December 15, 1985	Memorandum by Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 'Geneva negotiations - New Soviet proposals' The document describes the propositions put forth by Soviet negotiators during the Geneva talks, and offers a preliminary analysis of the positive and the negative implications. The developments are not sufficient to expect an accord in the short term, but show a promising move away from "a dialogue of the deaf".
October 15, 1985	Memorandum by Ministry of Foreign Affairs, 'Geneva negotiations - New Soviet proposals. An assessment' A detailed evaluation of Soviet negotiation position vis-à-vis USA and Europe suggests that Moscow's willingness to agree on reductions and limitations does not meet Western needs.

Even though the NATO states acknowledge that the Soviet Union will not be able to maintain its current efforts due to its economic problems, 1980s are seen as posing risks to the current peace.
