Hi
The guidelines
http://www.exportcompliance.eu/index.php/en/99-latest-news/136-european-unionpublishes-new-open-licences-or-eu-general-export-authorisations-for-export-of-controlled-dual-use-items
seem detailed but then refer you back to your own country’s control authority when in doubt.
So I would suggest you would be better contacting the ECO directly
