INTRODUCTION, DEFINITIONS, TERMINOLOGY
MTCR/TEM/2007/Annex/003 09th January 2008
1. INTRODUCTION (a) This Annex consists of two categories of items, which
term includes equipment, materials, "software" or "technology". Category I
items, all of which are in Annex Items 1 and 2, are those items of greatest
sensitivity. If a Category I item is included in a system, that system will
also be considered as Category I, except when the incorporated item cannot be
separated, removed or duplicated. Category II items are those items in the
Annex not designated Category I. (b) In reviewing the proposed
applications for transfers of complete rocket and unmanned aerial vehicle
systems described in Items 1 and 19, and of equipment, materials, "software"
or "technology" which is listed in the Technical Annex, for potential use in
such systems, the Government will take account of the ability to trade off
"range" and "payload". (c) General Technology Note: The transfer of
"technology" directly associated with any goods controlled in the Annex is
controlled according to the provisions in each Item to the extent permitted
by national legislation. The approval of any Annex item for export also
authorizes the export to the same end-user of the minimum "technology"
required for the installation, operation, maintenance, and repair of the
item.
