Moreover, the proposal will enhance the EU's efforts to prevent non-state actors from gaining access to sensitive items and will thus contribute to the fight against terrorism 6. The proposal will also ensure that the EU and its Member States effectively comply with their international obligations, in particular with respect to WMD non-proliferation. The proposal will contribute to the European Security Strategy 4, and in particular responds to the 2013 Council Conclusions on the new challenges presented by the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) 5. "contribute to peace and security, as well as free and fair trade and the protection of human rights". The proposal aims at supporting the overall policy objectives of the Union, as laid out in Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union, i.e. Consistency with existing policy provisions in the policy area.Since further amendments are to be made, it should be recast in the interests of clarity and readability. The export control policy review has been identified as an initiative under the Regulatory Fitness and Performance Programme (REFIT) in consideration of its potential regulatory simplification and burden reduction.Ĭouncil Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 has been amended on several occasions. This proposal has been prepared in light of the conclusions of the impact assessment. In 2015, the Commission conducted an impact assessment of the review options outlined in that Communication to identify the most suitable regulatory and non-regulatory actions to bring them into effect. In April 2014, the Commission adopted a Communication 3 setting out concrete policy options for the review of the EU export control regime and its adaptation to rapidly changing technological, economic and political circumstances. The report concluded that the EU export control system provides solid legal and institutional foundations but cannot remain static and must be upgraded in order to face new challenges. In line with Article 25(2) of the Regulation, the Commission presented in October 2013 a comprehensive report to the European Parliament and the Council 2 on the implementation of the Regulation. In May 2009, the Council of the European Union adopted Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items 1 (hereunder "the Regulation").
