Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

setting up a Community regime for the control of exports of dual-use items and technology

(presented by the Commission)[COM(2006) 828 final][SEC(2006) 1696]

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1) CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

Grounds for and objectives of the proposal

The proposal for the amendment and recast of Council Regulation N° (EC) 1334/2000 on the control of exports of dual-use items and technology has the objectives of strengthening and improving the EU dual-use export control regime. This will enable the EU to meet standards set by the UN Security Council Resolution 1540 and to implement most of the recommendations noted by the General Affairs Council following the "peer reviews" of the implementation of the Regulation by the Member States in 2004 in conformity with the Thessaloniki Action Plan endorsed by the Heads of States and governments in June 2003. It also aims at introducing more clarity and at reducing regulatory burdens in the implementation of controls by EU exporters.

General context

The EC Regulation on export controls of dual-use items and technologies contributes to the Member States' implementation of their commitments taken in international export control regimes or as State parties to the non-proliferation treaties and arrangements. The reason is that dual-use items are civil items that can be used for military purposes and, in some cases, for the production or as the means of delivery of weapons of mass destruction (nuclear, biological, chemical or missiles).

Since 11 September 2001, the mandates of international export control regimes, which were initially created by like-minded States to prevent the illicit acquisition by States of weapons of mass destruction or of their means of delivery, have been extended to the prevention of the acquisition by non-State actors of dual-use items in order to prevent attacks against civilians and states. Consequently, the European Council adopted in June 2003 the Thessaloniki Action Plan, which contained several provisions recommending the strengthening of the EU export control regime and an enhanced and more visible role for the EU in international export control regimes. It included considerations on an enhanced role for the Commission in those fora and also recommended an EU strategy to support the entry of new EU Member States in those regimes.

Following this Action Plan, several proposals were made to the Council in the autumn of 2003. They addressed the role of the Commission in the international regimes and a method to enhance EU coordination in those fora, proposing a strategy for the membership of new EU Member States. A "peer review" of Member States' implementation of the Regulation was coordinated by the Commission and implemented by the Member States, with the support of a small task force comprising the Commission, the Council Secretariat and Finland. The Task Force recommended actions which were noted by the General Affairs and External Relations Council (GAERC) in December 2004. Those recommendations stressed, among other priorities, the need for a more pro-active approach of the EU against the acquisition by State and non State actors of dual-use items focussing on risks.

Existing provisions in the area of the proposal

The existing Regulation (EC) N° 1334/2000 was adopted following two decisions of the European Court of Justice in 1995 which affirmed the exclusive competences of the European Community in the area of external trade in dual-use items. The current proposal aims at amending that Regulation.

Consistency with the other policies and objectives of the Union

The proposal to amend the Regulation will enable the EU to implement relevant aspects of the EU Strategy against the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction and to contribute to other priorities of the EU such as the security of EU citizens, the prevention of biological, chemical or nuclear terrorist attacks, the support of EU defence-related industries in line with the Commission's communication on Defence made in 2003 and to EU and international security.

2) CONSULTATION OF INTERESTED PARTIES AND IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Consultation of interested parties

Consultation methods, main sectors targeted and general profile of respondents

The Commission launched a study via a consultancy firm to assess the views of exporters and other stakeholders in order to assess the impact of options to amend the Regulation.

In order to define a representative sample of stakeholders, a questionnaire was sent to about 450 potential dual-use exporters based in the EU including a large number of EU federations of industry. The consultation was also extended to any potential interested exporter as it was advertised on the DG TRADE website from 5 October 2005. The final sample of exporters who answered the questionnaire was representative of the distribution of suppliers and exporters of the 10 categories of dual-use items listed in Annex I of the Regulation. Based on the answers received, specific sub-samples of representative exporters were selected to be consulted on the various options to reform the EC Regulation. Because the options referred also to transit, transhipment and brokering controls, transporters and traders were also consulted.

Summary of responses and how they have been taken into account

The exporters were consulted on the final report of the impact assessment study and on the Commission services' assessment of the findings of the study. Opinions from member States and other stakeholders on the results of the study and the intended follow-up by the Commission services were collected from January until early July 2006 and are well reflected by this proposal.

Collection and use of expertise

Scientific/expertise domains concerned

The necessary expertise on dual-use was assured all along the processes of consulting and assessing the views of stakeholders. Expertise on dual-use items and on export control and security issues was a major criterion of selection in the call for tender.

Methodology used

The initial questionnaire aiming at identifying a representative sample of exporters has been prepared by DG TRADE and was included in the terms of reference of the call for tender. It was improved after consultation with a number of EU federations of industry. During the study, additional questionnaires on options tested were prepared by the consultancy firm and subject to Commission's endorsement before they were sent out to stakeholders (Member States' administrations and exporters).

Main organisations/experts consulted

EU federations of industry and individual exporters, Member States national competent authorities in particular national authorities competent to grant export authorisations and custom authorities.

Summary of advice received and used

The impact assessment study revealed a number of weaknesses in the options that DG TRADE had put for testing with the consensus of the different associated DGs. In some cases, DG TRADE knew that the options were weak but considered nevertheless that they had to be tested to confirm initial opinions shared with the Member States.

Some comments and suggestions made by industry could not be retained for a variety of reasons, and in particular as they would go beyond what is achievable in the context of the current revision of the Regulation. These include for example:

- The exemption of a multinational company from export controls of intangible transfers between its EU base and its foreign subsidiaries

- The change of the current system based on ex ante and case by case export control decisions granted to individual exporters for most of the Annex I items to third countries to a system of certified exporters through regular audits of their internal compliance programmes and intensive government to industry dialogue.

