Australia’s submission of Confidence Building Measure “C” with respect to the Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group and the Centre for Disease Preparedness (ACDP) is as follows:
Land Division, Defence Science and Technology (DST) Group
The policy of the Defence Science and Technology Group is to publish results of general scientific value in open literature. Information that is more specialised and relevant particularly to defence is published in laboratory reports, which are unclassified and available to the public, unless they contain information that might prejudice the security of Australia or information that is “commercial-in-confidence”. Most results of the biological research will be either unclassified or “commercial-in-confidence”.
