Amendment to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 on a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items

This regulation updates the list of 'dual-use' items—goods, software, and technology that can be used for both civilian and military purposes. It ensures that EU export controls keep pace with technological changes to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and protect global security.

Companies exporting high-tech components, chemicals, or specialized software will face updated licensing requirements. These changes affect exporters and brokers across the EU to ensure sensitive technology does not reach unauthorized end-users.
