1 1457662E Translated from Russian Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations No. 3001 /n The Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations presents its compliments to the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) and has the honour to submit herewith the Russian national report on the implementation of Security Council resolution 1540 (2004) for the period from 2007 to 2014. As a sponsor of the resolution, the Russian Federation works continuously on its implementation. We consider the preparation of this latest report to be yet another step towards the full implementation of the resolution at the national and international levels. This should have special resonance in the year of the resolution's tenth anniversary. At the same time, we have the honour to draw your attention to the fact that as early as 2007 the Russian Federation proposed replacing the term "biological weapons" in part 3 of the matrix to the more precise wording, "account for/secure/physically protect/export and import, and activities involving micro-organisms and other biological agents, toxins and materials that may be dual-use items". The Committee having thus far failed to take this proposal into account, we hereby propose that this critical adjustment should be made to the text of the matrix. The Permanent Mission of the Russian Federation to the United Nations takes this opportunity to convey to the Chair of the Security Council Committee established pursuant to resolution 1540 (2004) the renewed assurances of its highest consideration.
