Reinsch on Export Controls, Wassenaar Arrangement
(Administration wants to improve export controls focus) (4120)
[...]
Thus, our equation is: exports = healthy high-tech companies = strong
defense. Cripple our companies by denying them the right to sell, and
you set back our own military development.
[...]
With respect to export controls, this update rests on three
principles: one-time technical review, post-export reporting, and
government review of exports to foreign government and military
organizations and to nations of concern. Under this new policy,
encryption commodities or software of any key length may be exported
under a license exception, after a technical review, to commercial
firms and other non-government end users in any country except the
seven state supporters of terrorism. Further, retail encryption
products may also be exported under a license exception to government
end users in any country except to the seven state supporters of
terrorism, after a technical review. Only non-retail products being
exported to government end users will require an individual license.
Two weeks ago we circulated to our industry colleagues a draft
regulation for their further review and comment. We expect the final
product to be published by December 15.
