# Council Decision 2010/179/CFSP of 11 March 2010 in support of SEESAC arms control activities in the Western Balkans, in the framework of the EU Strategy to combat the illicit accumulation and trafficking of SALW and their ammunition, Division 2.3.1: Development of national weapons registration and record-keeping systems

Extent: E+W+S+N.I.

The project will provide for the development or upgrade of the existing systems for weapons registration, licensing and record-keeping. The registration systems will include operations related to keeping track of firearms owned by an individual and/or legal entity and the amount of ammunition it is authorised to possess. The support for record-keeping will include development of software product/s that identify not only the weapons in civilian possession but also operations related to the management of weapons, ammunition and/or explosives in depots, approved warehouses or armouries, such as a local police station or central storage site. It will thus be possible to identify weapons, the users and the storage location of equipment, when not in use. The project activities will also provide for adequate technical infrastructure for the implementation of the weapons registration software.
The development and establishment of electronic system(s) for weapons registration and record-keeping will result in the implementation of the requirements for registration and record-keeping established under the UN Firearms Protocol and the ITI.
