Summary/Abstract: The possibility of producing a regional annual report on arms exports for South East Europe was discussed at the 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). All states in the region have already produced national reports that contain detailed information on their arms exports and with the support of SEESAC, thirty one (31) reports have been translated into English language and printed. 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 demonstrating 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.
