They were necessary, the EU said, because of \u201ctechnological developments and growing security risks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The goods affected will include controls on things like high-end computers and drones, identification software and spyware. The new rules put a stress on human rights as a key criteria for approving or refusing export licenses.<\/p>\n<p>Member states will be required to \u201cconsider the risk of use in connection with internal repression or the commission of serious violations of international human rights and international humanitarian law.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In an <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.europarl.europa.eu\/news\/en\/press-room\/20201105IPR90915\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announcement<\/a> this week, the EU said: \u201cParliament negotiators have succeeded in substantially strengthening human rights considerations among those new criteria to avoid that certain surveillance and intrusion technologies exported from the EU contribute to human rights abuses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In effect, that means if an EU company wants to export its technology to a country outside Europe, it will face greater hurdles and questions if that country has a history of abusing human rights or limiting political freedom.<\/p>\n<p>The rules have also been redrawn to encompass new and emerging technologies in an effort to stay ahead of future problems since changes to the rules \u2013 especially the international Wassenaar agreement \u2013 can often take a decade or more.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"> <span>Flexible<\/span><br \/>\n<\/h3>\n<p>The rules have been pitched as adding flexibility to the existing setup while also keeping up-to-date with technological advances. That flexibility basically allows the flow of goods and services to continue but puts greater transparency requirements on EU countries: reporting requirements are currently \u201cpatchy\u201d, according to the EU itself.<\/p>\n<p>Under the new rules, European governments must either disclose the destination, items and value of any cyber-surveillance exports or publicly disclose that they have decided not to make that information public. That may sound like a cop-out, but the goal is to highlight which countries are selling to repressive regimes and so enables others to exert pressure.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that the rules don\u2019t ban the export of such equipment \u2013 hardware or software \u2013 is a result of an earlier <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2015\/07\/15\/infosec_heavyweights_form_coalition_to_oppose_misguided_us_cyber_export_control_rule\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">effort<\/a> by the United States to put export restrictions on various cybersecurity tools: something that caused <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2015\/12\/11\/overhaul_wassenaar_or_ruin_next_heartbleed_fix_top_policy_boffin_says\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">uproar<\/a> in the tech industry and led to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2016\/03\/01\/obama_administration_softens_stance_on_wassenaar\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">hasty<\/a> <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2016\/07\/21\/microsoft_and_co_rewrite_wassenaar_in_urgent_bid_to_save_infosec_industry\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">re-evaluation<\/a>, followed by a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2016\/12\/21\/wassenar_negotiations_fail\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">collapse<\/a> in talks.

It is an EU milestone, as export rules for surveillance technologies have been agreed for the first time. Economic interests must not take precedence over human rights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rapporteur Marketa Gregoraova said: \u201cToday is a win for global human rights. We have set an important example for other democracies to follow. We will now have EU-wide transparency on the export of cyber surveillance and will control the export of biometric surveillance. Authoritarian regimes will no longer be able to secretly get their hands on European cyber-surveillance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The rules are not law yet. They need to be voted on by Parliament and the Council but they were drawn up by negotiators from both bodies so are expected to pass without much trouble.<\/p>\n<p>It is worth noting though that the rules will only apply to countries within the European Union, so they won\u2019t give a full picture of what is going on globally when it comes to cybersurveillance. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
