RFE/RL Security Watch Vol. 2, No. 8, 5 March 2001
A DUAL POSITION ON 'DUAL' TECHNOLOGIES. President Vladimir Putin told a Russian Security Council session that Russia will impose tight controls over the export of dangerous technologies, implying that not all Russian agencies had done so effectively up to now, strana.ru reported on 23 February. But Council secretary Sergei Ivanov stressed that the most important aspect of a non-proliferation regime is not a ban but rather control over those items exported. Ivanov stressed, however, that Moscow seeks full cooperation with the U.S. and NATO countries "as it may face threats from proliferation in the future."
