BERLIN (AP) ? Chancellor Angela Merkel's Cabinet has agreed upon changes to strengthen and modernize the country's export laws, the Economy Ministry said Wednesday.
One major focus is on so-called dual-use goods ? items that can be used for either civilian or military purposes.
Under the proposed changes, which have to be approved by Parliament, all unauthorized export of dual-use items will now be prosecuted criminally where in the past that was only possible under certain conditions.
"The deliberate and unauthorized export of so-called dual-use goods ... will, under this new proposal, all be prosecuted criminally," said Merkel's spokesman Steffen Seibert.
The proposal also calls for increasing penalties for violating arms embargoes to a maximum of 10 years from the current five, Seibert said.
