"EU Updates Dual-Use Goods Control List to Address Emerging Technologies and Security Challenges"

"The European Commission has updated the EU's dual-use goods control list, effective September 2025, to address emerging security technologies and align with international standards. Key additions include quantum computing technologies, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and advanced materials. This revision reflects the growing importance of export controls in strategic security and economic policies amidst complex geopolitical dynamics. The updated list introduces new compliance requirements for businesses, particularly those involved in global supply chains."

The law firm BLOMSTEIN provided legal support in relation to the recent updates to the EU Dual-Use Regulation, assisting clients in navigating the new compliance requirements and strategic implications of the revised control list. On September 8, 2025, the European Commission adopted a Delegated Regulation that fully revised and updated the control list for dual-use goods in Annex I of Regulation (EU) 2021/821. This update aims to address emerging security-relevant technologies, ensure their controlled dissemination, and align EU regulations with international standards. Key additions to the control list include quantum computing technologies, semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and other advanced technologies. The revision reflects the increasingly complex geopolitical landscape and the strategic role of export controls in economic and security policy. The lawyers involved in advising on the updates to the Dual-Use Regulation from BLOMSTEIN include Florian Wolf and Laura Louca, who are available to assist with any questions or advisory needs related to the regulation.
