Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty

HC Deb 24 April 1995 vol 258 cc376-7W

Mr. David Atkinson

To ask the Secretary. of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs whether Russia is meeting its obligations under the conventional forces in Europe treaty in the Caucasus; and if he will make a statement. [20475]

Mr. Douglas Hogg

The conventional armed forces in Europe treaty was signed in 1990 and establishes numerical limits for different types of military equipment in different regions of Europe. These limits are to be achieved by this November. We are working with our NATO allies and with Russia to ensure that this target is met.
