Dual Use Regulation - Current changes
At the end of the year, the annexes to the Dual Use Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2021/821) were adapted to current technical developments. The amendments are expected to come into force at the end of 2024/beginning of 2025. The EU Commission has already published a draft on this. The BAFA (Federal Office of Economics and Export Control) provides a comparison of the changes, which can be used to check whether there are any changes for your own group of goods (please note that there are some minor changes in the parameters of the technical equipment). Dual-use goods are goods with a dual purpose - i.e. goods that can be used for both civilian and military purposes or manufactured for the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. In terms of export control, these are not only goods, but also software and the transfer of knowledge that enables the production of these goods.

Goods that can be used for both civilian and military purposes have been subject to a licensing requirement since Sept. 9, 2021. The protection of human rights also now takes on a higher level of importance in export control. What do you need to know now?
