# 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 4.2.2: Benefit to EU arms control initiatives

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

iTrace field investigations provide a dynamic baseline of diverted conventional arms in conflict-affected states. This baseline provides a rolling measure of the efficacy of Common Position 2008/944/CFSP and of arms control agreements that Member States have committed to, inter alia, the ATT, the UN Programme of Action and the EU SALW Strategy. The thorough documentation of conflict arms also serves as a launch pad for formal conventional arms traces and for comprehensive investigations into conflict financing and arms supply networks.
