The United States is in the middle of the largest change in its export control regime in over 25 years. This Export Control Reform is rewriting the ITAR and the US Munitions List and effective October 15th 2013 moved thousands of military aircraft parts and components from ITAR jurisdiction to the jurisdiction of the US Commerce Department under the Export Administration Regulations. Far from being a simple decontrol, this Reform will result in a wide array of different compliance obligations for US exporters and the EU companies that use US origin technology, parts and components in aerospace, defence and security programs. This program will explain the reality of the new Munitions List categories, what the move to the Commerce Department really means, how the transition rules work, how the changes will affect dual and third country nationals and how Technical Assistance Agreements will be affected.
The US Export Control Reform will have impact for EU businesses using US origin technology, parts and components. What are the EU implications of the US ECR for these businesses and will the changes require the European Commission to adjust and complete some provisions of the EU Dual Use Regulation or national governments to review their national export controls rules?
