§ Mr. CohenTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what representations he has made to his Russian counterpart about that country's level of compliance with its obligations under the Conventional Forces in Europe Treaty; and if he will make a statement. [96925]
§ Mr. VazWe attach great importance to compliance with the Conventional Armed Forces in Europe Treaty by all States party to it. Russian implementation of the Treaty is of major concern, and we have been pressing and will continue to press the Russians for action in areas where they are non-compliant. We have been taking this action both bilaterally and in multilateral forums, including in contacts in Vienna.
