EU Export Controls and the Extraterritorial Reach of US Export Controls

Thursday 9th June, 12:00 EDT

This webinar is approved for one CES/MES/LCB credit.

Speaker: Anna Goncz, EU/UK and U.S. Export Controls Specialist

This webinar will examine the evolving relationship between EU export controls and the extraterritorial reach of US export regulations in an increasingly fragmented global trade environment. As export controls become central instruments of economic security and geopolitical strategy, companies operating across borders face growing compliance challenges arising from overlapping and sometimes competing legal regimes.

The session will provide an overview of the EU export control framework, including the EU Dual-Use Regulation and enforcement trends. It will then explore the mechanisms through which US export controls extend beyond US territory, including the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), the Foreign Direct Product Rule, de minimis rules, and restrictions affecting non-US companies and supply chains.

Particular attention will be given to the practical implications for European businesses engaged in international trade, technology transfers, research collaboration, and global manufacturing. The webinar will also address questions of jurisdiction, regulatory sovereignty, and compliance risk management in transatlantic transactions.#
