# Council Decision (CFSP) 2019/2191 of 19 December 2019 in support of a global reporting mechanism on illicit conventional arms and their ammunition to reduce the risk of their diversion and illicit transfer (‘iTrace IV’), Division 4.1.4: Project results

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

The project will:
(a) encourage national authorities to grant greater access to iTrace field investigation teams, responding to repeated calls for iTrace teams to provide technical assistance and joint investigation capacity and equating to increased iTrace data gathering;
(b) provide concrete capacity assistance to national governments that, while suffering the impacts of conventional arms diversion, lack the tools to identify and report on diverted conventional arms; this is often a precursor to more effective domestic conventional arms management and, as such, supports implementation of the ATT, the ITI, the UN Programme of Action, and SDG 16.4.2 and PSSM programming and liaison with international law enforcement bodies, including Interpol (iARMS) and Europol.
(c) support enhanced dialogue, notably identifying key stakeholders for other Union-supported initiatives, for example EU Mission relations with host governments, and kick-starting initiatives, such as PSSM programming, for example Union-supported stockpile management projects.
