of 3 May 2022

amending Regulation (EU) 2021/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council by removing Russia as a destination from the scope of Union general export authorisations

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Whereas:

| (1) | In light of Russia’s illegal attack on Ukraine’s territorial integrity, sovereignty, and independence and the respective threats to the Union’s essential security interests, the Union decided to impose further restrictions on exports of dual-use goods and technology and on the provision of related services. Council Regulation (EU) 2022/328 (2) imposes, amongst others, restrictions on exports of dual-use goods and technology and on the provision of related services. Council Regulation (EU) 2022/394 (3) further imposes export restrictions on navigation goods and technologies. Council Regulation (EU) 2022/428 (4) imposes export restrictions on equipment, technology and services for Russia’s energy industry (excluding nuclear industry and the downstream sector of energy transport). Council Regulation (EU) 2022/576 (5) imposes additional export restrictions on a range of advanced technologies. |
