Division 3.1.2 Project description

The implementing agency will set up a pool of experts. Those experts will carry out the assistance activities devised for the beneficiary countries according to their areas of expertise and the needs identified by and with the beneficiary countries.

The implementing agency should ensure the largest possible geographical representation in the selection of experts. It should benefit from appropriate and available experts from other export control agencies in the Union. It should also encourage the participation of experts from countries that have recently successfully developed national arms transfer control systems, including those developed in connection with international assistance received.

The overall expertise gathered by the pool of experts should cover the full scope of a national arms transfer control system; in particular legal issues, licensing, customs/enforcement, awareness, prosecution/sanctions, reporting/transparency.
