Introduction

The Export Control Joint Unit (ECJU) has amended the Export Control Order 2008 (“the 2008 Order”) and Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of 5 May 2009 setting up a community regime for the control of exports and the transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items (“the retained Dual-Use Regulation”).

There are changes to:

  • schedule 2 (military goods, software and technology) of the 2008 Order