- The introduction of a pre-established maximum deadline for the process by national authorities of export authorisations applications.

- Introduction of an exemption for all small samples and small value shipments from export authorisations. However, the Commission will examine in 2007 the possibility to propose new Community export authorisations to facilitate certain exports to certain destinations based on industry's relevant input, and this could include the introduction of a de minimis rule in certain instances.

- The elimination or a radical simplification of the controls on non-listed items that Member States are enabled to conduct in addition to the items listed in the Regulation.

However, the Commission is sensitive to the concerns of industry, and it will continue its work in order to provide the least possible burdensome regulatory framework in order to enhance its international competitive position. For this reason, a review clause has been added to the proposal for amendment to the Regulation.

Means used to make the expert advice publicly available

The results of the study were made available on 23 February 2006 at the following URL address: http://ec.europa.eu/comm/trade/issues/sectoral/industry/dualuse/pr230206_en.htm

Impact assessment

As to the decision to clarify the definition of intangible transfers of technology, it is not clear if the current Article 2biii) covers the transmission of controlled dual-use technology via the access to intranet by third parties located outside the EU. This can have an impact on industry as currently there is no EU-wide definition and no harmonisation of the enforcement of controls on intangible technology. However such impact could be reduced by the adoption of EU guidelines for the implementation of controls of intangible transfers which would include a practical understanding of the scope of technologies in the public domain.

Different options to control transit and transhipment have been considered. Given the high volume of trade passing through the EU, the option to submit all transit or transhipment of dual-use items to systematic pre-authorisation requirements was excluded as impracticable and excessively burdensome. The option kept is to allow all Member States' competent national authorities to take possession of a dual-use item in transit or transhipped when there are reasonable indications (mainly from intelligence sources) that the item is or may be intended for illicit proliferation in a third country. This option already exists in some Member States as it enables them to implement the Proliferation Security Initiative. The impact of this option on those few Member States who used to impose systematic prior authorisation on transit of dual-use items should be minimum as the volume of such authorisations that they reported is below 10 per year.

Different options to sanction illicit brokering of dual-use items have been studied based on the definition that brokering is a service facilitating a transaction covering dual use items . They have taken into account that brokering controls would cover goods located outside the EU and hence submitted to third country's legislation. The study has revealed the extreme difficulty to enforce such controls. It was concluded that controls should only cover the two following cases:

- when the broker is aware of the illicit WMD end uses of the goods in third countries

- when the Member State where the broker is located has informed him of such risks .

Those two cases will trigger the obligation for the broker /supplier of intermediation services to apply for an authorisation if he aims at doing the transaction.

The explicit reference to the possibility for Member States to introduce electronic management of export applications and authorisations in recasted Article 10.4 will facilitate the work of national administrations and exporters.

Different options have been tested to harmonise the conditions of use of the different types of export authorisations that are available in conformity with the Regulation so as to create a level playing field and improve EU security.

Regarding the Community General Export Authorisation (CGEA) , the impact assessment study has led the Commission to opt for clarifying the meaning of "registration" and "reporting" which are currently defined in Annex II of the Regulation, and for limiting the conditions under which the CGEA can be denied (Recasted Article 6.1.a)). This lead to greater convergence of practices across the EU.

Regarding the harmonisation of the conditions of use of the National General Export Authorisations (NGEA), the impact assessment study has revealed that some Member States had no system of registration and therefore, by lacking information on users, could not fully ensure the enforcement of the Regulation. The option to amend the Regulation aims at filling this gap. The study has also highlighted that the exporters who could benefit from National General Export authorisations at national level[1] do enjoy a comparative advantage compared to other exporters. The Commission's proposal to create new Community General Export Authorisations has been widely supported by industry and favoured by Member States. The Commission will try to make those proposals in 2007 based on information to be supplied by exporters and discussions with Member States.

Regarding the option to harmonise the Member States' practices of granting global export authorisations by obliging the exporter to carry out an internal compliance programme (ICP ), the study has revealed that when implemented, ICPs are considered as positive factors. In fact, those ICPs significantly enhance the capacity of the exporters to comply with export control provisions. The Commission proposal is to encourage Member States to grant global export authorisations to companies having ICPs in place.

Options to increase coordination and the sharing of sensitive information among Member States national authorities on the national implementation of the "end use control" have been tested. The results have led the Commission to propose a middle position between the option tested during the impact assessment study (a systematic sharing of information between national customs authorities of all Member States' valid national requests) and the current situation, which is unsatisfactory from a trade and security point of view. The proposal aims at obliging Member States to share with other Member States and the Commission the general requirements that they impose on national exporters regarding the obligation of an export authorisation for non-listed items aimed at being exported to certain end users. In due course this should lead to greater convergence of national policies, and better information of and transparency for the exporting industry.

Amendments have been made to Article 7.2, Article 9 and Article 15 of the Regulation in order to:

- Align the EU legal framework on the informal but politically binding rules set in international export control regimes which regularly review the validity of denials;

- Ensure wider consultations between Member States in case of divergences of appreciation on some export application cases and to create a level playing-field within the EU;

- Enable the Commission to develop, in the future, an electronic secure system to share sensitive and possibly classified EU information.

The impact of those above mentioned proposals is expected to be positive both on trade and security issues.

The proposed recasted Article 11 establishes that amendments to the list of controlled items will be carried out using a comitology procedure, established in recasted Article 19 instead of requiring a formal Council Regulation. It will result in speedier update of the list of controlled items in accordance with the decisions adopted in the export control regimes.

The obligations regarding record keeping under Article 16 have been amended to take due account of demands from industry, supported by work carried out with Member States' experts, to improve the current situation by introducing proportionate and enforceable requirements depending on the transfers at stake.

