Export controls regarding dual-use goods

COMMUNITY MEASURE : Council Regulation 880/2002/EC amending Regulation 1334/2000/EC setting up a Community regime for the control of exports of dual-use items and technology. CONTENT : Annex IV to Regulation 1334/2000/EC constitutes an exception to the principle of the free movement within the Community of dual-use items. This exception arises from the political commitments made by the Member States in the context of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and the Wassenaar Arrangement and the sensitivity of the items concerned. Some of the items are less sensitive in terms of proliferation, control of their transfer within the Community under Regulation 1334/2000/EC does not seem justified. Therefore, Annex IV to Regulation should be amended as a consequence. ENTRY INTO FORCE : 03/06/2002.�
