The export licensing pages of my Department's website are updated on a regular basis, for example, to reflect changes to the lists of goods currently subject to control. The latest control lists for both military and dual use goods are available for download from the website. The list of controlled military goods is contained in the schedule to the Control of Exports Order 2005, SI 884 of 22 December 2005. As regards dual use goods, my Department has made available on the website an indexed version of Council regulation No. 394 of 2006 which was published in the Official Journal of the EU on 13 March 2006.

It is anticipated that a substantive revision of the website will be made shortly in the context of the imminent introduction of the on-line electronic licensing application system, with a view to better meeting the information needs of industry and other stakeholders.
