AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
This decision funds and supports a project using digital tools to make conventional ammunition stockpiles safer and better managed in countries neighbouring the EU. The project focuses on systems such as AIMS and SIMS, which help authorities track, monitor, and secure ammunition throughout its life cycle. The practical aim is to reduce the risk that state-held ammunition is lost, stolen, poorly stored, or diverted into illegal markets. It mainly affects defence and security authorities, international assistance bodies, and organisations involved in arms control and stockpile security.
