On 20 October the European Commission published for the first time in the Official Journal of the European Union a compilation of national control lists in application of Article 9(4) of Regulation (EU) 2021/821 on the control of exports of dual-use items. In accordance with Article 10 of the Regulation, following the publication of the national control lists by the European Commission, the other Member States may now impose an authorisation requirement for the export of items on the basis of the national control lists.
