Recital 33

(33) Decision (CFSP) 2024/1744 requires Union operators to contractually prohibit their commercial counterparts in third countries from using, or allowing the use of, the intellectual property rights, trade secrets or material or information protected by intellectual property rights or protected as trade secret transferred to them in connection with common high priority items to be sold, supplied or exported to Russia or for use in Russia. To ensure compliance with that obligation, Union operators should include an obligation to adopt proper remedies in such agreements. Union operators should report any breaches detected to the national competent authorities. In the case of contracts falling within the scope of this restriction that were concluded before 25 June 2024, the obligation should be considered as met if the contract contains a general clause that prohibits using, or allowing the use of, the intellectual property rights, trade secrets or material or information protected by intellectual property rights or protected as trade secret in question, and sets out adequate remedies in the event of a breach of that clause.
