The Congress of Deputies on 25 February voted unanimously to call on the government to prepare a parliamentary bill to prohibit the manufacture and export of anti-personnel mines and similar weapons. The vote was the outcome of a Campaign for Transparency in the Arms Trade, a coalition involving Amnesty International, Greenpeace, the Catalan human right group Intermon, and Médicos sin Fronteras, the Spanish counterpart of Médecins sans Frontières.
