  "text": "The project will take the form of up to eight two-day regional workshops, providing theoretical and practical training as well as an opportunity for dialogue to consolidate regional approaches in relevant areas of conventional arms export controls.\nThe participants in the workshops (up to 35) will include government officials of the beneficiary countries covered. Representatives from national parliaments, industry and civil society, among others, may also be invited, where appropriate.\nTraining will be conducted by experts from Member States’ national administrations (including former officials), representatives of countries that have aligned themselves with Common Position 2008/944/CFSP, and representatives of the private sector and civil society.\nThe workshops may take place in a beneficiary country or in another location to be determined by the High Representative, in consultation with the Council Working Party on Conventional Arms Exports (COARM).\nThe regional workshops will be organised as follows:\n(a) up to two workshops for the countries in South-Eastern Europe;\n(b) up to two workshops for the Eastern European and Caucasian countries of the European Neighbourhood Policy;\n(c) up to two workshops for the North African Mediterranean countries of the European Neighbourhood Policy; and\n(d) up to two workshops for Central Asia.\nIn order to foster cross-regional cooperation, partner countries from other regions will be invited to at least one of the workshops for each region.\nThis regional breakdown of two workshops per region may not be achieved if circumstances are not propitious (for example if the number of participants is unexpectedly too low, if there is no serious offer to host by any beneficiary country of the region, or if there is duplication with other activities of other outreach providers). In the event that one or more of the workshops is not implemented, the number of workshops for the other abovementioned region(s) could be increased accordingly, within the global ceiling of twelve workshops.",
