Article 16 – paragraph 2 – point b
(b) The list of dual-uscyber-surveillance items set out in Section B of Annex I may be amended if this is necessary due to risks that the export of such items may pose as regards the commission of systematic and serious violations of human rights or international humanitarian law or the essential security interests of the Union and its Member States, in particular violations of the freedom of expression, the freedom of assembly and the right to privacy in countries where internal repression and the absence of functioning rule of law mechanisms is assessed and reported on by the Commission. When listing an item, the following considerations shall be taken into account: the ability to make a clear and objective specification of the item, the foreign availability of the item outside of the Union, the ability to control effectively the export of the item as well as the controls by the international export control regimes. The Commission may decide to remove an item from the list in particular if in the course of the fast changing technological environment, the products meanwhile became a lower tie or mass products, easily available or technically easy modifiable.
