|
— |
‘energetic materials’ means substances or mixtures that react chemically to release energy required for their intended application; ‘explosives’, ‘pyrotechnics’ and ‘propellants’ are subclasses of energetic materials, |
|
— |

4. INFORMATION PROVIDED BY MEMBER STATES IN CONFORMITY WITH ARTICLE 21 OF THE REGULATION
Article 21(2)(d) stipulates that Member States imposing an authorisation requirement for the transfer from their territory to another Member State of items not listed in Annex IV to the Regulation (Annex IV lists items which do not benefit from freedom of movement in the single market) must inform the Commission, which must in turn publish this information in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Only Germany and UK have notified the Commission of such measures. More specifically:
4.1. Germany
The following provisions of the Foreign Trade and Payments Act (Aussenwirtschaftsgesetz; hereafter: the AWG) and the Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung; hereafter: the AWV), adopted on 18 December 1986, are relevant:
Section 2(2) of the AWG
See above (1.2.d)
Section 7(2) of the AWV
Section 7(2) of the AWV may refer to the entire range of items listed in Annex I or to German national listed items (numbers 900+)
7(2): The transfer of goods specified in Part I, Section C, of the Export Contol List (Annex AL) shall require a licence if the transferor is aware that the final destination of the goods is outside the European Union. Sentence 1 does not apply if the transfer already requires a licence under Article 21 paragraph 1 sentence 1 of the Regulation (EC) No 1334/2000.
Section 7(3) of the AWV
7(3): The transfer of goods not specified in the Export Control List (Annex AL) shall require a licence if the final destination of the goods is outside the European Union and if the transferor has been informed by the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (Bundesamt für Wirtschaft und Ausfuhrkontrolle; BAFA) that the goods are or may be intended, in their entirety or in part, for a military end-use as defined by Section 5c, paragraph 1,sentence 2, and the purchasing country or country of destination is a country on Country List K or a country under embargo as defined by Article 4 paragraph 2 of the Regulation (EC) No 1334/2000. If the transferor is aware that the items, as defined by sentence 1 above, which he proposes to transfer and the final destination of which is outside the European Union, are intended for a military end-use, and the purchasing country or country of destination is a country of Country List K or a country under embargo as defined by Article 4 paragraph 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1334/2000, he must notify the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA); it will decide whether or not the transfer is subject to licensing. The goods may only be transferred after the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control approved the transfer or decided that an authorisation is not required.
(Country List K as modified by the 80th Regulation amending the Foreign Trade and Payments Ordinance (AWV) of 16 August 2007) contains the following countries: Cuba and Syria)
Article 7(4) of the AWV
7(4): The transfer of goods not specified in the Export Control List (Annex AL) shall require a licence if the final destination of the goods is outside the European Union and the transferor has been informed by the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control that the goods are or may be intended, in their entirety or in part, for the setting-up, operation, or incorporation into a plant for nuclear purposes as defined by Section 5d, paragraph 1 AWV, and if the purchasing country or country of destination is Algeria, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Libya, North Korea, Pakistan or Syria. If a transferor is aware that the items as defined by sentence 1 above, which he proposes to transfer and the final destination of which is outside the European Union, are intended for a purposes mentioned in sentence 1 above and the purchasing country or country of destination is Algeria, India, Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Libya, North Korea, Pakistan or Syria, he must notify the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA); it will decide whether or not the transfer is subject to licensing. The goods may only be transferred after the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA) approved the transfer or decided that an authorisation is not required.
4.2. United Kingdom
Article 21(2)(a) gives Member States the option to impose controls on the transfer of other dual-use items (i.e. other than those in Annex IV) from its territory to another Member State where, subject to certain provisions, at the time of transfer it is known that the final destination is outside the Community.
The UK has implemented that optional clause in its national legislation under Article 4(2)(a) and Article 7(2)(a) of the Export of Goods, Transfer of Technology and Provision of Technical Assistance (Control) Order 2003 (S.I. 2003/2764).
