Division 2.2.4 Web-portal to enhance arms export controls in third countries

The project will consist of the development of a web-portal accessible to Member States and third countries’ officials to promote arms export controls in line with the principles and parameters of Common Position 2008/944/CFSP. The Portal will provide beneficiary states with permanent access to technical resources for implementing and enhancing their arms export controls and will facilitate the sharing of relevant information on other Union outreach activities foreseen by this Decision with officials of beneficiary countries that could not directly participate in assistance and outreach activities. It will also provide technical and detailed information on export controls systems in Member States and beneficiary countries to be used as supporting material during assistance activities under this Decision.

The web-portal will be also complemented by a range of activities to enhance the visibility of Union outreach and promote alignment with Common Position 2008/944/CFSP. Such activities will include the publication of regular newsletters and appropriate media campaign.
