Summary/Abstract: The possibility of producing a regional annual report on arms exports for South East Europe was discussed at EU outreach events in Serbia (December 2007) and Slovenia (May 2008). Under the auspices of SEESAC an agreement was reached to produce a regional report at a conference in Montenegro (June 2009). Several states in the region have already produced national reports that contain detailed information on their arms exports. These national reports should remain the primary source of information on each country’s arms exports. The production of a regional annual report on arms exports is intended to help to consolidate the gains in transparency that have already been made in the region, while also demonstrate an ability and willingness to uphold the commitments associated with the Council Common Position 2008/944/CFSP defining common rules governing control of exports of military technology and equipment.
