BAFA delivers Roadmap Activity III of the European Union Partner-2-Partner Export Control Programme for Arms-ATT (EUP2P ATT) in Peru
As part of the EUP2P ATT project, and as a conclusion to the roadmap for Peru, the third activity was conducted in Lima. The topic of legal drafting and licensing in line with the ATT as well as Physical Security and Stockpile Management (PSSM) were discussed. After an introduction by SUCAMEC with a presentation on national ATT implementation as far as small arms and light weapons are concerned, experts from Spain and Austria gave presentations to highlight the requirements under ATT and presented based on their national experience on the configuration of the Peruvian control system. The second day of the activity was dedicated to the topic of Physical Security and Stockpile Management with presentations on arms marking and traceability by a Peruvian expert.
The goal of the European Union Partner-to-Partner (EU P2P) Export Control Programme for Arms-ATT, formerly referred to as the EU ATT Outreach Project (EU ATT-OP), is to support the early entry into force and effective implementation of the ATT. Upon request, the project will support a number of States in strengthening their arms Transfer controls systems with a view to being able to implement the ATT. The project also aims to increase awareness and ownership of the ATT at national and regional levels and therein contribute to its universalisation. The EU P2P has three different components: 1) Tailored National Assistance Programmes; 2) Ad-hoc Activities; and 3) Regional Seminars. National assistance programmes are developed in close cooperation with partner countries. Key elements of national assistance programmes are: an initial needs assessment visit; inclusive roadmap development; and, practical support follow up activities. The project is implemented by BAFA and co-funded between the EU and the Government of the Germany.
