The new Export of Dual-Use Goods Act was adopted on March
26, 2004 and entered into force on April 16, 2004. The
new act was adopted to regulate the control measures for
exports of dual-use items in the part not governed by the
European Union regulations in this field, or where these
regulations authorize member states to further regulate


the field in their national regulations. This act applies


in addition to the provisions of the EU Council
Regulation (EC) No 1334/2000 of 22 June 2000 and the
Council Joint Action of 22 June 2000 concerning the
control of technical assistance related to certain
military end-uses.

A legal base for appointing the Commission for the
control of exports of dual-use items is the major change
that occurred in the new law. The work of the Commission
and other details of implementation of new law are
regulated with the new Decree on the Control of Exports
of Dual-Use Goods.
