DUAL USE. 10.1 The Parties agree that should one or more Products - in relation to certain specific orders or customers - be qualified as “dual use” goods pursuant to national and/or EU regulations in force from time to time, the Purchaser shall promptly notify Transtecno S.r.l. in writing of all details relating to said order and final customers. In such case, each of the Parties undertakes to comply with the obligations provided for by the relevant regulations (by way of example but not limited to requesting and obtaining authorizations, informing the competent authorities, preparing documentation and keeping records, etc.).

DUAL USE. The potential uses of intelligent machine advances in remote-controlled weaponry is a well-recognized concern. 91 In recent years there has been much controversy about the military use of semi-autonomous drones to attack enemy combatants. 92 However there are many other potential military applications from new advances in computing such as battlefield enhancement of soldiers and new forms of intelligence gathering. In the USA, the Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is one of several agencies providing the overall budget for the BRAIN Initiative. DARPA’s goals in brain research are partly related to veterans’ after-combat mental health, but there is also an explicit interest in enhancing the combat effectiveness of military personnel, and in other technologies, such as ‘brain reading’ technologies, that may have uses in the security apparatus. 93 In Europe, the situation is different, in that the HBP is committed not to accept military research funding or to engage in research with direct military application. However, history shows us that civilian scientific and neuroscientific research has often resulted in military applications, over which the original researchers have little control. For example, shortly after acetylcholine was discovered to be a neurotransmitter, the G- series of nerve agents (including xxxxx) was discovered during civilian research into pesticides. Other civilian discoveries led to the more deadly V-series, as well as the development of ‘incapacitants’ sometimes thought to be ‘less lethal’ but with potentially lethal consequences.94 There are parallels here with current research in artificial intelligence. ‘Brain-like machines’ are likely to have numerous civilian applications ranging from self-driving cars and medical informatics, to brain controlled prosthetic limbs. Yet these developments may also directly or indirectly lead to complex (autonomous) weapons systems and new potentials for intelligence gathering and surveillance. Thus, despite the prohibition on military funding and applications in the HBP, the advances in knowledge and technologies that it produces, and the basic ICT and robotics tools that it generates, are likely to have an indirect, medium-term impact in the field of defence and security. The challenges raised by such potential ‘dual use’ issues will be the subject of a subsequent report by the Foresight Lab.
DUAL USE. Mixed Land Uses. Off-street parking required for developments which incorporate mixed land uses may be shared if it is demon- strated in the Development Plan submittals that sharing of the same parking spaces is feasible. Peak parking demands for each land use must be complementary.
DUAL USE. In designing strategies to target biological macromolecules to cross biological barriers, there is always the potential for mis-use of this knowledge by others for harm, such as the development of biological weapons utilising the targeting strategies developed within the project. Every effort will be made to ensure responsible use of the data generated, and that the targeting strategies developed are unlikely to exploitable for harm. Consideration of this aspect will be included in the project risk register which will be utilised to monitor the potential risks to and from the project’s success. In the event that dual use is discovered, all relevant parties within the research institution will be notified along with the commission. The potential dual use implication will be examined and reported upon.
DUAL USE. 15.1 The refusal and/or export ban decisions, or any other kind of measures that could limit or forbid the exportation of the Property of the Lessor from Italy or from any other countries of the European Union, issued from the competent Italian and/or European Union and/or another European Union member State Authority, against the Lessor could lead, first to the suspension and, eventually, to the total cancellation and/or annulment of the order, without the Lessor being responsible of such events and thus being the latter exempted from any liability, even in terms of damages.
DUAL USE. In addition, The Foresight Lab collaborated with T12.3.3 and WP4.5, the European Institute for Theoretical Neuroscience, to organise a HBP seminar on Dual Use of Future Computing and Robotics, on 10-11 March 2016. The material coming out of this seminar will not be reported here, but will be used in future research activities of WP12.1 under the SGA1.
DUAL USE. 15.1 The Customer declares to be aware of the existence of European Union regulation concerning the transfer of DUAL USE technologies and the fact that any decision of the Italian and / or European competent authority and / or of a State member of the European Union can restrict or prohibit the export of equipment from Italy or from another European country, and that in such event the Seller shall not be held responsible in any way or for any reason whatsoever.
