IV.   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 its territory to another Member State of items not listed in Annex IV of the Regulation (Annex IV lists items which do not benefit of the freedom of circulation in the single market), should inform the Commission which in turn should publish this information in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Only Cyprus, France, Germany, Poland and UK have notified the Commission of such measures. More specifically,

1.   Cyprus

Ministerial order 600/2004 provides that an export licence may be required for intra-Community transfers of dual use goods other than those listed in Annex IV, when there is suspicion that the goods may be used for the production, installation and detection of weapons of mass destruction, in the case that the exporter knows that the final destination is outside the European Union.

2.   France

A licence is required for intra-Community transfers of dual-use items listed in Annex IV to the Regulation. Special formalities apply to the transfer of cryptographic items listed in Category 5, Part 2 of Annex I to the Regulation (see Article 18 of the Order of 13 December 2001 on the control of exports to third countries and the transfer to Member States of the European Community of dual-use items and technology).

3.   Germany

The following paragraphs of the Regulation ‘AWV’ (Außenwirtschaftsverordnung — Foreign Trade and Payment Regulation), adopted 18 December 1986, are relevant details of the law can be accessed via the internet at the following address): http://www.ausfuhrkontrolle.info/vorschriften/awv_auszug.htm)

is monitored by the import monitoring authority — the Internal Security Agency.

A natural or legal person may import dual-use items specified in the list referred to above upon written notification submitted to the import monitoring authority, declaring intended import of these items into the territory of the Republic of Poland.

These regulations were adopted for reasons of the State security.

5.   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 then those on 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 No 2764),as amended.

Under that Order the UK can control any goods in Annex I but not in Annex IV to the Regulation, or any goods controlled under Article 4(1), (2), (3) or (4) to the Regulation, as well as any goods controlled nationally under Schedule 2 to the Order (see details of goods under Article 5 above) when exported/transferred to another Member State if they know at the time of export/transfer that the final destination of the goods/ software or technology is outside the European Community and no processing or working is to be performed on those goods/software or technology in any Member State to which they are to be exported/transferred.
