(b) International arms transfers involve, in addition to the physical movement of equipment into or from national territory, the transfer of title to and control over the equipment. Member States are invited to provide with their return a concise explanation of national criteria used to determine when an arms transfer becomes effective. (See paragraph 42 of the annex to document A/49/316.) (c) In the "Remarks" column Member States may wish to describe the item transferred by entering the designation, type, model or any other information considered relevant.
