The EU Export Compliance Register (EU-ECR) has been set up to offer a single EU Code of Conduct and EU Export Compliance Commitment, binding all Organizations and self employed individuals which accept to “play by the rules” in full respect of ethical principles.
 
It provides Institutions and Organizations with a direct and single access to information about who is committed to:
 
Promote and disseminate excellency behaviors through managerial correctness, transparency and verifiability of export activities.
 
Operate within the EU Export Compliance Framework (EU-ECF) in line with EU regulations and National States laws.

EIFEC Registration Number (ERN), which is the ID number of a Certified Organization and Certification Expiry Date (CED), which allows EU National Authorities or Registered Financial Institutions to verify the updated certification validity when needed.
 
A complaint and sanctions mechanism ensures the enforcement of the rules and to address suspected breaches of the code and or the EU-CEC.
The European Export Compliance Register has been set up and is operated by the EIFEC Register Secretariat of the European Institute for Export Compliance.
Organizations and individuals shall:
adopt the European Code for Export Compliance (EU-CEC) as management framework for their import/export and make their commitment to implement the Principles and guidelines  as  guiding  values of their activities.
 
Export Compliance provides support in compliance risk management, i.e. the risk of legal or administrative sanctions, financial losses or reputation deterioration for failing to comply with EU laws, regulations and legislation, codes of conduct and good practice. The Organizations are committed to comply with all Export laws, regulations and norms in the EU and is a policy for all their employees.

Failure to comply with these regulations may result in the imposition of criminal and/or civil fines, penalties and cancellation from the Register of EU Compliant Organizations and the EIFEC Register Number (ERN) suspended or revoked.
 
Organizations will act and communicate in a transparent manner, in their relation with EU and member states Institutions, and all stakeholders  about operating EU Export Compliance policy, and the economic, financial and legal implications of each activity undertaken.

  • not obtain or try to obtain information, or any decision, dishonestly, or by use of undue pressure or inappropriate behavior;
 
  • not claim any formal relationship with the EU or any of its institutions in our dealings with third parties, nor misrepresent the effect of Registration in such a way as to mislead third parties or officials or other staff of the EU except those provided by EU Export Compliance Certification (EU- C/ECO);
 
  • ensure that, to the best of their knowledge, information which they provide upon this Registration and subsequently in the framework of their activities within the scope of the registration is complete, up-to-date and not misleading;
 
  • not induce Members of the EU institutions, officials or other staff of the EU, or assistants or trainees of those Members, to contravene the rules and standards of behavior applicable to them;

Under the EU Transparency Register Code has been precised by the following public statement made by VP Sefcovic: "Services forming an integral part of their administration, staffed by local, regional or municipal officials and engaged in activities corresponding to their institutional or constitutional attributions, will thus not be expected to register". Indeed autonomous structures, with a private legal status, which would include subnational public authorities but which would be also shared with private interests, created in order to pursue activities falling within the scope of the Register would be expected to register”.
 
EU Member States governments, third country governments, international intergovernmental organizations as well as their diplomatic missions are not expected to register.

Registering your Organisation in the EU Export Compliance Register (EU-ECR) and committing it to ensure a full respect of the EU Trasparency Code of Conduct and the EU Export Compliance Commitment by yourself, your employees, your members or representatives will be a public indication that your organization or yourself accepts to "play by the rules" and to interact with the EU in full transparency and in compliance with EU export laws and regulations.

Registering you agree to adopt the EU Code for Export Compliance  (EU-CEC) and implement the EU Export Compliance Framework ( EU-ECF) within your activity.

In addition you will become, after verification / certification process has been positively concluded, a EU Export Compliant Organization (EU-C/ECO).

Agents and Members of the institutions in EU will be able to ensure, when you contact them or when you communicate with them, that they are interacting with an organisation which accepts to "play by the rules" in export and in transparency, certified by third independent accredited parties or authorities.

While Export Compliance programs officially still remain optional for EU exporters, the recent moves by various EU Government in the area of Export Compliance enforcement make it clear that Export Compliance programs are important. Indeed, they are considered in many instances to have a mitigating effect if not a Safe Harbor effect in the case of an export law violation. Against this background, EU exporters or NON EU organization dealing with EU who fail to develop Export Compliance programs appear to be ill-equipped to deal with the steadily increasing number of government- sponsored export compliance initiatives.

Registering and becoming an EU-C/ECO you will have access to the world’s EU leading source of intelligent information about EU Export Compliance for Organizations and professionals. Innovative technology is deployed to deliver critical information for leading decision makers in the financial, legal, tax and accounting, scientific and healthcare markets.

It brings together market-leading global regulatory partners and securities intelligence; business law research; contract and deal-drafting tools; internal policy management; e-learning; anti-money laundering solutions; and audit, filing, board of director and disclosure services.
