EXPORT, IMPORT AND TRANSFER CONTROLS


Italy has two primary legislative regimes relevant to the control of exports and
transfers of materials related to biological weapons. The country has created a
military control list and system under Law 185/1990 on new provisions on

secondary instruments. Italy has also created a control system for related
dual-use materials under Legislative Decree 221/2017, partially updated by
Article 23 of Law Decree 69/2023. Both systems implement relevant EU laws,
namely Regulation (EU) 2021/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council of
20 May 2021 setting up a Union regime for the control of exports, brokering,
technical assistance, transit and transfer of dual-use items (recast) and Common
