United States and Russia have concluded negotiations on three annexes to the protocol of the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) that sets major cutbacks in their nuclear arsenals, the US State Department said.
"These Annexes contain the technical information and detailed procedures that will be used in implementing the New START Treaty verification regime," department spokesman Philip Crowley said in a statement.
The text of the annexes, which were exchanged in Moscow yesterday, "spell out the procedures for the conduct of inspection activities and the exchange of telemetric information," he added.
The annexes will now be submitted to each country's legislature for ratification, the spokesman said.
On April 8, Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed in Prague the US-Russia New START treaty, committing the former Cold War foes to major nuclear arms cuts.
