Urges Member States to comply with the principles of the common position and to report fully and regularly on the state of their defence equipment exports to third countries; calls on the Council and the VP/HR to identify the reasons for Member States’ incomplete compliance with the reporting obligation and to implement a new mechanism that may fill that gap and increase transparency and public scrutiny of the export control framework; recalls that adherence to the common position is fundamental to the fulfilment of EU principles and values, particularly in the field of international human rights law and international humanitarian law and its responsibilities as regards global security;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Notes the Commission communication on the review of export control policy of dual-use items and stresses, in this context, the necessity to ensure control modalities that do not hinder the free flow of goods and technology within the internal market and prevent diverging interpretations of EU rules; urges the Commission to urgently come forward with a new legislative proposal to update the dual-use export control regime to improve its coherence, efficiency, transparency and a recognition of human rights impact, while ensuring a level playing field; stresses that this proposal must take account of the changing nature of security challenges and the speed of technological developments, especially when it comes to surveillance and intrusion software and equipment and the trade in software vulnerabilities;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 15
Paragraph 15
15. Notes that while the growing importance of dual-use technologies offers benefits in terms of synergies between the defence sector and commercial production, it also makes it dependent on civilian supply chains, which often base their production outside Europe; warns also of the growing internationalisation of industrial supply chains and the effects that changes in ownership in the defence sector may have on the security of supply in the EU and also the heightened risks for European and national security, including to the EU's digital infrastructure;
