Anthony Minnaar

Firstly I would like to thank all those who so willingly co-operated in giving me information on all the different aspects of this report. In addition, I am grateful to those departments and agencies that provided me with permission to interview their officials and employees and also granted me access to secured areas under their supervision or jurisdiction. Furthermore, to those who were so patient over furnishing me with further explanations and clarifications, thank you for again giving up your valuable time to assist me or to at least point me in the right direction, so that I could bother someone else with my questions.

To the funders and the Institute for Security Studies, thank you for your financial support and for commissioning me to undertake this study.

This research was undertaken for the ISS Arms Management Programme and funded by the European Union and the governments of the Netherlands, Germany, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland.
