From 8 to 12 August 2022, the 8th Summer University of the Strategic Trade Control Programme (EU P2P) was held in Wiesbaden, the Federal Republic of Germany. The Vietnamese delegation comprised representatives of the Standing Office of Vietnam’s National Focal Point for countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (Standing Office 81)/Ministry of National Defence and of the General Department of Vietnam Customs/Ministry of Finance.

Participants in the Summer University of the Strategic Trade Control Programme (EU P2P)

The EU P2P Summer University on Strategic Trade Control is designed to complement the Initiative for the establishment of Centres of Excellence in the chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear field (CBRN Initiative) launched by the European Union (EU), with the aim of enhancing the effectiveness of strategic trade control systems worldwide by sharing experience and best practices and by supporting compliance with international obligations; effective trade controls on CBRN-related materials, equipment and technology contribute to world peace and stability while facilitating trade and foreign direct investment.

The Chemical Corps – Standing Office 81 has been authorised by the Ministry of National Defence to act as the focal point for implementing Project No. 90 – Export Control Programme for Dual-Use Goods in South-East Asia for the 2022–2024 period.

At the Summer University, experts from the European Union (EU), the University of Liège (Kingdom of Belgium) and the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control of the Federal Republic of Germany (BAFA) presented the main components of a strategic trade control (STC) system; the EU dual-use list and control enforcement system: origin, structure and use; customs targeting and risk profiles, and correlation tables; investigation and prosecution; inter-agency cooperation; licensing risks; export compliance and the perspectives of industry, government and researchers, including internal compliance measures and the experience of EU Member States; internal compliance measures in the research context; the experience of EU partner countries; and parallel group discussion sessions on selected topics, including the screening of foreign direct investment (FDI) and countering proliferation financing, establishing controls on emerging technologies, and intangible technology transfers and the dissemination of research.

The Summer University was a good opportunity for officials to deepen their understanding of the European STC system and of policy-making and enforcement in strategic trade control; to prepare capacity-building activities for future trainers; and to build and strengthen a global network of experts. Participation in the Summer University affirmed the position and role of Standing Office 81 in international cooperation on STC in particular and on countering the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in general.
