The seventh edition of the Chaudfontaine Group was held from 8 to 10 January 2017, in Chaudfontaine, with the support of DG DEVCO of the European Commission.
This seventh edition focused on “Incentives of non-proliferation outreach activities: actors and rationale”. The objective of the seminar was to debate WMD dual-use goods trade control outreach activities, also in the light of the European Commission’ s proposal for a new EU dual-use legislation, which makes a clear link between the internal and external dimensions of dual-use trade controls.
The seminar, divided into three main sessions, dealt with the recast of the EU dual-use trade legislation, the correlation between EU international trade and export controls in outreach activities and the link between outreach activities and the enhancement of international security.
