Products, including software and technologies, that can be used for both civil and military purposes are considered dual-use technology products. This dual use means particular care is needed with regard to their export, to prevent the proliferation of weapons and, above all, of weapons of mass destruction. As is clear to any analyst, it is essential for international security that there be control of these products, and that the regulations establishing the relevant control mechanisms be constantly updated in line with technological developments. It is also clear that, in states under the rule of law, these controls should be transparent and democratic, as is the Commission’s intention.
Finally, I believe, as stated in the Opinion of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, that the Commission needs to be sensitive to the fact that some EU Member States have more restrictive and stringent rules with regard to control of exports of dual-use products. This is natural and, in my opinion, should be maintained."@en1
