Section 8
Issuing of licences
(1) If legal transactions or actions require a licence pursuant to a provision of this Act or
an ordinance issued on the basis of this Act, the licence must be issued if it is to be
expected that the undertaking of the legal transaction or action will not endanger the
purpose of the provision or will do so only to a minor degree. In other cases, the licence
can be issued if the national economic interest in the undertaking of the legal transaction
or action will outweigh the related damage to the purpose cited in the authorisation.
(2) The issuing of the licence can be made dependent on material and personal
requirements, and particularly the reliability of the applicant. The same shall apply to the
issuing of certificates by the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control (BAFA)
stating that an export does not require a licence.
