Official summary of the law (Knesset)

Under the provisions of the Defense Export Control Law, 2007, oversight of defense exports is under the authority of the Defense Export Controls Division (hereinafter - DECA). The oversight is carried out in several stages: registration in the defense export registry maintained by DECA, and a licensing process consisting of obtaining a marketing license and obtaining an export license. The amendment to the Law includes two main changes to the existing situation: under the first amendment, the definition of the authority empowered to grant licenses under the Law is expanded, so that in addition to the Director General of the Ministry of Defense and the Head of DECA, a senior official who is at least the head of a division will also be permitted to grant licenses if authorized to do so by the Ministry's Director General. However, the Law clarifies that the authority granted to the competent authority to impose administrative sanctions on those who violate the provisions of the Control Law is not also given to the senior official. The second amendment provides that if an exemption has been established in regulations regarding an action or equipment listed under one of the license types, no additional approval process for the exemption will be required from DECA.
