Goods and technologies for military use: licensing obligations
In Poland, manufacturing and trading in technologies and devices for military or police use is a strictly regulated economic activity requiring a licence. But simply obtaining a licence is not the end of contacts with regulators. Changes in corporate authorities and some changes in ownership require notification to the relevant authority. Failure to comply with the notification obligation may lead to restriction or even revocation of the licence.