The recast Article 21 provides for the imposition of criminal sanctions for at least serious infringements of the Regulation and implementing provisions will provide a deterrent for the violation of export controls regulations.

The impact of the creation of a recast Article 22 on international cooperation will:

- contribute to solving current situations such as those, among others, where exporters in third countries and in the EU are obliged to apply controls to transfers of dual-use items in the single market (concretely when third countries' laws impose re-export rules within the single market of dual-use items imported)

- allow for mutual recognition of export authorisations which has the potential to greatly facilitate joint industrial projects or research projects in particular with third countries members of international export control regimes or listed in the current CGEA.

- allow for the adoption of EU-wide specific export control rules that would be applicable to the technologies developed in the EU in the context of Community-financed international programmes involving third countries and would also cover access through intangible means to those technologies.

The impact of the replacement of the existing prior authorisation for transfers between Member States of items in current Annex IV (recast Article 25) by pre-notifications will facilitate transfers within the internal market without having a negative impact on security as Members States will retain the possibility of blocking such transfers for justified reasons.

Finally, a number of proposals are made in order to adopt in specific areas best practices and administrative measures whose impact has not been assessed but whose political justification can be found in developments in international export control regimes and in the recommendations adopted by the Council on the follow up to the "peer reviews".

3) Legal elements of the proposal

Summary of the proposed action

This proposal is a recasting of Council Regulation (EC) N°1334/2000 in line with the Interinstitutional Agreement on the recasting technique for legal acts. It incorporates in a single text both the substantive amendments it makes to Council Regulation (EC) N°1334/2000 and the unchanged provisions thereof. The proposal will replace and repeal this Regulation . This will help make Community legislation more accessible and transparent.

Among the proposed amendments to the Regulation, there are in particular five items where the changes proposed go beyond a technical revision and update of Regulation (EC) N°1334/2000. These are the following:

- a proposal for the introduction of a "comitology" procedure for the amendment of the annexes of the Regulation (lists controlled items and forms) and for the adoption of implementing measures;

- a replacement of the authorisation requirement for the transfer of items within the internal market which are listed in recasted Annex V with a "pre-notification" procedure destined to facilitate trade within the EU internal market without compromising security interests;

- the introduction of a provision according to which Member States must apply criminal sanctions at least for violations of the Regulation; it responds to the call in the Thessaloniki Action Plan for a common EU approach regarding the criminalisation of illegal dual use exports, and to the call by UNSC Resolution 1540 for the introduction of appropriate civil or criminal penalties for violations of such export control regulations. The current sanction regimes of most Member States include both administrative and criminal penalties. The new provision will rule out through a minimum harmonization on EU level that, at least for serious infringements, offenders can profit from purely administrative sanctions in some Member States;

- a recital clarifies that the Regulation provides for a comprehensive legal framework for the export of dual use items, technology and related services. In this context, legal security is essential for those exports of dual use items, technology or services subject to this Regulation and performed in conformity with its provisions and with those adopted for its implementation in compliance with this Regulation. The legal security is particularly important in respect to third countries' legislation that might consider the same exports as criminal offences;

- the introduction of an article providing for the conduct of negotiations with third countries destined to deal with issues such as re-export requirements, in particular when they aim at preventing the full use of the single market by the EU importers of those dual-use technologies of non EU origin and to adopt specific project-based export control rules when EC financed projects involved third countries;

The other main proposals for the recast and amendment of Regulation (EC) N°1334/2000 are the following:

- the introduction of controls on transit ;

- the introduction of controls of brokering and the sanctioning of illicit brokering of dual-use items linked to a weapons of mass destruction programme;

- the clarification and update of controls of intangible transfers of technology including the provision of technical assistance;

- the introduction of some limited adjustments regarding the application of national controls on items non-listed in the Regulation to improve their efficiency and transparency

- the harmonisation of the conditions of use of general authorisations

- the inclusion of a criterion to enhance the granting of global licences to exporters implementing internal compliance programmes

- the introduction of possibilities for wider consultation among concerned Member States prior to granting authorisations essentially similar to denied transactions

- the improvement of the exchange of denials and other sensitive information and the possible introduction in the future of an encrypted electronic system for exchanging information on denials as well as other classified information

- the obligation of registration of exporters and of suppliers of the most sensitive items within the Community to competent national authorities

- provision for the establishment by national authorities of indicative deadlines for the processing of applications for export authorisations, and of deadlines for the treatment of requests for information from licensing authorities concerning the application of national controls.

Some measures, such as adaptation of the model form in Annex III to comply with the United Nations Layout Key for trade documents, which has provided Governments, organisations and the business community with a basis for a standard and aligned design of documents used in trade and transport in order to facilitate the use of the licence, have been left for further regulatory action under the comitology procedure.

Legal basis

Article 133 of the EC Treaty.

Subsidiarity principle

The proposal falls under the exclusive competence of the Community. The subsidiarity principle therefore does not apply.

Proportionality principle

The proposal complies with the proportionality principle for the following reasons:

Only the amendments to the Regulation which are necessary and whose justification has been confirmed have been proposed. Other issues will be dealt with and are addressed through administrative action or best practices or actions at national level.

As stated above, the financial and administrative burden is reduced to the minimum as the new obligations have been limited to what can be reasonably enforced and some of the new measures will facilitate the management of export controls.

Choice of instruments

Proposed instrument: Regulation.

Other means would not be adequate, first because an amendment to the existing legal instrument (Council Regulation) can only be done through another Regulation. Secondly, the decisions of the European Court of Justice have made it clear that export controls of dual-use items are an exclusive Community competence. Other measures that are of a non-legal nature and which have met the criteria that they can bring an added value to the EU have been proposed in the Communication.

