The document describes a meeting held in Vienna to discuss the harmonization of the revised Trigger Lists for the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). The revised Trigger List incorporates clarifications and is intended to align with the existing Zangger list. The meeting addresses the need to coordinate with other groups, such as the dual-use working group, and suggests not finalizing the Trigger List before the next meeting of the dual-use working group in Brussels.

The Chair emphasizes that the current task is limited to aligning the NSG Trigger List with the Zangger list, with further changes to be considered later. The United States emphasizes the importance of considering recent Zangger clarifications and suggests that the future relationship between the two lists could involve INFCIRC/209 becoming a subset of the INFCIRC 254 list.

The participants discuss the order of items, headings, and corrections in the revised text. The Chair agrees to circulate a further revised text for comments by autumn.
