Hidden Hands and Cross-Purposes: Austria and the Irreconcilable Conflict between Neutrality and Market Laws

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  15 May 2012

Extract

Austria emerged in 1955 from a ten-year occupation administered by the four major powers of the successful anti-Third Reich coalition of World War II—France, the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States—as a united, independent state. The 15 May 1955 State Treaty signed by these countries and Austria spared Austria the fate of Cold War division suffered by Austria's neighbor to the north (in the ultimate East-West breakdown of Germany's parallel postwar quadripartite occupation). Paving the way for Austria's good fortune was a political quid pro quo agreed between Austrian leaders and their Soviet counterparts in Moscow the previous April. In the 15 April 1955 Moscow Memorandum, Austria consented to becoming a permanently neutral state modeled on Switzerland. This neutrality precluded a possible Austrian membership in NATO in exchange for a long-delayed Soviet assent to an end of Austria's occupation regime with a concomitant abandonment of the Soviet occupation zone and the withdrawal of all occupation troops. After the completion of this withdrawal, a fully sovereign Austria made good on its pledge with the passage on 26 October 1955 of a constitutional law declaring Austria to be “permanently neutral” and foreswearing all military alliances.

39 Convention Respecting the Rights and Duties of Neutral Powers and Persons in Case of War on Land. Article 7 of Hague Convention XIII from 1907 concerning neutrality at sea also stated that a “neutral Power is not bound to prevent the export or transit, for the use of either belligerent, of arms, ammunition, or, in general, of anything which could be of use to an army or fleet.” Yet the immediately following Article 8 demanded that a FIX “neutral Government is bound to employ the means at its disposal to prevent the fitting out or arming of any vessel within its jurisdiction which it has reason to believe is intended to cruise, or engage in hostile operations, against a Power with which that Government is at peace. It is also bound to display the same vigilance to prevent the departure from its jurisdiction of any vessel intended to cruise, or engage in hostile operations, which had been adapted entirely or partly within the said jurisdiction for use in war.”

For Business Week's coverage of Western technology transfer to the Communist Bloc with particular emphasis on Austria, see “Technology Transfer: A Policy Nightmare,” Business Week, no. 2784 (4 April 1983): 94–102. The Wall Street Journal dealt with technology transfer in a two-article series on 24–25 July 1984. In the second article focusing on Austria, one unnamed American trade investigator growled, “I don't like the Russians, but I hate the Austrians.” “I've had it up to my ears with them,” he added. The investigator's “I hate the Austrians” remark “touched off a furor in Austria and sparked demands by the Austrian government for an apology,” the Wall Street Journal reported on 30 July 1984. Richard McCormack, assistant secretary of state for economic and business affairs, telephoned an apology to Austrian ambassador Thomas Klestil for the “unprofessional” remark. McCormack qualified the comment as probably from a “low level” official and denied its accuracy for U.S.-Austrian relations. “We have a very good relationship with Austria,” McCormack said. Ambassador Klestil found the apology “quite satisfactory.” In speaking with the Wall Street Journal about their reporting, McCormack considered it unfair “to single out Austria.” McCormack said that “problems of leakage of advanced technology isn't restricted to Austria. It happens all over the world.” McCormack hailed the “extraordinary progress” made by the Americans in approaching the Austrians on this problem. All three of these Wall Street Journal articles (“Losing Battle: Keeping Technology Out of Soviet Hands Seems to be Impossible” from 24 July 1984; “Losing Battle: Austria Ignores Efforts by the U.S. to Curtail Technology Shipments” from 25 July 1984; and “U.S. Apologizes for Aide's Remark on Austrian Exports” from 30 July 1984) are available online at: Factiva, accessed 20 December 2006; available from http://factiva.com/.