4) Budgetary implications

In the short term the proposals will not have significant financial consequences for the EU. The possible development and establishment of an EU secure system for sharing denials and other sensitive information would have a moderate financial cost, although a decision on whether or not such a system should be developed will be taken in agreement with Member States not before early 2007. An assessment of the costs of establishing such a system is provided in the annex..

5) ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Simplification

The proposal provides for simplification of legislation, and of the administrative procedures for public authorities (Community or national), and for private entities.

The use of the recasting technique allows the Community to combine in a single text both the substantive amendments proposed to the Council Regulation and the unchanged provisions thereof. Moreover, the original text of the Regulation has been improved and clarified in the interests of better regulation.

A number of proposals will simplify the work for the Community administrations (a comitology procedure for changes to the annexes and for the adoption of guidelines) and for private entities (adoption of best practices for the implementation of the Regulation, harmonisation of the conditions of use of export authorisations and their format, e-systems for the management of licence applications).

Repeal of existing legislation

The adoption of the proposal will lead to the repeal of existing legislation .

Recasting

The proposal involves recasting.

Annex

Costs of the possible establishment of a secure system for the exchange of information mentioned in the amended Article 15.4 of the proposal of Regulation

Introduction

The proposed new paragraph 4 of Article 15 of the recasted Regulation establishes the possibility of setting up a secure system for the exchange of information among Member States and as appropriate also the Commission. Such a system would be destined in particular to have access on-line to a database containing the denials of export authorisations (information currently shared via a CD-Rom), although other possible uses to facilitate the exchange of information provided for in the Regulation might also be considered.

The proposal at this stage only intends to provide a legal basis in case such a decision is taken; it does not prejudge any such future decision, which would have to be taken only after consideration of the parameters required for such a system and in agreement with the Member States.

Budget line concerned

20.02.01, within the operational part of the budget, and within the current amounts available.

Estimated costs

In case in the future a decision to go ahead with such a system was taken, the budget could be split into five parts detailed in the table below:

2007 | 2008 | 2009 | 2010 | Total |

Development | 200.000 | 50.000 | 0 | 0 | 250.000 |

Maintenance | 10.000 | 20.000 | 20.000 | 50.000 |

Infrastructure | 30.000 | 10.000 | 40.000 |

Network | 25.000 | 15.000 | 15.000 | 55.000 |

Support infra | 30.000 | 20.000 | 20.000 | 70.000 |

Support user | 40.000 | 30.000 | 30.000 | 100.000 |

Total | 200.000 | 185.000 | 85.000 | 95.000 | 565.000 |

The development would consist in refurbishing the current database using a server technology and including additional functions and possibilities. However, a significant part of the current database (e.g. the format) would be reused.

As regards the network costs, in principle they should be very limited as the current "Testa secure" would be used. Such costs do not include the connexion costs incurred by Member States. Should a separate ad-hoc network be considered, it would require a specific budget, but this is not the option under consideration.

The user support budget would consist of setting up a helpdesk, which could be shared with other existing projects.

Proposal for a

COUNCIL REGULATION

setting up a Community regime for the control of exports of dual-use items and technology

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 133 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas:

ò new

1. Council Regulation (EC) No 1334/2000 of 22 June 2000 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports of dual-use items and technology[2] has been amended substantially, and it should be recast in the interests of clarity.

1334/2000 recital 1 (adapted)

(2) Dual-use items (including software and technology) should be subject to effective control when they are exported from the European Community.

1334/2000 recital 2

(3) An effective common system of export controls on dual-use items is necessary to ensure that the international commitments and responsiabilities of the Member States, especially regarding non-proliferation, and of the European Union, are complied with.

1334/2000 recital 3

(4) The existence of a common control system and harmonised policies for enforcement and monitoring in all Member States is a prerequisite for establishing the free movement of dual-use items inside the Community.

1334/2000 recital 4 (adapted)

(4) The current regime of export controls on dual-use items established by Regulation (EC) No 3381/94[3], and Decision 94/942/CFSP[4], needs to be further harmonised in order to cntinue to guarantee the effective application of controls.

1334/2000 recital 6

ð new

(5) The responsibility for deciding on applications for ð individual, global or general national ï export authorisations ð or for authorisations for the provision of intermediary services or for the transfer supervision of Annex V dual-use items within the single market ï lies with national authorities. National provisions and decisions affecting exports of dual-use items must be taken in the framework of the common commercial policy, and in particular Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2603/69 of 20 December 1969 establishing common rules for exports[5].

1334/2000 recital 7 (adapted)

ð new

(6) Decisions to update the common lists of dual-use items subject to export controls must be in full conformity with the obligations and commitments that each Member State has ð States have ï accepted as a member ð members ï of the relevant international non-proliferation regimes and export control arrangements, or by ratification of relevant international treaties.

1334/2000 recital 5 (adapted)

ð new

(7) Common lists of dual-use items, destinations and guidelines are essential elements for an effective EU export control regime system; such lists have been established by Decision 94/942/CFSP and subsequent amendments and should be incorporated into this Regulation.ð and it is appropriate that the decisions agreed by Member States in international export control regimes are quickly reflected into amendments to the Annex I of the Regulation listing the items under control in the EU, and that procedures are established for the adoption of measures by the Commission for the implementation of the Regulation in consultation with a Committee composed of Member States' representatives. ï

1334/2000 recital 8

(8) Transmission of software and technology by means of electronic media, fax or telephone to destinations outside the Community should also be controlled.

1334/2000 recital 9

(9) Particular attention needs to be paid to issues of reexport and end-use.

