High-frequency drive users: are you breaking the law?
European Council Resolution (EC) No 428/2009 and its subsequent amendments cover the export of goods, software and technology normally used for civilian purposes but which may have military applications or may contribute to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. With this in mind, the EU controls the export, transit and brokering of these 'dual-use' items as a key instrument contributing to international peace and security. This can have implications, for example, for suppliers of high-frequency drives and, importantly, machinery and equipment incorporating those drives.
