The European Commission has launched consultation activities as part of the overall evaluation of the EU Dual-Use Regulation. This regulation establishes controls on the export, transfer, brokering, and transit of dual-use items, namely goods, software, and technologies that may have both civilian and military applications.
As certain cybersecurity technologies and services may fall within the scope of dual-use controls, this consultation may be of particular interest to organisations operating in the cybersecurity sector.
The consultation and surveys can be accessed through the following links:
- Open Public Consultation and Call for Evidence:
- Targeted surveys for business, research, and academia [deadline: 11 September 2026, 23:59 (CEST)]:
Participation from businesses, research organisations, academia, and other stakeholders is encouraged, as it will provide broader perspectives and help ensure that a wide range of views and experiences are reflected in the evaluation process.
