Division 1.3

This Decision provides for the continued maintenance and further enhancement of the publicly accessible iTrace Global Weapon Reporting System. The projects listed in Decision (CFSP) 2017/2283 will be reinforced by: 1) the increased frequency and duration of missions to gather data on illicit conventional arms supplies into conflict-affected regions; 2) tailored support packages provided to Member States comprising direct consultation, bespoke data and reports, a 24-hour help desk, and post-shipment verification tasking; and 3) the training and mentoring of national authorities in conflict‐affected States to trace illicit conventional arms found or seized on their territorial jurisdiction, to build counter-diversion capacity, including tracing capacities in the framework of the International Tracing Instrument (ITI), to enhance weapon management, including record keeping, and to boost the collection of iTrace data.
