[1. Top-level management commitment to compliance] A written statement of support to internal compliance procedures by the top-level management promotes the company's awareness of the objectives of dual-use trade controls and compliance with the relevant EU and Member State laws and regulations. The commitment indicates clear, strong and continuous engagement and support by top-level management. It results in sufficient organisational, human and technical resources for the company's commitment to compliance. The management communicates clearly and regularly to employees about the corporate commitment in order to promote a culture of compliance. Develop a corporate commitment statement stating that the company complies with all EU and Member State dual-use trade control laws and regulations. Define the management's specific compliance expectations and convey the importance and value placed on effective compliance procedures (8). Clearly and regularly communicate the corporate commitment statement to all employees (also employees with no role in dual-use trade control) in order to promote a culture of compliance (9).
