The subject of the study. The article proves the importance of security problems and controlover goods and technologies that can be used for civilian and military purposes.Research methods. The concept of dual–use goods, their essence and affiliation are defined.It is studied that in order to implement internationally agreed measures for control over dual–usegoods and introduce agreed European trade standards, the European Union has created a separateregime of export control over dual–use goods. It is proved that a common effective system of exportcontrol over the movement of dual–use goods is one of the elements that ensures the fulfillment ofinternational obligations accepted by the EU states. The application of common approaches of the EUstates to export control of dual–use goods is determined as a prerequisite for establishing the freemovement of a significant part of such goods within the EU.Results of work. An analysis of the institutional support of export control over the movement ofdual–use goods in the EU member states is carried out. The 2021 Dual–Use Regulation is examinedas a document that strengthens the security aspect of export control and serves as a legal basis formore frequent application of dual–use sanctions in the future. Emphasis is placed on the importantrole of the degree of coherence as a convergence of external actions, when EU Member States applya common approach, and different measures in countries do not undermine each other and do notviolate established rules in the context of established control over dual–use goods and sanctions forviolations. Vertical and horizontal coherence are identified.Conclusions. The main aspects of the formation and functioning of control over dual–use goods andtechnologies in Ukraine are identified, in particular the legislative framework, the bodies that carry outthis control, methods and tools for controlling dual–use goods, and the problems and security challengesthat occur in controlling the movement of dual–use goods are also identified. It has been proven thatensuring effective control over the movement of dual–use goods requires constant improvement oflegislation, coordination between various authorities of Ukraine and EU countries, and the introductionof the latest information technologies for monitoring the movement of dual–use goods.
