COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2018/1922
of 10 October 2018
amending Council 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 COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to 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 (1), and in particular Article 15(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 requires dual-use items 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) |
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 establishes the common list of dual-use items that are subject to controls in the Union. Decisions on the items subject to controls are taken within the framework of the Australia Group (2), the Missile Technology Control Regime (3), the Nuclear Suppliers Group (4), the Wassenaar Arrangement (5) and the Chemical Weapons Convention. |
(3) |
The list of dual-use items set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 needs to be updated regularly so as to ensure full compliance with international security obligations, to guarantee transparency, and to maintain the competitiveness of economic operators. The changes to the control lists adopted by the international non-proliferation regimes and export control arrangements in 2017 now require another amendment of Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009. In order to facilitate references for export control authorities and economic operators, Annex I to that Regulation should be replaced. |
(4) |
Annexes IIa to IIf to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 establish Union General Export Authorisations. |
(5) |
Annex IIg to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 establishes a list of dual-use items that are to be excluded from the scope of national general export authorisations and Union General Export Authorisaitons. |
(6) |
Annex IV to Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 establishes authorisation requirements for certain intra-Community transfers. |
(7) |
The amendments to the list of dual-use items set out in Annex I necessitate consequential amendments to Annexes IIa to IIg and Annex IV for dual-use items which are also listed in Annexes IIa to IIg and Annex IV. |
(8) |
Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 empowers the Commission to update the list of dual-use items set out in Annex I as well as Annexes IIa to IIg and Annex IV by means of delegated acts, in conformity with the relevant obligations and commitments, and any modifications thereto, that Member States have accepted as members of the international non-proliferation regimes and export control arrangements, or by ratification of relevant international treaties. |
(9) |
Considering the importance of ensuring full compliance with international security obligations as soon as practically possible, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication. |
(10) |
Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 is amended as follows:
(1) |
Annex I is replaced by the text set out in Annex I to this Regulation; |
(2) |
Annexes IIa to IIg are replaced by the text set out in Annex II to this Regulation; |
(3) |
Annex IV is replaced by the text set out in Annex III to this Regulation. |
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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 Brussels, 10 October 2018.

Technical Notes:
1. |
The 'glass transition temperature (Tg)' for 1C008.a.2. thermoplastic materials, 1C008.a.4. materials and 1C008.f materials is determined using the method described in ISO 11357-2 (1999) or national equivalents |
2. |
The 'glass transition temperature (Tg)' for 1C008.a.2. thermosetting materials and 1C008.a.3. materials is determined using the 3-point bend method described in ASTM D 7028-07 or equivalent national standard. The test is to be performed using a dry test specimen which has attained a minimum of 90 % degree of cure as specified by ASTM E 2160-04 or equivalent national standard, and was cured using the combination of standard- and post-cure processes that yield the highest Tg. |
