Follow on Google News | AEB launches Global Trade Compliance Campaign ahead of U.S. Export Control ReformAEB (International) Ltd is launching a comprehensive global trade compliance campaign ahead of the Obama Administration’s upcoming export control reform (ECR) changes.
• AEB is sponsor and exhibitor at 26th Annual Global Trade Controls Conference, 5th & 6th November 2013 AEB (International) The U.S. Department of State's Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) and the U.S. Department of Commerce's Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) have now finalised the first two sets of rules, redefining how the U.S. Government protects sensitive technologies and regulates exports of munitions and commercial items with military applications. The first set of rules will take effect on 15th October 2013, while the second set was issued in July and will take effect on 6th January 2014. How these changes affect companies outside the U.S. and what they are required to do are crucial and urgent questions for British businesses. To help them understand the impact of the new rules, AEB is launching various export controls initiatives to raise awareness and educate companies about compliance obligations. Amongst AEB’s compliance initiatives is the sponsorship of the 26th Annual Global Trade Controls (GTC) Conference, organised by IBC Global Conferences. This essential industry event for global export control compliance will take place on 5th and 6th November at the Royal Garden Hotel in London, with pre- and post-conference workshops about “Export licensing and trade controls” and “Understanding defence trade controls” on 4th and 7th November, respectively. On this occasion, participants can network with government officials and peers in the areas of export controls and compliance, and will also have the opportunity to take part in three problem-solving clinics about due diligence and export controls, developing a technology control plan, and privacy laws and screening. AEB (International) AEB’s General Manager Claire Umney said: “We are proud to be sponsoring the 26th IBC Global Trade Controls Conference, as it is the leading industry event for global trade compliance professionals and export controls experts. With the upcoming export control reform, it’s crucial for U.K. companies handling U.S. controlled items or data to understand U.S. re-export controls and re-transfer rules, and how U.S. export controls differ from national controls. We are looking forward to discussing the latest changes and requirements with UK businesses at the event, and to demonstrating how our ASSIST4 solution suite can help them to best manage current and upcoming compliance obligations to their advantage.” The conference takes place at the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, 2-24 Kensington High Street, London W8 4PT.