1334/2000 recital 10

(10) On 22 September 1998 representatives of the Member States and the European Commission signed Protocols additional to the respective safeguards agreements between the Member States, the European Atomic Energy Community and the International Atomic Energy Agency, which, among other measures, oblige the Member States to provide information on transfers of specified equipment and non-nuclear material.

1334/2000 recital 11

(11) The Community has adopted a body of customs rules, contained in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code[6] and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93[7] implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 which lay down, among other things, provisions relating to the export and reexport of goods. Nothing in this Regulation constrains any powers under and pursuant to the Community Customs Code and its implementing provisions.

1334/2000 recital 12

ð new

(12) Pursuant to and within the limits of Article 30 of the Treaty and pending a greater degree of harmonisation, Member States will retain the right to carry out controls on transfers of certain dual-use items within the European Community in order to safeguard public policy or public security. ð These intra-community controls of items listed in Annex V will consist in pre-notifications of shipments made within the EU in order to ensure both greater consistency with the provisions of the Euratom Treaty and to ease intra-Community dual-use trade. Measures adopted by Member States to implement these new provisions shall not involve the application of internal frontier controls within the Community, but solely provisions aimed for instance at ensuring traceability of items circulating in the single market and applied as part of control procedures applied in a non-discriminatory fashion throughout the territory of the Community. ï Where these controls are linked to the effectiveness of controls on exports from the Community, they will be periodically reviewed by the Council.

1334/2000 recital 13

(13) In order to ensure that this Regulation is properly applied, each Member State should take measures giving the competent authorities appropriate powers.

ò new

(14) The UN Security Council Resolution 1540, adopted 28/04/2004, calls in particular for adequate prevention of illicit export, re-export, transit, transhipment and brokering of dual-use items. Accordingly, a possibility for Member States authorities to intercept and take possession of a dual-use item in transit when it may or is intended for proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or of their means of delivery in a third country should be explicitly established, and controls should be introduced on provision of intermediation services when the intermediary has been informed by competent national authorities or is aware that it might lead to production or delivery of illegal weapons of mass destruction in a third country.

(15) It is desirable to achieve a uniform and consistent application of controls throughout the EU in order to avoid undermining EU and international security and unfair competition among EU exporters. With this objective, it is decided, in line with the recommendations of the Thessaloniki Action Plan adopted by Heads of States and Governments in June 2003 and complemented by the WMD strategy:

- to enlarge the circumstances when the Member States can enter into consultation with other Member States prior to granting an export authorisation which could, for example, threaten another Member State's essential security interests

- to ensure greater convergence of the conditions of implementation of the national controls on dual-use items not listed by the Regulation

- to complement the definition of intangible transfers of technology to include making available controlled technology to persons located outside the EU and including technical assistance services provided via electronic means; and to adjust, by amendments to Article16, the record keeping requirements for intangible transfers of technology to the actual possibilities of exporters

- to harmonise the conditions of use of the different types of authorisations that can be granted under the Regulation

- to further align the modalities of exchange of sensitive information among Member States with some of the existing practices of the international export control regimes, in particular by introducing in the Regulation the concept of denials in effect or of valid denials, and to provide for the possibility of establishing a secure electronic system for sharing information among the Member States.

(16) As EU exporters operating in different countries may be subject to different export control standards, it is provided that the Commission can negotiate with third countries so as to obtain in particular the recognition of the EU regime and its specificities such as the single market for dual-use items and the common external trade policy which applies to dual-use items.

1334/2000 recital 14 (adapted)

ð new

(17) Each Member State should determine the ð effective, proportionate and dissuasive ï penalties applicable in the event of breach of the provisions of this Regulation.

ò new

(18) In order to strengthen the EU regime on the export of dual-use items and related services and pursuant to UN Security Council Resolution 1540, it is necessary to provide for the imposition of criminal penalties in particular for serious infringements of the Regulation and of the regulations adopted by Member States for its implementation. In addition, the European Council on 17/18 June 2004 adopted a declaration on criminal sanctions, recalling the commitment expressed by Member States in the European Strategy against the proliferation of WMD adopted on 12 December 2003, to adopt common policies related to criminal sanctions for illegal export, brokering and smuggling of WMD-related material.

(19) The Regulation provides for a comprehensive framework regulating the export of dual-use items, technology or services from the European Union. In this regard, legal security is essential for exporters of items or services subject to this Regulation, who have acted in conformity with its provisions and with those adopted for its implementation in compliance with this Regulation, in respect to differing third country legislation that might consider such exports as criminal offences.

(20) National competent authorities in charge of the implementation of the Regulation must know the exporters intending to export dual-use items or the suppliers intending to transfer items listed in the Annex V to the Regulation within the community so as to efficiently enforce its provisions.

1334/2000 recital 15 (adapted)

Processes specified in Column 1 of the Table are defined as follows:

a. Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) is an overlay coating or surface modification coating process wherein a metal, alloy, «composite», dielectric or ceramic is deposited upon a heated substrate. Gaseous reactants are decomposed or combined in the vicinity of a substrate resulting in the deposition of the desired elemental, alloy or compound material on the substrate. Energy for this decomposition or chemical reaction process may be provided by the heat of the substrate, a glow discharge plasma, or «laser» irradiation.

N.B. 1 CVD includes the following processes: directed gas flow out-of-pack deposition, pulsating CVD, controlled nucleation thermal deposition (CNTD), plasma enhanced or plasma assisted CVD processes.

N.B. 2 Pack denotes a substrate immersed in a powder mixture.

