- The decree on export control of dual-use items entered into force on 15 April 2026, supplementing the 2024 Act and clarifying exporters’ reporting and notification obligations.
- It harmonises and simplifies reporting for exporters using global and EU general export authorisations, reducing administrative burden for small and medium-sized operators.
- Exporters must report annually to the Ministry for Foreign Affairs if their exports exceed EUR 5,000,000; smaller exporters only need to notify if they remain below this threshold.
- The decree sets minimum requirements for exporters’ Internal Compliance Programmes (ICP) but allows flexibility in their structure.
- The procedure for notifying the use of EU general export authorisations remains unchanged.
