Division 7.2 Impact assessment and implementation indicators

The impact of activities provided for by this Decision for the beneficiary countries should be assessed after the activities have been carried out. The impact assessment will be carried out by the High Representative, in cooperation with COARM and, as appropriate, with the Union delegations in the beneficiary countries, as well as with other relevant stakeholders.

For that purpose, the following implementation indicators will be used:

• whether relevant national regulations on arms transfer controls are in place and whether/to what extent they comply with Common Position 2008/944/CFSP (including the application of the assessment criteria, the implementation of the EU common military list and reporting);

• where available, information on enforcement cases;

• whether the beneficiary countries are able to report arms exports and/or imports (e.g. UN Register, ATT annual reporting, Wassenaar Arrangement, OSCE and reports to national parliaments);and

• whether the beneficiary country has aligned, or intends to officially align, with Common Position 2008/944/CFSP.

The individual assessment reports referred to in subsection 7.1 should refer to those implementation indicators as appropriate.
