1 Council Regulation (EC) No 428/2009 of 5 May 2009 setting up a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transits of dual-use items (OJ L 134, 29.5.2009, p. 1).

General Notes

NB: In judging whether the controlled component or components is/are to be considered the principal element, it is necessary to weigh the factors of quantity, value and technological know-how involved and other special circumstances which might establish the controlled component or components as the principal element of the goods being procured .

The items specified in this Annex include both new and used goods.

General Technology Note (GTN) (To be read in conjunction with Section B of this Part)

The «technology» «required» for the «development», «production» or «use» of goods under control remains under control even when it is applicable to non-controlled goods.

Controls do not apply to that «technology» which is the minimum necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking) and repair of those goods which are not controlled or the export of which has been authorised in accordance with this Regulation.

Controls on «technology» transfer do not apply to information «in the public domain», to «basic scientific research» or to the minimum necessary information for patent applications.
