Nuclear deal: NSG stuck on the 'testing' clause-India-The Times of India:
"A number of countries in the 'holdout pen' are asking for similar language from the NSG that the US is asking for bilaterally. The debate continues. A diplomat said, 'We're stuck on the testing clause''.
The transfers of ENR are not even mentioned in the waiver. This happened under severe Indian pressure, which said that since ENR was not in the NSG guidelines, it should not show up for India.
The concession by India is on the 'review' demand. The new draft asks NSG members to tell each other about their N-dealings with India. The NSG chair will also have to 'confer and consult' with India under the rubric of 'greater partnership' and discuss any changes in the guidelines with India before execution - this gives India a handle on the future."
