Amendment: Dual-use items list (Regulation 2021/821)

This procedure updates the list of 'dual-use items' – goods and technologies that can be used for both civilian and military purposes. The aim is to ensure the EU's export control system remains effective in preventing the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and other sensitive technologies.

This affects businesses involved in the trade of certain high-tech goods. It ensures that exports are monitored to prevent them from being used for military or weapons programmes, contributing to international security.
