 In the EU there is a common regulatory framework that controls the export of defense products and/or products and/or dual-use technologies.

 On the other hand, Member States may, for reasons of public security or to ensure the protection of human rights, may establish additional controls.

The exponential growth in the defense sector, the opening of new markets and the development of new technologies, with applications in both military and civilian, have increased the type of controls and substantially amended certain operational, forcing the operators to implement a series of measures to understand and manage their risks in this regard.

We are in a world strictly regulated, which may lead to serious implications for the operator, in case of proving the existence of potential breaches.
