As written.

[2. Organisation structure, responsibilities and resources] Dual-use trade control staff should be protected as much as possible from conflicts of interest. This staff is entitled to directly report to the person(s) with the overall responsibility for dual-use trade controls and should additionally have the power to stop transactions. [ ] Make sure that dual-use trade control staff is protected as much as possible from conflicts of interest. Depending on the size of the company, the responsibility for compliance may be laid down at a suitable department or division. For example: person(s) making the final decision whether goods can be shipped, are not part of the sales department, but part of the legal department. Allow this staff to function as expert advisors to guide company decisions resulting in compliant transactions.
