1. The object of the controls contained in this Annex should not be defeated by the export of any non-controlled goods (including plant) containing one or more controlled components when the controlled component or components is/are the principal element of the goods and can feasibly be removed or used for other purposes.
NB: In judging whether the controlled component or components is/are to be considered the principal element, it is necessary to weigh the factors of quantity, value and technological know-how involved and other special circumstances which might establish the controlled component or components as the principal element of the goods being procured.
2. The items specified in this Annex include both new and used goods.

2. The ‘technology’‘required’ for the ‘development’, ‘production’ or ‘use’ of goods under control remains under control even when it is applicable to non-controlled goods.
