Abstract :
[en] After 11 years of implementing UNSC resolution 1540, many of us can testify to the variety of export control components which must be developed, maintained, and kept up-to-date to fulfill the resolution’s requirements. Considering the complexity of the topic, we must not only do more and do it well, but we must also constantly explore new ways to do better. Some of the recent European Commission Joint Research Center (JRC) initiatives described hereafter are examples of good practices. They are creative and complementary activities designed to be part of this required constant effort to keep international trade from contributing to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
