Almost all goods controlled in the EU as dual use are controlled as a result of EU Regulation 428/2009.  Certain goods can also be controlled at EU level for exports to specific third countries due to EU sanctions against those countries.

The following document summarizes the more than 250 substantive changes made to the EU List of Dual Use items set out in Annex I of the EU’s Export Control Regulation 428/2009.
