# Council Decision (CFSP) 2015/2309 of 10 December 2015 on the promotion of effective arms export controls, Division 4.2.1: Regional workshops

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

The project will take the form of up to six 2-day workshops, providing training in relevant areas of conventional arms export controls.
Participants in the workshop (up to 30) would include government, licensing and enforcement officials of the beneficiaries covered. Representatives from parliaments, and industry and civil society representatives may also be invited, as appropriate.
Training will be given by experts from Member States' national administrations, including former officials, representatives of countries that have aligned themselves with Common Position 2008/944/CFSP, representatives of the private sector and civil society.
The workshops may take place in a location to be determined by the High Representative in consultation with the Council Working Party on Conventional Arms Exports (COARM).
The regional workshops will be organised as follows:
(a) up to two workshops in South Eastern Europe;
(b) up to two workshops for the Eastern European and Caucasian countries of the European Neighbourhood Policy;
(c) up to two workshops for the North African Mediterranean countries of the European Neighbourhood Policy.
This regional breakdown of two workshops per region may not be achieved if circumstances are not propitious, for example if the number of participants is unexpectedly too low, if there is no serious offer to host by any beneficiary of the region, or if there is duplication with other activities of other outreach providers. In such a case of non-implementation in one or two regions, the number of workshops in the other region(s) could be increased accordingly within the global ceiling of six workshops.
