I did read it. The language within this scope is too vague and could be construed several ways.

I didn't have too read it too know that small arms and light weapons were attached to the treaty.
Weapons like the Saiga, AK 47, Mosin Nagant, Enfield's
Brazil: Taurus/Rossi.
Austria: Glock and Steyr. I am going to make an educated guess and say that at least 70% of those pistol imported are Glocks. Glocks are selling well! The rifles would be Steyrs.
Italy: A number of companies. The bulk would be from the Beretta family (which includes Benelli).
Germany: H&K, SIG & Walther [Thanks Jason]
Croatia: Springfield Armory is selling a lot of XD pistols!
Turkey: A lot of firearm manufactures. A good proportion of those shotguns would from Beretta owned companies.
Russia: Mostly Saiga rifles from Izshmash. I am surprised, I thought Russia would be exporting a lot more.
Argentina: Bersa pistols.
China: A few countries import Remington 870-clones (ironically the list includes H&R, a subsidiary of Remington). Who is importing rifles? It must only be either a government, defense contractor or military organization.
Romania: Soviet era rifles and handguns?
Japan: Weatherby, some Winchesters.
Philippines: Rock Island Armory and a few other companies.
Serbia: Zastava.
Czech Republic: The majority from CZ. Czechpoint is a smaller company that imports a variety of Czech-made firearms.
Belgium: FN Herstal.
Finland: Tikka / Sako (owned by Beretta).
UK: I am not sure who is importing handguns. I suspect itÂ’s a government-related transfer. There are a number of rifle manufactures. Accuracy International is one of the larger companies.
Spain: Star and Astra. Possibly includes imports from CVA and Traditions who make muzzleloaders. [Thanks Jon]
Ukraine: Soviet-era rifles?
Portugal: Collector guns? Some Browning-branded shotguns [Thanks Jon]
Bulgaria: Arsenal.
Poland: Collector guns like the Polish PPS-43C.
Israel: IWI pistols.
Switzerland: KRISS and a few other firms.
