The Irish and British governments were today handed the latest report on paramilitary activity in Northern Ireland.
The latest dossier prepared by the Independent Monitoring Commission is the first since the IRA declared an end to its armed struggle in July.
The body's seventh report also comes after the Provisionals decommissioned all remaining weapons under the scrutiny of General John de Chastelain's international disarmament body and two church witnesses.
London and Dublin will now study the IMC's latest assessment before publishing the findings within weeks.
The four-man Commission's new report has examined loyalist and republican paramilitary behaviour over six months from March to August.
Even though the decommissioning announcement came nearly a month later, unionists still resisting pressure to form a new power-sharing government with republicans in Belfast will want to scrutinise the IMC's assessment.
Peter Robinson, deputy leader of the Democratic Unionists, Northern Ireland's largest party, claimed that neither this report nor the next, could mask IRA crime.
The East Belfast MP said: "Continued focus on the January IMC report does not take account of the fact that so long as the IRA retains the £26.5 million they stole from the Northern Bank last December and the proceeds of numerous other armed robberies they were responsible for, then they are engaged in continuing criminal activity.
"Regardless of the outcome of any IMC report so long as such funds are in IRA possession then the only conclusion to be drawn is that republicans have not ceased criminal activity.
"Just as our attitude to decommissioning was clear cut, there can be no question of accepting anything less than the complete, total and unequivocal ending of all paramilitary and criminal activity.
"The requirement for all those who aspire to government must be a commitment to exclusively peaceful and democratic means."
