            COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2024/2547
of 5 September 2024
         
amending Regulation (EU) 2021/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the list of dual-use items


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2021/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 May 2021 setting up a Union regime for the control of exports, brokering, technical assistance, transit and transfer of dual-use items (1), and in particular Article 17(1), point (a) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2021/821 dual-use items are to be subject to effective control when they are exported from or in transit through the Union, or are delivered to a third country as a result of brokering services provided by a broker resident or established in the Union.












(2)


Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/821 establishes the common list of dual-use items that are subject to controls in the Union. Decisions regarding the items subject to such controls are taken within the framework of internationally agreed dual-use controls.












(3)


The list of dual-use items set out in Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/821 needs to be updated regularly in order to ensure full compliance with international security obligations and commitments which the Member States and, where applicable, the Union have accepted as members of the Australia Group (2), the Missile Technology Control Regime (3), the Nuclear Suppliers Group (4), the Wassenaar Arrangement (5) and the Chemical Weapons Convention (6), to guarantee transparency, and to maintain the competitiveness of economic operators. In this regard, the control lists adopted by the international non-proliferation regimes and export control arrangements have been changed during 2023, and therefore Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/821 should be amended accordingly. In order to facilitate references for export control authorities and economic operators, Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/821 should be replaced.












(4)


In order to ensure full compliance with international security obligations as soon as possible, this Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.












(5)


Regulation (EU) 2021/821 should therefore be amended accordingly,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
Annex I to Regulation (EU) 2021/821 is replaced by the text in the Annex to this Regulation.


Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.




This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
Done at Brussels, 5 September 2024.


For the Commission


The President

Ursula VON DER LEYEN

GENERAL NOTES TO ANNEX I








1.


For control of goods which are designed or modified for military use, see the Common Military List of the European Union (6) and relevant list(s) of controls on military goods maintained by individual EU Member States. References in this Annex that state "SEE ALSO MILITARY GOODS CONTROLS" refer to the same lists.












2.


The object of the controls contained in this Annex should not be defeated by the export of any non-controlled goods (including plant) containing one or more controlled components when the controlled component or components are the principal element of the goods and can feasibly be removed or used for other purposes.








N.B.





In judging whether the controlled component or components are to be considered the principal element, it is necessary to weigh the factors of quantity, value and technological know-how involved and other special circumstances which might establish the controlled component or components as the principal element of the goods being procured.

















3.


Goods specified in this Annex include both new and used goods.












4.


In some instances, chemicals are listed by name and CAS number. The list applies to chemicals of the same structural formula (including hydrates, isotopically-labelled forms or all possible stereoisomers) regardless of name or CAS number. CAS numbers are shown to assist in identifying a particular chemical or mixture, irrespective of nomenclature. CAS numbers cannot be used as unique identifiers because some forms of the listed chemical have different CAS numbers, and mixtures containing a listed chemical may also have different CAS numbers.




NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY NOTE (NTN)
(To be read in conjunction with section E of Category 0.)

2B   Test, Inspection and Production Equipment



Technical Notes:









1.




For the purposes of 2B, secondary parallel contouring axes, (e.g., the w-axis on horizontal boring mills or a secondary rotary axis the centre line of which is parallel to the primary rotary axis) are not counted in the total number of contouring axes. Rotary axes need not rotate over 360°. A rotary axis can be driven by a linear device (e.g., a screw or a rack-and-pinion).












2.




For the purposes of 2B, the number of axes which can be co-ordinated simultaneously for "contouring control" is the number of axes along or around which, during processing of the workpiece, simultaneous and interrelated motions are performed between the workpiece and a tool. This does not include any additional axes along or around which other relative movement within the machine are performed such as:








a.




Wheel-dressing systems in grinding machines;












b.




Parallel rotary axes designed for mounting of separate workpieces;












c.




Co-linear rotary axes designed for manipulating the same workpiece by holding it in a chuck from different ends.
















3.




For the purposes of 2B, axis nomenclature shall be in accordance with International Standard ISO 841:2001, Industrial automation systems and integration - Numerical control of machines - Coordinate system and motion nomenclature.












4.




For the purposes of 2B001 to 2B009, a "tilting spindle" is counted as a rotary axis.












5.




For the purposes of 2B, 'stated "unidirectional positioning repeatability"' may be used for each machine tool model as an alternative to individual machine tests and is determined as follows:








a.




Select five machines of a model to be evaluated;












b.




Measure the linear axis repeatability (R↑,R↓) according to ISO 230-2:2014 and evaluate "unidirectional positioning repeatability" for each axis of each of the five machines;












c.



Determine the arithmetic mean value of the "unidirectional positioning repeatability"-values for each axis of all five machines together. These arithmetic mean values of "unidirectional positioning repeatability" (





) become the stated value of each axis for the model (






x,






y, …);











d.




Since the Category 2 list refers to each linear axis there will be as many 'stated "unidirectional positioning repeatability" values as there are linear axes;












e.




If any axis of a machine model not specified in 2B001.a. to 2B001.c. has a 'stated "unidirectional positioning repeatability" equal to or less than the specified "unidirectional positioning repeatability" of each machine tool model plus 0,7 μm, the builder should be required to reaffirm the accuracy level once every eighteen months.
















6.




For the purposes of 2B001.a. to 2B001.c., measurement uncertainty for the "unidirectional positioning repeatability" of machine tools, as defined in the International Standard ISO 230-2:2014 or national equivalents, shall not be considered.












7.




For the purposes of 2B001.a. to 2B001.c., the measurement of axes shall be made according to test procedures in 5.3.2. of ISO 230-2:2014. Tests for axes longer than 2 meters shall be made over 2 m segments. Axes longer than 4 m require multiple tests (e.g., two tests for axes longer than 4 m and up to 8 m, three tests for axes longer than 8 m and up to 12 m), each over 2 m segments and distributed in equal intervals over the axis length. Test segments are equally spaced along the full axis length, with any excess length equally divided at the beginning, in between, and at the end of the test segments. The smallest "unidirectional positioning repeatability"-value of all test segments is to be reported.

TABLE - DEPOSITION TECHNIQUES - TECHNICAL NOTE

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 synthesise 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 ionised 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 ionise 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 1 030 K (757 °C) and 1 375 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 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 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-bit 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 × R1 + W2 × R2 + … + Wn × 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".













Note 6:






                                             "APP" values must be calculated for processor combinations containing processors specially designed to enhance performance by aggregation, operating simultaneously and sharing memory;



Technical Notes:









1.




Aggregate all processors and accelerators operating simultaneously and located on the same die.












2.




Processor combinations share memory when any processor is capable of accessing any memory location in the system through the hardware transmission of cache lines or memory words, without the involvement of any software mechanism, which may be achieved using "electronic assemblies" specified in 4A003.c.

















Note 7:





A 'vector processor' is defined as a processor with built-in instructions that perform multiple calculations on floating-point vectors (one-dimensional arrays of 64-bit or larger numbers) simultaneously, having at least 2 vector functional units and at least 8 vector registers of at least 64 elements each.
