Italy Publishes National Dual-Use Export Control List

Italy on July 1 published a national export control list for goods that aren’t yet listed by the EU’s dual-use export control regulation but that the country is requiring to have a license for export, Italian trade consultant ZPC said in a client alert, according to an unofficial translation. The announcement follows similar moves by Spain, France and the Netherlands, ZPC said, adding that the lists are a way for European countries to coordinate on export restrictions that aren’t yet agreed to by all member states or at multilateral export control forums, such as the Wassenaar Arrangement. The European Commission began publishing a compilation of member states' national export control lists last year (see 2310270019).
