export control
The so-called "export controls"or export controls are obligations that governments impose on exporters with the aim of controlling exports of certain products that the government considered sensitive or strategic as a consequence, among many other things, of international treaties.
As a general rule, controls the export of defense products or dual-use goods which are goods and/or technology, which can be used for both civil and military, including products that help in the manufacture of nuclear weapons. To this end, there is a common regulatory framework in the European Union of forced compliance by the Member States although it is expected that the Member States may, for reasons of public security or to ensure the protection of human rights establish additional controls.
It is necessary to note that these controls are in place at the global level and there are rules adopted by third territories, in particular, for USA, with an application to the supranational.
