Posted by Matt Schmitt on 3/28/19 5:00 PM

On March 21, 2019, the European Commission issued a notice to stakeholders on the rules for dual-use export controls for after the withdrawal of the United Kingdom (UK) from the European Union (EU).

Per the notice, upon withdrawal:

  • The UK will be considered a third country with regard to EU dual-use regulation;

  • Licenses issued by the UK as a member of the EU will no longer be valid for exports from the EU to non-EU countries; such exports will require a license issued by one of the 27 remaining member states; and

  • Intra-EU transfer licenses issued by one of the EU member states prior to the withdrawal date of the UK will still be valid for exports to the UK.
