  "text": "The project will take the form of five two-day seminars that will focus on the state of play of the ATT entry into force process and relating implementation issues.\nThe seminars will enable countries that are beneficiaries of arms transfer control assistance activities to share views and experiences and to assess how such assistance relates to activities undertaken by their relevant regional organisation. They will also pay special attention to:\nexperiences and possibilities of south-south cooperation in the establishment and development of arms transfer control systems;\ncomplementarity of the ATT with other relevant UN instruments, in particular the UN Programme of Action to prevent, combat and eradicate the illicit trade in small arms and light weapons in all its aspects.\nSeminars will take place in the first eighteen months of implementation of the Council Decision and address the following regional organisations and their relevant member states:\nthe United Nations Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament for Asia and the Pacific (UNRCPD);\nthe United Nations Regional Centre for Peace and Disarmament in Africa (UNREC);\nthe United Nations Regional Centre for Peace, Disarmament and Development in Latin America and the Caribbean (UNLIREC),\nEconomic Community of West African States (ECOWAS),\nThe Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE).\nWhere possible, the seminars should preferably take place in a country that is beneficiary of a dedicated assistance programme. If this proves impossible, the location should be determined by the High Representative in consultation with COARM.\nParticipants in the regional seminars should include:\n(a) diplomatic and military/defence personnel from countries in the region, in particular authorities responsible for national policies regarding the ATT;\n(b) technical and law-enforcement personnel from countries in the region, in particular licensing authorities, customs, and law enforcement officials;\n(c) representatives from international and regional organisations, regionally-based NGOs, think tanks, national parliaments and local/regional industry;\n(d) national and international technical experts on arms transfer control matters, including Union experts and industry representatives.\nUp to 70 participants are expected to participate in each seminar.",
