The waiver would provide some nations with the opportunity to do more business with India. France, Russia, Canada, Brazil and South Africa are in favour of an agreement. It is thought that there will be three meetings before an agreement is made, but at the end of the day, an agreement will be made, in the interests of business, and that it is just a question of how long till an agreement is made.

Making exemptions to international treaties on the basis of business interests is in flagrant disregard of the necessity of strong global standards in the process of non-proliferation.
