                     Determining that the situation in Somalia, Eritrea’s influence in Somalia, as

           including the Arms and Ammunition Steering Committee, and notes with regret that
           these structures are not functioning with the required level of efficiency nor at all
           levels of government;
                5.    Expresses its disappointment that a weapons marking and registration
           process has not yet commenced, despite the Security Council’s appeal in its
           Presidential Statement of 22 May 2014 and urges the FGS to implement this process
           without further delay;
                 6.   Requests the SNA and AMISOM to document and register all military
           equipment captured as part of offensive operations or in the course of carrying out
           their mandates, including recording the type and serial number of the weapon and/or
           ammunition, photographing all items and relevant markings and facilitating
           inspection by the SEMG of all military items before their redistribution or
           destruction;
                 7.    Reiterates its request to the FGS, with the support of international
           partners to establish a joint verification team which would conduct routine
           inspections of government security forces’ stockpiles, inventory records and the
           supply chain of weapons, and requests that any such group provide its findings to
           the Committee, for the purposes of mitigating the diversion of arms and ammunition
           to entities outside of the security services of the FGS;
                 8.    Reiterates that weapons or military equipment sold or supplied solely for

           vessels engaged in commercial activity in Somali ports are granted an exemption to
           the arms embargo, expresses its willingness to take such a proposal forward, in close
           consultation with the FGS, and requests the FGS and SEMG to work together and
           formulate a proposal which should be communicated to the Security Council by
