EU Export Regulations for Dual Purpose Goods, August 2011

25.08.2011

The European Union, like most countries/jurisdictions, has a variety of regulations governing the export of certain products and technologies. Broadly speaking these regulations control:

  • Exports of dual-use goods (i.e. goods with both a military and civilian use);
  • Exports of military goods; and
  • Exports to countries that are subject to a UN/EU trade embargo.
This brief article focuses on dual-use controls.
