"March 2016".

This paper aims to inform the ongoing process by providing a detailed analysis of the review options currently being discussed and the key considerations that will need to be addressed. In particular, it details the range of generic and EU-specific challenges that confront the implementation of dual-use export controls. It also lays out concrete options for how the EU could address these challenges while strengthening the Dual-use Regulation in ways that promote both security and human rights, without generating unnecessary regulatory burden.

The EU Non-Proliferation Consortium is a network of foreign policy institutions and research centres from across the EU engaged in political and security-related dialogue and discussion of measures to combat the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems. The Consortium is managed jointly by SIPRI and three other institutes, in close cooperation with the representative of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. The three institutes are the Fondation pour la recherche stratégique in Paris, the Peace Research Institute in Frankfurt (HSFK/PRIF), and the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London.
