Understanding Dual-Use regulation, or regulation controlling the export of commodities with a civilian or military end-use, can be complicated. The development of these rules and regulations continues. Regulators are trying to keep up with the technical developments in the market, geopolitical developments globally, and their own economic interests. European regulators meet with traders within the European Union periodically at the European Union (EU) Export Control Forum to discuss the topic at hand and share best practices and developments.
