al on 22 February 1982 - Or. Engl.
Considering that
- the Convention, as evident in its title, is intended to control the acquisition of firearms by individuals,
- Article 5 paragraph 1 and Article 10 paragraph 1 make it clear that the Convention refers to the sale and transfer of firearms to persons, including legal entities,
- there is no need to apply the Convention to business transactions in which public agencies acquire firearms directly from foreign companies,
- it would indeed be unnecessary to apply the control mechanisms of the Convention to such business transactions,
the European Convention on the Control of the Acquisition and Possession of Firearms by Individuals is to be interpreted as not applicable to business transactions in which official agencies acquire firearms directly from foreign companies or in which the acquisition of firearms by companies serves to implement co-operation arrangements between States or official agencies.
If within a period of three months no contrary declaration has been made, consent shall be assumed to have been given by the contracting States.
