text: The participants in the meeting want Europe to be rid of such weapons of mass destruction as chemical weapons. Their States are ready to study, together with other States involved, all possible ways and means conducive to the solution of this task, and to embark on relevant talks. The States represented at the meeting strongly favour a radical reduction of nuclear arsenals on European territory and the removal of chemical weapons from Europe, and draw attention to the danger to European pe2ce stemming from the concentration of many con­ ventional weapons on that continent. This danger will be much more serious if plans for a buildup of the latest types of such weapons in Western Europe are implemented. This would give new momentum to the arms race. They again advocate the reduction of armed forces and armaments i°n Central Europe, and consider it particularly necessary to make progress at the Vienna talks, which have been going on for a number of years. The participants in the meeting take the view that all prerequisites exist for an agreement to be elaborated at the Vienna talks within the shortest possible period, over one or two years at most, and that it is important to achieve this. For their part, they will help in every possible way. In this connection, the participants in the meeting believe that a practic:il step should be taken to reduce the armed forces and armaments of the Soviet Union and the United States in Central Europe on the basis of mutual example. This step could be moni­ tored by representatives of both sides. With this step completed, the levels of armed forces and armaments of the direct participants in the Vienna talks from both sides would be frozen until agreement
