At the end of the conflict in 1982, Argentine forces gave all minefield records available to them to the UK. They also provided essential information on the type and locations of mines and booby traps during initial mine-clearing by British forces. In 2001 the UK and Argentine Governments agreed to produce a joint feasibility study on Falkland Islands mine clearance. This study was carried out by Cranfield University and published in 2007, and aided the demining project undertaken by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office last year.
