Division 1 Background and rationale for CFSP support

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

  1. 1.1This Decision builds on successive Council Decisions to combat the destabilising impact of the diversion and trafficking of conventional arms and their ammunition in conflict‐affected areas, in particular Decisions 2013/698/CFSP, (CFSP) 2015/1908, and (CFSP) 2017/2283 which established and enhanced the iTrace global reporting mechanism on conventional arms and their ammunition.
  2. 1.2The iTrace project, however, faces sustained calls by Member States to provide direct, face‐to‐face briefings to national arms export licensing authorities (including frequent visits to capitals) and to provide a greater range of resources bilaterally to Member State arms export control policy makers.
