amending Decision 2013/730/CFSP in support of SEESAC disarmament and arms control activities in South East Europe in the framework of the EU Strategy to Combat the Illicit Accumulation and Trafficking of SALW and their Ammunition
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 26(2) and 31(1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
(1)
Council Decision 2013/730/CFSP provides that the Union shall contribute to the South-Eastern and Eastern Europe Clearinghouse for the Control of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SEESAC) Project on Reducing the Threat of the Illicit Spread and Trafficking of Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) and their Ammunition in South East Europe.
(2)
The project supported by Decision 2013/730/CFSP aims, amongst other aspects, to improve the security provisions and stockpile management for the storage of conventional weapons and ammunition stockpiles (the ‘storage security component’).
(3)
In paragraph 3.1 of the Annex to Decision 2013/730/CFSP, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, the Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) are designated as beneficiaries of the storage security component, however Albania is not.
(4)
According to the implementing agency SEESAC, and with the agreement of the Albanian authorities, there is a need for Albania to benefit from the storage security component and there is available funding under Decision 2013/730/CFSP.
(5)
Decision 2013/730/CFSP should, therefore, be amended to include Albania as a beneficiary of the storage security component,
