<p>The Wassenaar Arrangement is a long-established multilateral export control regime
which operates by consensus. It includes the majority of states producing these advanced
technologies and draws on expertise from all members to develop control lists, which
are updated annually. These lists are used by participating states to implement their
export controls and, as the Wassenaar Arrangement sets the global standard for good
practice, non-member states also incorporate the control lists into their domestic
legislation.</p><p>The UK is an active member of the Wassenaar Arrangement and other
multilateral export control regimes. We submit and review proposals related to these
advanced technologies, share best practice, and participate in outreach to non-member
states. We are co-ordinating with G7 and other partners to strengthen export controls,
including to update multilateral export control regime lists to keep pace with rapid
technological developments.</p>
