# Council Decision (CFSP) 2016/2356 of 19 December 2016 in support of SEESAC disarmament and arms control activities in South-East Europe in the framework of the EU Strategy to combat illicit accumulation and trafficking of SALW and their ammunition, Division 4: Beneficiaries

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

The direct beneficiaries of the project will be the national institutions responsible for SALW control in SEE. With regard to stockpile management, the ministries of interior and police services of the Republic of Albania, BiH, Kosovo, the Republic of Moldova, Montenegro, Serbia and FYROM will benefit from capacity development, improved infrastructure at storage sites and stockpile reduction support. These ministries will also be the direct beneficiaries of enhanced capabilities for SALW marking, tracing and record-keeping, and will reap the benefits of the regional firearms experts network. Finally, SALW commissions and other institutions responsible for the control of SALW in SEE will benefit from training and information-sharing as well as regional cooperation. In addition, key institutions tasked with SALW control in Belarus and Ukraine will benefit from limited and targeted knowledge transfer.
The proposed activities are fully in line with national priorities on SALW control and have been endorsed by the relevant national SALW control authorities, demonstrating their buy-in and commitment for the achievement of project results.
The general population of the countries in SEE and the Union, at risk from the widespread proliferation of SALW, will benefit indirectly from this project as the risk decreases.
