Annex A
DECISIONS BETWEEN 1 JANUARY AND 31 DECEMBER
1998 TO REFUSE OR UPHOLD AN APPEAL AGAINST A DECISION TO REFUSE
AN APPLICATION OR REVOKE A LICENCE
The Committee asked the Government to provide
details of the appeals within the period covered by the Report
against (i) a decision to refuse an application for a standard
individual export licence (SIEL) or an Open Individual Export
Licence (OIEL), or (ii) to revoke a SIEL or OIEL.
As noted in the Memorandum submitted to the
Committee by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office on the roles
and responsibilities of the main departments involved in the licensing
process (HC540, pp 80-86), there is no provision in the licensing
procedure for a formal appeal against decisions to refuse or revoke
an OIEL. Such decisions do not prevent a company from applying
for a SIEL covering some or all of the same goods to any of the
destinations concerned; the factors that led to the original decision
would obviously be taken into account in the decision on any such
application.
For the period covered by the 1998 Annual Report,
the Export Control Organisation did not maintain a central record
of appeals against decisions to refuse or revoke a SIEL. Nevertheless,
15 appeals against a decision to refuse an application for a SIEL
have been identified; and no appeals against a decision to revoke
such a licence. The appeal against the original decision on 14
applications was rejected; the appeal against the original decision
on application No. 538239 was upheld and a licence issued.
The applicants are being informed that the Committee
might approach them, and that information on the relevant decisions
has been provided in confidence to the Committee.
