Regulation - Order amending the Export Control List
On January 30, 2013, the Government of Canada finalized the regulatory process to amend the Export Control List. This amendment serves to control, clarify controls and remove control over specific items as agreed upon in the various multilateral export control regimes and in accordance with Canadian domestic policy.
This Order and the April 2011 version of "A Guide to Canada's Export Controls" (Guide) will formally come into effect on March 15, 2013. Until that time, the June 2010 version of the Guide remains in effect. Electronic and printed copies of the new April 2011 Guide will be available as of March 15, 2013.
The new version of the Guide will incorporate Canadian commitments and obligations to the various multilateral export control regimes up to April 2011. A table identifying the date of Canadian commitments to each regime appears below.
| Export Control Regime | Latest Controls Incorporated into ECL |
|---|---|
| Wassenaar Arrangement | December 2010 |
| Nuclear Suppliers Group | June 2010 |
| Missile Technology Control Regime | April 2011 |
| Australia Group | November 2010 |
A brief overview of key changes are provided on the Export Controls Division website.
The regulation and the Regulatory Impact Analysis Statement was published on the Canada Gazette website on February 13, 2013. Please contact the Export Controls Division for more details.
