Ukraine updates control list in line with Australia Group

Ukraine’s government has updated its export control list in line with Australia Group recommendations, Ukrainian news agency Interfax reports.

The Australia Group is a multilateral forum which, ‘through the harmonisation of export controls seeks to ensure that exports do not contribute to the development of chemical or biological weapons’.

According to Interfax, ‘The Cabinet of Ministers has updated the edition of the national list of dual-use goods subject to state export control in international transfers in accordance with the new requirements of the Australia Group regime. The corresponding draft cabinet resolution on amendments to Supplement 5 to the procedure for implementing state export controls over international transfers of dual-use goods was passed at a government meeting on November 15 without discussion.’
