für Einsteiger (Stufe 1) European and German Export Controls

The regulation of military, dual use and commercial items in daily practice: Recognizing and avoiding risks proactively

The export of hardware, software and technology (“know-how”) as well as technical services are subject to various licensing obligations and prohibitions. The corresponding legal regulations are usually referred to as “export controls” or “export compliance” which aim to prohibit deliveries to “the wrong people” by securing economic, foreign and security policy interests. Within this training course, you will learn the basics of these regulations which are mainly covered by European and German export control law.

Recently, various sanctions and embargoes, e.g. against Syria, Iran or Russia entered into force. In this respect, even minor infringements can lead to severe penalties being imposed on the company, its management and even employees, including fines, sequestration of profits or even imprisonment. Furthermore, the loss of export privileges, revocations of commercial licenses and a damaged reputation are very likely to threaten a company’s image as a reliable partner towards its shareholders.

Consequently, the complete and efficient implementation of national and European export control regulations requires companies to put in place and actively maintain an Internal Compliance Program (ICP). To ensure compliance by means of internal measures affects all operational and strategic company operations which relate to export controls. Therefore, senior management and employees need to be aware of the legal requirements as well as the respective requirements to their daily business.
