3rd Advanced Conference on

ITAR Compliance in Europe

Wednesday, June 02 to Thursday, June 03, 2010

C5’s Advanced Conference on ITAR Compliance in Europe is The must-attend event for Export Controls and Compliance Officers of multinational companies involved in buying, retransferring and re-exporting International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”)-controlled items or technical data. Last June 2009, your colleagues have attended our successful event in Munich to network and hear from the leading export compliance officers, legal experts and ITAR export controls regulators on best risks management strategies and the latest enforcement actions.

European companies must ensure that their import/export practices and global supply chains are compliant with a complex set of U.S. export controls regulations, EU export controls Law and national export controls laws. Violations of ITAR can result in severe civil, criminal penalties and in probationary or suspension order affecting export privileges under the ITAR and other national export controls systems.

Implementing and maintaining effective internal compliance systems are companies’ first defence. They will help to detect and prevent even any inadvertent violation across the organisation. In this current economic climate, companies can not afford costly penalties which can be avoided through proactive and adequate internal controls.

Don’t miss the 2010’s advanced conference which will not only provide attendees with an update on ITAR regulatory and enforcement developments but also, organise forums to share best practices and practical recommendations through real-life scenario and case studies based on daily challenging situations.

Key Topics include:

  • Understanding and overcoming key compliance challenges when operating as a foreign broker of U.S. defence articles
  • Latest developments on the continuous ITAR enforcement in Europe in the light of recent consent agreements
  • State of the transposition of the New Directive on Intra-EU transfers of defence products into Members States legislation
  • Managing the export control process of US Suppliers–Manufacturers of ITAR component
  • Ensuring that Europe-based importers are involved in the drafting of TAAs, MLAs, WDAs & DSP-5s
  • Identifying and overcoming internal objections likely to jeopardize internal compliance efforts
  • Best practices in dealing with sub-contractors, foreign commercial intermediaries, IT and other service providers to mitigate compliance risks
  • Deemed export issues: Complying with restrictions on foreign national employees
  • Implementing a cost-effective ITAR compliance programme that incorporates European and national export controls regulations
