(i) Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR)
Quote: "It is an informal political understanding among 35 member states that seek to limit the proliferation of missiles [ballistic and cruise alike] and missile technology. The regime was formed in 1987 by the G-7 industrialized countries. * * * he MTCR is not a treaty and does not impose any legally binding obligations on Partners (members)." en.wikipedia.org for "Missile Technology Control Regime."

US Department of State, May 20, 2002 ("Remarks to the Transshipment Enforcement Conference for Middle East States") https://2001-2009.state.gov/t/isn/rls/rm/10546.htm
("you will hear both about joining treaties and adhering to the guidelines of regimes. The difference is that multilateral treaties are open to all countries to join; but export control regimes tend to determine membership based on certain criteria. Although all countries may not be actual members of an export control regime, their adherence to the standards of the various regimes is an important step in the process of putting in place an effective export control system")
