Wassenaar Arrangement Announces Several Changes to List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies and Munitions List
The Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies recently published several changes to the List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies and Munitions List (WA-LIST (04) 1). The changes include all of the amendments that wewre agreed to by a joint Experts Group/General Working Group in April 2005 and were subsequently approved at Plenary level on June 3, 2005. The specific changes included revisions to certain notes relating to optical sensors and cameras contained in Category 6 of the List of Dual-Use Goods and Technologies and to certain Validity Notes. These changes will not affect the U.S. Commerce Control List until they are published in the Federal Register at a future date.
The complete summary of changes adopted in June 2005 and the revised version of the List of Dual-Use Goods & Technologies and Munitions List (now referred to as "WA-LIST (04) 2") can be viewed at the following link: www.wassenaar.org/list/wa-listTableOfContents.htm.
