    Position of the European Parliament adopted at first reading on 13 September 2011 with a view to the adoption of Regulation (EU) No …/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual use items

    THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

    Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 207,

    Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

    After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

    Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),

    Whereas:

    (1)

    Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of 5 May 2009 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual use items (2) requires dual-use items (including software and technology) to be subject to effective control when they are exported from or transit through the Union, or are delivered to a third country as a result of brokering services provided by a broker resident or established in the Union.

    (2)

    In order to enable Member States and the European Union to comply with their international commitments, Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 establishes the common list of dual use items and technology referred to in Article 3 of that Regulation, which implements internationally agreed dual-use controls. These commitments were taken within the context of participation in the Australia Group, the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), the Wassenaar Arrangement and the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).

    (3)

    Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 provides for Annex I to be updated in conformity with the relevant obligations and commitments, and any modification thereof, that Member States have accepted as members of the international non-proliferation regimes and export control arrangements, or by ratification of relevant international treaties.

    (4)

    Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 should be amended in order to take account of changes agreed within the Australia Group, the Nuclear Suppliers Group, the Missile Technology Control Regime and the Wassenaar Arrangement, subsequent to the adoption of that Regulation.

    (5)

    In order to ease references for export control authorities and operators, an updated and consolidated version of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 should be published.

    (6)

    Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly,

    HAVE ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

    Article 1

    Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 shall be replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.

    Article 2

    This Regulation shall enter into force on the thirtieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

    This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

    Done at,

    For the European Parliament

    The President

    For the Council

    The President


    (1)  Position of the European Parliament of 13 September 2011.
