 F-35-A Lightning II There is a discrepancy with the NLD’s CFE and VD (OSCE AEMI) reports as the reporting deadline for those close on 15/12. The NL also synchronize GEMI with AEMI for consistency purposes. They list 14 F-35A for 2020. The final transfer took place after the reporting deadline of the OSCE expired (after 15/12).

Link to ATT-report and request for guidance/explanatory notes categories

We would strongly advocate a link between the UNROCA and ATT-reporting, such that the data (which is identical) can be submitted to both ATT and UNROCA simultaneously, for example by including a check box indicating that a country wishes to do so. We would appreciate further guidance on category VII (and have submitted them via e-mail) and category II.
