Abstract
While globalization makes trade easier, it also makes illegal trafficking easier. As a global trade power, the EU has to against the limiting negative effects of liberalization, especially in the WMD domain. The question we must answer at the outset is: what are Weapons of Mass Destructions? Though the concept seems fuzzy, the WMD are, in actuality, are clearly defined. WMD include nuclear, biological and chemical weapons. While on the one hand, these weapons do not necessarily cause mass destruction, especially in the chemical domain; on the other, massive harm can be caused by others means (radiological weapons?). On the global scene, WMD control has become a paradigm. Though a majority of states have limited their arsenal, some small countries have continued to develop a proliferation program, and supra national countries are seeing an increase of such arms. What is the EU Strategy to deal with this threat? The European agreements on WMD are not recent; but they have never been so ambitious.
