Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

(S) Auer undertook to investigate the issue of plans by Steyr-Mannlicher to export weapons technology to Iran through its Malaysian subsidiary, and legal options for Austria to stop such transfers. We stresed the importance of the issue to us, and noted that there should be means of stopping technology transfers through third countries, especially when the intent of the transfer is clearly to evade export control laws.
