Italy to Transfer Export Control Jurisdiction Between Agencies

Italy will transfer responsibilities for dual-use export license requests and export control policies from its Ministry of Economic Development to its Ministry of Foreign Affairs Munitions Licensing Unit (UAMA) after June 30, according to a March 9 post from the European Union Sanctions blog. Beginning July 1, export control responsibilities will “be divided between the ministries” or “transfer entirely to UAMA,” the post said.