N.B. 3 The gaseous reactants used in the out-of-pack process are produced using the same basic reactions and parameters as the pack cementation process, except that the substrate to be coated is not in contact with the powder mixture.

b. Thermal Evaporation-Physical Vapour Deposition (TE-PVD) is an overlay coating process conducted in a vacuum with a pressure less than 0,1 Pa wherein a source of thermal energy is used to vaporize the coating material. This process results in the condensation, or deposition, of the evaporated species onto appropriately positioned substrates.

The addition of gases to the vacuum chamber during the coating process to synthesize compound coatings is an ordinary modification of the process.

The use of ion or electron beams, or plasma, to activate or assist the coating's deposition is also a common modification in this technique. The use of monitors to provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and thickness of coatings can be a feature of these processes.

Specific TE-PVD processes are as follows:

1. Electron Beam PVD uses an electron beam to heat and evaporate the material which forms the coating;

2. Ion Assisted Resistive Heating PVD employs electrically resistive heating sources in combination with impinging ion beam(s) to produce a controlled and uniform flux of evaporated coating species;

3.«Laser» Vaporization uses either pulsed or continuous wave «laser» beams to vaporize the material which forms the coating;

4. Cathodic Arc Deposition employs a consumable cathode of the material which forms the coating and has an arc discharge established on the surface by a momentary contact of a ground trigger. Controlled motion of arcing erodes the cathode surface creating a highly ionized plasma. The anode can be either a cone attached to the periphery of the cathode, through an insulator, or the chamber. Substrate biasing is used for non line-of-sight deposition.

N.B. This definition does not include random cathodic arc deposition with non-biased substrates.

5. Ion Plating is a special modification of a general TE-PVD process in which a plasma or an ion source is used to ionize the species to be deposited, and a negative bias is applied to the substrate in order to facilitate the extraction of the species from the plasma. The introduction of reactive species, evaporation of solids within the process chamber, and the use of monitors to provide in-process measurement of optical characteristics and thicknesses of coatings are ordinary modifications of the process.

c. Pack Cementation is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a substrate is immersed in a powder mixture (a pack), that consists of:

1. The metallic powders that are to be deposited (usually aluminium, chromium, silicon or combinations thereof);

2. An activator (normally a halide salt); and

3. An inert powder, most frequently alumina.

The substrate and powder mixture is contained within a retort which is heated to between 1030 K (757 °C) and 1375 K (1,102 °C) for sufficient time to deposit the coating.

d. Plasma Spraying is an overlay coating process wherein a gun (spray torch) which produces and controls a plasma accepts powder or wire coating materials, melts them and propels them towards a substrate, whereon an integrally bonded coating is formed. Plasma spraying constitutes either low pressure plasma spraying or high velocity plasma spraying.

N.B. 1 Low pressure means less than ambient atmospheric pressure.

N.B. 2 High velocity refers to nozzle-exit gas velocity exceeding 750 m/s calculated at 293 K (20 °C) at 0,1 MPa.

e. Slurry Deposition is a surface modification coating or overlay coating process wherein a metallic or ceramic powder with an organic binder is suspended in a liquid and is applied to a substrate by either spraying, dipping or painting, subsequent air or oven drying, and heat treatment to obtain the desired coating.

f. Sputter Deposition is an overlay coating process based on a momentum transfer phenomenon, wherein positive ions are accelerated by an electric field towards the surface of a target (coating material). The kinetic energy of the impacting ions is sufficient to cause target surface atoms to be released and deposited on an appropriately positioned substrate.

N.B. 1 The Table refers only to triode, magnetron or reactive sputter deposition which is used to increase adhesion of the coating and rate of deposition and to radio frequency (RF) augmented sputter deposition used to permit vaporisation of non-metallic coating materials.

N.B. 2 Low-energy ion beams (less than 5 keV) can be used to activate the deposition.

g. Ion Implantation is a surface modification coating process in which the element to be alloyed is ionised, accelerated through a potential gradient and implanted into the surface region of the substrate. This includes processes in which ion implantation is performed simultaneously with electron beam physical vapour deposition or sputter deposition.

Technical Note:

In 3A232 the detonators of concern all utilise a small electrical conductor (bridge, bridge wire or foil) that explosively vapourises when a fast, high-current electrical pulse is passed through it. In nonslapper types, the exploding conductor starts a chemical detonation in a contacting high-explosive material such as PETN (Pentaerythritoltetranitrate). In slapper detonators, the explosive vapourisation of the electrical conductor drives a flyer or slapper across a gap and the impact of the slapper on an explosive starts a chemical detonation. The slapper in some designs is driven by a magnetic force. The term exploding foil detonator may refer to either an EB or a slapper-type detonator. Also, the word initiator is sometimes used in place of the word detonator.

Technical note on «Composite Theoretical Performance» («CTP»)

Abbreviations used in this Technical Note

«CE» | «computing element» (typically an arithmetic logical unit) |

FP | floating point |

XP | fixed point |

t | execution time |

XOR | exclusive OR |

CPU | central processing unit |

TP | theoretical performance (of a single «CE») |

«CTP» | «composite theoretical performance» (multiple «CEs») |

R | effective calculating rate |

WL | word length |

L | word length adjustment |

- | multiply |

Execution time «t» is expressed in microseconds, TP and «CTP» are expressed in millions of theoretical operations per second (Mtops) and WL is expressed in bits.

Outline of «CTP» calculation method

«CTP» is a measure of computational performance given in Mtops. In calculating the «CTP» of an aggregation of «CEs» the following three steps are required:

1. Calculate the effective calculating rate R for each «CE»;

2. Apply the word length adjustment (L) to the effective calculating rate (R), resulting in a Theoretical Performance (TP) for each «CE»;

3. If there is more than one «CE», combine the TPs, resulting in a «CTP» for the aggregation.

Details for these steps are given in the following sections.

