text: In this connection , the Federal Government submitted proposals to the Geneva Conference on Disarmament a few months ago that are designed to contribute to a solution of the problem of verifying a comprehensive test ban and to bring a comprehensive test ban nearer to realization. Those proposals advocate a world-wide seismological system for monitoring nuclear explosions, and we are convinced that the development and progressive improvement of such a system, in line with advances in seismic technology, would resolve major outstanding issues connected with the recording of nuclear explosions. This applies in particular to the recording of low-yield nuclear tests and the prevention of attempts to conceal nuclear tests. Efforts to strengthen strategic stability and to take action to prevent war between West and East would be incomplete without parallel endeavours to create a more stable balance between conventional potentials in Europe. This purpose is served by the Vienna negotiations on mutual balanced force reductions in Central Europe and the Stockholm negotiations on confidence and security building measures. As regards the Stockholm negotiations we see good prospects for substantial results next year through agreement on specific measures applicable to all Europe. Such a result would, through greater openness , create greater confidence and, therefore, predictability. We are prepared, in connection with BG/13 A/C.l/40/PV.ll 52 (Mr. Lautenschlager, Federal Republic of Germany) measures that translate the existing ban on the use of force into specific. arrangements , to reaffirm solemnly our existing undertaking to refrain from the threat or use of force.
