19 / 21 Export control and sanctions

Module 19

The easiest way to understand export control is to know the '4W' questions: What are we going to send (is it a listed item?)? For what reason (catch all)? Where do we want to send (embargoes)? To whom we are sending (sanctions)? In this module, you will learn how to answer these questions and to meet the respective legal requirements in your company. 

Lessons

The module consists of 7 lessons:

1. Freedom of trade vs export control; legal basis
2. EU Dual-Use Regulation: Regulation (EU) 2021/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2021 setting up a Union regime for the control of exports, brokering, technical assistance, transit and transfer of dual-use items (recast)
3. Military goods
4. Embargoes/ sanctions
5. Authorisation/ documents
6. Internal Compliance Programme (ICP)