Note 1: For aggregations of multiple «CEs» which have both shared and unshared memory subsystems, the calculation of «CTP» is completed hierarchically, in two steps: first, aggregate the groups of «CEs» sharing memory; second, calculate the «CTP» of the groups using the calculation method for multiple «CEs» not sharing memory.

Note 2:«CEs» that are limited to input/output and peripheral functions (e.g., disk drive, communication and video display controllers) are not aggregated into the «CTP» calculation.

TECHNICAL NOTE ON «CTP»

The following table shows the method of calculating the Effective Calculating Rate R for each «CE»:

Step 1: The effective calculating rate R

For «CEs» Implementing: Note: Every «CE» must be evaluated independently. | Effective calculating Rate, R |

XP only | (Rxp) = (1)/(3 × (txp add)) if no add is implemented use: (Rxp) = (1)/(txp mult) If neither add nor multiply is implemented use the fastest available arithmetic operation as follows: (Rxp) = (1)/(3 × (txp)) See Notes X & Z |

FP only | Rfp = max (1)/(tfp add), (1)/(tfp mult) See Notes X & Y |

Both FP and XP (R) | Calculate both Rxp, Rfp |

For simple logic processors not implementing any of the specified arithmetic operations. | R = (1)/(3 × tlog) Where tlog is the execute time of the XOR, or for logic hardware not implementing the XOR, the fastest simple logic operation. See Notes X & Z |

For special logic processors not using any of the specified arithmetic or logic operations. | R = R' × WL/64 Where R' is the number of results per second, WL is the number of bits upon which the logic operation occurs, and 64 is a factor to normalise to a 64 bit operation. |

Note W: For a pipelined «CE» capable of executing up to one arithmetic or logic operation every clock cycle after the pipeline is full, a pipelined rate can be established. The effective calculating rate (R) for such a «CE» is the faster of the pipelined rate or non-pipelined execution rate.

Note X: For a «CE» which performs multiple operations of a specific type in a single cycle (e.g., two additions per cycle or two identical logic operations per cycle), the execution time t is given by:

t = ( cycle time )/( the number of identical operations per machine cycle )

«CEs» which perform different types of arithmetic or logic operations in a single machine cycle are to be treated as multiple separate «CEs» performing simultaneously (e.g., a «CE» performing an addition and a multiplication in one cycle is to be treated as two «CEs», the first performing an addition in one cycle and the second performing a multiplication in one cycle). If a single «CE» has both scalar function and vector function, use the shorter execution time value.

Note Y: For the «CE» that does not implement FP add or FP multiply, but that performs FP divide:

Rfp = (1)/(tfp divide)

If the «CE» implements FP reciprocal but not FP add, FP multiply or FP divide, then

Rfp = (1)/(tfp reciprocal)

If none of the specified instructions is implemented, the effective FP rate is 0.

Note Z: In simple logic operations, a single instruction performs a single logic manipulation of no more than two operands of given lengths. In complex logic operations, a single instruction performs multiple logic manipulations to produce one or more results from two or more operands.

Rates should be calculated for all supported operand lengths considering both pipelined operations (if supported), and non-pipelined operations using the fastest executing instruction for each operand length based on:

1.Pipelined or register-to-register operations. Exclude extraordinarily short execution times generated for operations on a predetermined operand or operands (for example, multiplication by 0 or 1). If no register-to-register operations are implemented, continue with (2).

2.The faster of register-to-memory or memory-to-register operations; if these also do not exist, then continue with (3).

3.Memory-to-memory.

In each case above, use the shortest execution time certified by the manufacturer.

Step 2: TP for each supported operand length WL

Adjust the effective rate R (or R') by the word length adjustment L as follows:

TP = R × L,

where L = (1/3 + WL/96)

Note: The word length WL used in these calculations is the operand length in bits. (If an operation uses operands of different lengths, select the largest word length.)

The combination of a mantissa ALU and an exponent ALU of a floating point processor or unit is considered to be one «CE» with a Word Length (WL) equal to the number of bits in the data representation (typically 32 or 64) for purposes of the «CTP» calculation.

This adjustment is not applied to specialized logic processors which do not use XOR instructions. In this case TP = R.

Select the maximum resulting value of TP for:

Each XP-only «CE» (Rxp);

Each FP-only «CE» (Rfp);

Each combined FP and XP «CE» (R);

Each simple logic processor not implementing any of the specified arithmetic operations; and

Each special logic processor not using any of the specified arithmetic or logic operations.

Step 3: «CTP» for aggregations of «CEs», including CPUs

For a CPU with a single «CE»,

«CTP» = TP

(for «CEs» performing both fixed and floating point operations

TP = max (TPfp, TPxp)

«CTP» for aggregations of multiple «CEs» operating simultaneously is calculated as follows:

Note 1: For aggregations that do not allow all of the «CEs» to run simultaneously, the possible combination of «CEs» that provides the largest «CTP» should be used. The TP of each contributing «CE» is to be calculated at its maximum value theoretically possible before the «CTP» of the combination is derived.

N.B. To determine the possible combinations of simultaneously operating «CEs», generate an instruction sequence that initiates operations in multiple «CEs», beginning with the slowest «CE» (the one needing the largest number of cycles to complete its operation) and ending with the fastest «CE». At each cycle of the sequence, the combination of «CEs» that are in operation during that cycle is a possible combination. The instruction sequence must take into account all hardware and/or architectural constraints on overlapping operations.

Note 2: A single integrated circuit chip or board assembly may contain multiple «CEs».

Note 3: Simultaneous operations are assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims concurrent, parallel or simultaneous operation or execution in a manual or brochure for the computer.

