Recognising the threats posed by unauthorised proliferation and use of Man-Portable Air Defence Systems (MANPADS), especially to civil aviation, peace-keeping, crisis management and anti-terrorist operations, Wassenaar Arrangement member states agreed in December 2003 that they should apply strict national controls on the export of MANPADS.
