Relevant contents

In 2018, each State entity or agency authorized to acquire, possess and use conventional arms and ammunition were required to maintain its own register of the exact arms and ammunition under its control and in its custody. The record-keeping systems were largely paper based, even though some entities had digitalized aspects of their record-keeping system.

In August 2018, records had to be kept for 10 years, in line with the law, but the subsequent draft national law included a provision to extend the record-keeping period.

In 2018, the backing up of records (e.g. in paper or electronically) was not general standard-practice, and this was highlighted during the national baseline assessment as an area to be addressed.