Note 4:«CTP» values are not to be aggregated for «CE» combinations (inter) connected by «Local Area Networks», Wide Area Networks, I/O shared connections/devices, I/O controllers and any communication interconnection implemented by «software».

Note 5:«CTP» values must be aggregated for multiple «CEs» specially designed to enhance performance by aggregation, operating simultaneously and sharing memory — or multiple memory/«CE»— combinations operating simultaneously utilising specially designed hardware.

This aggregation does not apply to «electronic assemblies» described by 4A003.c.

«CTP» = TP 1 + C 2 × TP 2 + ... + C n × TP n ,

where the TPs are ordered by value, with TP 1 being the highest, TP 2 being the second highest, ..., and TP n being the lowest. C i is a coefficient determined by the strength of the interconnection between «CEs», as follows:

For multiple «CEs» operating simultaneously and sharing memory:

C2 = C3 = C4 = ... = Cn = 0,75

Note 1: When the «CTP» calculated by the above method does not exceed 194 Mtops, the following formula may be used to calculate C i :

Ci = (0,75)/(√m) (i = 2,...,n)

where m = the number of «CEs» or groups of «CEs» sharing access.

provided:

1.The TP i of each «CE» or group of «CEs» does not exceed 30 Mtops;

2.The «CEs» or groups of «CEs» share access to main memory (excluding cache memory) over a single channel; and

3.Only one «CE» or group of «CEs» can have use of the channel at any given time.

N.B. This does not apply to items controlled under Category 3.

Note 2:«CEs» share memory if they access a common segment of solid state memory. This memory may include cache memory, main memory or other internal memory. Peripheral memory devices such as disk drives, tape drives or RAM disks are not included.

For Multiple «CEs» or groups of «CEs» not sharing memory, interconnected by one or more data channels:

Ci | = 0,75 × ki (i = 2, ..., 32) (see Note below) = 0,60 × ki (i = 33, ..., 64) = 0,45 × ki (i = 65, ..., 256) = 0,30 × ki (i > 256) |

The value of Ci is based on the number of «CE»s, not the number of nodes.

where

ki | = | min (Si/Kr, 1), and |

Kr | = | normalising factor of 20 MByte/s. |

Si | = | sum of the maximum data rates (in units of MByte/s) for all data channels connected to the ith«CE» or group of «CEs» sharing memory. |

When calculating a Ci for a group of «CEs», the number of the first «CE» in a group determines the proper limit for Ci. For example, in an aggregation of groups consisting of 3 «CEs» each, the 22nd group will contain «CE»64, «CE»65 and «CE»66. The proper limit for Ci for this group is 0,60.

Aggregation (of «CEs» or groups of «CEs») should be from the fastest-to-slowest; i.e.:

TP1 ≥ TP2 ≥ ... ≥ TPn, and

in the case of TPi = TPi + 1, from the largest to smallest; i.e.:

Ci ≥ Ci + 1

Note: The k i factor is not to be applied to «CEs» 2 to 12 if the TP i of the «CE» or group of «CEs» is more than 50 Mtops; i.e., C i for «CEs» 2 to 12 is 0,75.

TECHNICAL NOTE ON «ADJUSTED PEAK PERFORMANCE» («APP»)

«APP» is an adjusted peak rate at which «digital computers» perform 64-bit or larger floating point additions and multiplications.

«APP» is expressed in Weighted TeraFLOPS (WT), in units of 1012 adjusted floating point operations per second

Abbreviations used in this Technical Note

n | number of processors in the «digital computer» |

i | processor number (i,...n) |

ti | processor cycle time (ti = 1/Fi) |

Fi | processor frequency |

Ri | peak floating point calculating rate |

Wi | architecture adjustment factor |

Outline of «APP» calculation method

1. For each processor i, determine the peak number of 64-bit or larger floating point operations, FPOi, performed per cycle for each processor in the «digital computer».

Note

In determining FPO, include only 64-bit or larger floating point additions and/or multiplications. All floating point operations must be expressed in operations per processor cycle; operations requiring multiple cycles may be expressed in fractional results per cycle. For processors not capable of performing calculations on floating point operands of 64-bits or more, the effective calculating rate R is zero.

2. Calculate the floating point rate R for each processor Ri = FPOi/ti.

3. Calculate «APP» as «APP» = W1 x R1 + W2 x R2 + ... + Wn x Rn.

4. For «vector processors», Wi = 0.9. For non-«vector processors», Wi = 0.3.

Note 1 For processors that perform compound operations in a cycle, such as addition and multiplication, each operation is counted.

Note 2 For a pipelined processor the effective calculating rate R is the faster of the pipelined rate, once the pipeline is full, or the non-pipelined rate.

Note 3 The calculating rate R of each contributing processor is to be calculated at its maximum value theoretically possible before the «APP» of the combination is derived. Simultaneous operations are assumed to exist when the computer manufacturer claims concurrent, parallel, or simultaneous operation or execution in a manual or brochure for the computer.

Note 4 Do not include processors that are limited to input/output and peripheral functions (e.g., disk drive, communication and video display) when calculating «APP».

Note 5«APP» values are not to be calculated for processor combinations (inter)connected by «Local Area Networks», Wide Area Networks, I/O shared connections/devices, I/O controllers and any communication interconnection implemented by «software».

TECHNICAL NOTE ON «ADJUSTED PEAK PERFORMANCE» («APP»)

Note 6«APP» values must be calculated for:

1. Processor combinations containing processors specially designed to enhance performance by aggregation, operating simultaneously and sharing memory; or

2. Multiple memory/processor combinations operating simultaneously utilizing specially designed hardware.
