Statement by Sweden (April 2015)

As a step forward, at this stage, we believe that developing information -­‐ sharing measures among interested states is a useful way to go. We have listened carefully to suggestions on this from the expert panel and to comments from States and believe that it would be worthwhile developing some of the measures proposed, such as establishing points of contact and exchanging information on procedures and best practices on weapons reviews. Sweden would be happy to work with other interested Parties to move forward on this and other measures to increase transparency in view of the 2015 Meeting of States Parties of the CCW.
