VAN DER STOEL: "Political detente should be complemented by military detente, another testcase for judging the follow-up of Helsinki. In this regard, I wish to emphasise the importance of the Vienna negotiations on mutual and balanced force reductions in central Europe. A positive outcome of those negotiations will enhance both European and global security. In the introduction to his annual report, the Secretary-General has rightly underlined the extreme dangers which the excessive arsenals of both conventional and nuclear weapons entail for the security of mankind. Indeed, Mr. President, the continuing arms race is one of the most serious failures of the international community." MR. OLSZOWSKI: "The principles of territorial integrity and inviolability of frontiers, signifying renunciation once and for all of all territorial claims which in the past gave rise to tensions, conflicts and wars, are of fundamental importance for the peaceful future of Europe. In the spirit of that Conference and in its course, an agreement has been reached between the Governments of the Polish People's Republic and the Federal Republic of Germany concerning further normalisation of mutual relations, based on the Treaty of 7 December 1970. The agreement has created foundations to further expand relations between the two states and is a contribution to strengthening detente in Europe."
