In August 2009, the European Union implemented changes to its dual-use export control regime for the first time in a decade. These significant reforms will have an impact on the compliance programs of all firms doing business in Europe, as well as

U.S.

companies that export goods or technology to any of the 27 countries belonging to the EU or ship items through those nations. Included in the changes are new rules for “brokering services.” This timely program will provide you with an overview of the changes that became effective with implementation of new Council Regulation No. 428/2009. It also will offer a brief refresher on the existing EU dual-use regulations and key obligations; a heads up to new WMD and military end-use brokering controls and an explanation of the new controls on non-EU items in transit through the EU. There also will be an introduction to EU trade embargoes and sanctions, with a focus on

Iran

, and recent changes to those sanctions. You can receive an update on these new rules and their implications for your business by signing up for our next audio-conference briefing on Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Our featured speakers are two experts on EU export controls from the London office of Baker & McKenzie, LLP: Senior Associate Sunny Mann and Associate James Robinson.
