EU-ATT Outreach Project II - Second Legal Workshop in Senegal
As part of the second phase of the EU-ATT Outreach Project (EU-ATT OP II), on July 23rd and 24th 2018, Expertise France organized a second legal workshop in Senegal as the country has finalised the drafts of its national law and decree for the internalisation of the ATT into its legislative and regulatory framework. As part of this workshop, national representatives along with experts from Senegal, Peru, Belgium and Burkina Faso carried out a last review of the texts. This national workshop is the second activity implemented by Expertise France and is part of the national roadmap of Senegal for the second phase of the EU Arms Trade Treaty Outreach Programme (ATT OP II). Discussions also addressed the national control list and a final draft should soon be ready for adoption.
The goal of 'EU ATT Outreach Project' is to support the early entry into force and effective implementation of the ATT. Upon request, the project supports a number of States in strengthening their arms transfer control 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. A second edition of the project was initiated on 29 May 2017 by Council Decision 2017/915 and it is co-implemented by BAFA and Expertise France. The EU ATT Outreach Project 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.
