EU Aligns Dual-Use Export Controls With Multilateral Regimes

The European Commission on Sept. 15 updated the EU's dual-use export control list to align it with the multilateral Wassenaar Arrangement, Missile Technology Control Regime and Nuclear Supplier Group, the Directorate-General for Trade announced. The changes update controls for manufacturing equipment, high-performance computers and lasers, propulsion motors for submersible vehicles, technology for aircraft gas turbine engine development and more, the EC said. The changes also update technical definitions, notes and descriptions and make "editorial" revisions, the commission said. If the EC and European Parliament don't object, the regulation will enter into force in two months on the day after it's published.
