Adapted Treaty on Conventional Armed Forces in Europe
Article Abstract:
The original Treaty on Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE Treaty) was ratified by 22 memnber nations of the NATO and Warsaw Pact on Nov 19, 1990. Since then, CFE Treaty partners have increased to 30 members and more than 70,000 pieces of equipment relating to the pact have been voluntarily destroyed. The CFE Treaty has therefore provided unprecedented transparency and predictability of military forces in Europe. The Adapted CFE Treaty, which was signed on Nov 19, 1999, updates the 1990 version to create a new, highly stable, transparent set of limitations on conventional forces to bring them in line with the contemporary European security environment.
