Further to the notice to exporters 2025/32 ECJU has published guidance on how to submit export licence applications for consideration under articles 1, 2 and 3 of the Agreement on Defence Export Controls.

Applications submitted for consideration under Article 3 must be supported by an integration certificate. This records information on the goods and parties involved, end user details, and whether it falls below the minimum threshold.


A template integration certificate and guidance to help complete it have also been published.
