17. January 2011, 09.00 – ca. 17.00

Venue

Fleming’s Hotel an der Neuen Börse Elbinger Str. 1 – 3, 60487 Frankfurt

Seminar fee

540 € + 19% VAT (incl. comprehensive materials, legal texts, lunch, breaks and refreshments) Register for the US Export Control Seminar 2011 on 18. January 2010 in the same hotel and receive a 10% rebate on the conference fee for the second day!

2010 saw a number of significant developments in the field of US export controls relating to military and dual-use items. These, along with a major reform effort currently underway to streamline and modernize the restrictions, licensing and reporting requirements on both dual-use and defense items will have implications for both non-US operations of US companies and European companies which deal with customers in the defense trade.

The U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and their underlying laws and related procedures are often seen as a major challenge to companies looking to do business with customers or suppliers engaged in defense-related contracts. Because the determination of whether a particular good or technology falls under coverage of the ITAR or under dual-use export restrictions (or under no restriction at all) is often not an easy one, and licensing requirements for items determined to be defense-related are vastly different and often more complex than those for dual-use items, EU-based compliance managers at companies need a good grounding in both the structure and processes underlying the ITAR.

The speakers, based in Washington, DC and Washington State, act as consultants and trainers for clients affected by US export controls and filing requirements in the USA and Europe and have many years of experience dealing with the problems and needs of the import and export industries. Both have many years of service within the US government agencies controlling defense exports, and have been key figures in the interface between the private sector and government in keeping US export controls as up to date as possible.

The seminar is intended for participants with a good grounding in EU and export controls, and will be held in English, with speakers fluent in German available for translation of technical terms and for question and answer sessions. Legal texts will be distributed and discussed in the original language (English).
