Our 50+ minute educational webinar explains the EU Export Control Law of the European Union
Export Controls are restrictions imposed by governments on the tangible and intangible movement of certain goods, software, and technology and on the provision of technical assistance related to controlled items and other restrictions on trade. Eu businesses exporting goods outside the EU may be subject to licensing requirements when dual-use goods, goods used both in civil and military applications, are exported.
The recast of the EU export control legislation is expected to enter into force in autumn 2021. EU businesses and those moving dual-use goods out of the EU or via Eu territory need to be ready for these controls and changes, dubbed a "System Upgrade". New controls in relation to cyber-surveillance and human rights abuses have been introduced, definitions of key terms amended.
There is a new "EU Watch List" and new general licenses are to come into force. It is imperative for any business in the EU (but also from the UK) to gain fundamental awareness of the key provisions of the new law and get practical steps of how to implement the new rules.
