiosi e gestite da cooperative giovanili in Sicilia. In dieci anni sono stati confiscati dallo Stato 6.500 beni, oltre 2.500 sono stati destinati ad attività sociali e di volontariato.
