Australia Group
The Australia Group (AG) is an informal group of
countries committed to preventing the proliferation of chemical and biological
weapons. AG members are all major suppliers and/or trans-shippers of dual-use
chemicals, biological agents and/or production equipment which could be misused
in chemical and/or biological weapons programmes. The AG lists of dual-use
chemicals, biological agents and equipment are followed by all members in their
own national export licensing systems. The AG meets annually to discuss ways to
harmonise and improve further their national export controls to ensure that such
goods are properly controlled. The CWC National Authority is responsible for co-ordinating DTI policy
on the AG.
