industry activity as a whole. For the sake of the convention's viability, there is a need to devise a verification régime which prevents interference that is not justified by the aims of the inspection. In this regard, the concept of "managed access", in so far as it entails the right to protect legitimate interests, provides a practical basis. As regards various aspects of the convention now being negotiated, some delegations have attempted to press on us the concept of "CW-capable States".

There are only two types of State under the convention: those that possess chemical weapons and those that do not. Any additional category seems to be aimed more at supporting oligopolistic approaches rather than contributing to meeting the objectives of the convention.
