Wassenaar Arrangement
Also called: Wassenaar
A multilateral export control regime through which participating states agree on lists of conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies to be controlled. Its lists are incorporated into national and EU control lists, such as Annex I of the EU dual-use regulation.
In practice
Most dual-use control list entries trace back to Wassenaar, so changes agreed there flow into EU, UK, US and Turkish lists.
