While new international security challenges would require a review and update of legal definitions, the EU Dual-Use Legislation seems not to properly respond to such new demands. For this reason, from 26 to 28 January the 2020 Chaudfontaine Group gathered to discuss the gaps existing between formal definitions and their scope of application in Council Regulation (EC) No. 428/20091, aiming to find an agreement on new potentially improved definitions. The group was composed of academics, public authorities and experts from research centres.
