Annex 11: The Committees' questions and the Government's answers to the Strategic Export Controls Annual Report 2010


The text of a letter from the Foreign Secretary to the Chairman of the Committees dated 7 January 2012 relating the Committees' questions and the Government's answers to the United Kingdom Strategic Export Controls Report 2010 (HC1402) follows:

Thank you for your letters of 19 October and 16 December 2011 about the Government's United Kingdom Strategic Export Controls Annual Report 2010. I apologise for the delay in responding which was due to administrative error, and I regret any inconvenience this has caused. I enclose a response which addresses the questions asked in Annex A of your letter of 19 October.

The Government attaches great importance to the work of the Committees, and values their role in scrutinising strategic arms exports. We look forward to working closely and constructively with the Committees to address their concerns in a transparent, comprehensive and timely manner. I also look forward to giving Oral Evidence before the Committees on 7 February and to receiving the Committees' Annual Report for 2012 in due course.

Annex A: Questions relating to the Government's Report - United Kingdom Strategic Export Controls Annual Report 2010- HC1402

The paragraph numbers follow those in the Government's report. In order to assist the Committees, we have provided internet links to sources where available.

Ministerial Foreword 2nd paragraph

On what grounds does the Government consider that its commitment to increasing arms exports on the one hand, and promoting democracy and human rights abroad on the other, are mutually reinforcing, rather than mutually conflicting, agendas?

Increasing defence and security exports does not by definition mean ignoring the promotion of democracy and human rights abroad. All countries have the right to an effective, secure defence and the Government will use its export licensing powers to ensure that the UK only permits responsible defence exports.

Ministerial Foreword 2nd paragraph

In what specific ways has the present Government extended transparency on arms exports data compared with the previous Government?

The Government makes available data on all export licensing applications via the BIS Strategic Export Controls: Reports & Statistics website (link below). The Government now provides an unclassified, redacted version of its answers to the Committees questions based on BIS Quarterly Reports. This began with the response to questions covering the quarter January-March 2011.

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.1

Does the Government accept that the scale and content of its revocation of extant arms export licences to countries in North Africa and the Middle East as detailed in Annex 1 of the Government's Response (Cm 8079) to the Committees on Arms Export Controls Report published on 5 April 2011 represent a serious failure by BIS, FCO, MOD, DFID, HMRC and UKBA to fulfil the first Guiding Principle of the Export Licensing Community's Joint Mission Statement namely: "We shall implement effectively the UK's framework of strategic export controls so as to ensure that sensitive goods and technology are kept out of the wrong hands?"

Revocations, on the contrary, show how seriously we take this guiding principle. Given the significant changes in the region, it would seem entirely right and reasonable that risk assessments should be updated and, in some cases, lead to a change in decision where the licence is no longer consistent with the Consolidated Criteria. There is no suggestion that the original decisions were flawed in the context of the prevailing conditions at the time they were made.

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.2

In respect of each of the extant arms export licences to countries in North Africa and the Middle East which have now been revoked, as detailed in Annex 1of Cm 8079, which were, and which are not:

a) referred to the FCO overseas post concerned for assessment against Criteria 2 and 3 before the licence was granted?

b) referred to FCO Ministers for a final recommendation, and what was their recommendation in each case and the date of their recommendation?

Risk assessments are made by the individual country officer in the Arms Export Policy Team, consulting as necessary with geographical desks and/or overseas Posts. The need to consult may be driven by a lack of specific information in relation to the equipment for export, or its intended use, or to obtain a more general update should the situation in a country change. A significant change in a country (e.g. because of upheaval) is likely to lead to an increase in advice being sought from desks and Posts because the situation on the ground is in a state of flux, or a review of licences to that particular country. Ministers are consulted about particularly difficult cases.

We do not go into detail about this process, particularly in a document that is likely to be made public. The export licensing system is based on risk assessment. Information about how risk was assessed for individual countries could have a negative impact on our bilateral relations and therefore regional stability. Providing the level of detail requested could breach commercial confidentiality in some instances and place the UK defence and security industry at a disadvantage in a competitive market.

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.2

a)  Which strategic export licence applications, and for what goods and to which countries, were referred to DFID in 2010 for that Department's specific expertise and advice? Of those applications, which were granted and which were refused, and which were granted contrary to the advice of DFID?

DFID received 266 applications to review in 2010. Please see Annex 1 for a breakdown of the countries, goods and final licensing decision made for each of these applications. DFID reviews all licences for exports to World Bank International Development Assistance eligible countries. Although the attached spreadsheet highlights multiple destinations for OIELs and OITCLs, DFID comments only on those that fall within this criterion. This is made clearer in the final column.

Of the applications seen by DFID, broken down by country,178 were issued,196 issued with proviso, 25 rejected, 14 refused and 83 stopped, withdrawn or remain outstanding. There were no instances of a licence being granted despite DFID recommending it be declined.

b) Which of the arms export licence applications to countries in North Africa and the Middle East which have now been revoked, as detailed in Annex 1 of Cm 8079, were referred to DFID for that Department's specific expertise and advice, and what was DFID's advice in each case?

None of the revoked licences listed in Annex 1of report CM8079 were circulated to DFID.

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.3

What steps will the Government take to inform the Committees on Arms Export Controls of any amendments to strategic exports control legislation it has decided to make by way of secondary legislation?

Amendments to strategic export control legislation are laid before Parliament and we endeavour, as a matter of course, to provide the Chair of the CAEC with advance written notice of this.

Amendments are also published on the legislation.gov.uk website, as well as being publicised directly to exporters via a Notice to Exporters or Awareness Bulletin and on the export control pages of both the BIS and Business Link websites:

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.3

Will the Government's relaxation of the UK's national controls on explosives-related items to bring them into line with EU controls increase the risk that such items exported from the UK may be used for internal repression or against the Armed Forces of the UK or those of other NATO and EU member countries?

No. The items in question still require an export licence to be exported to any destination outside the EU or a country other than Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland or the USA. This change simply brought the controls into line with EU-wide controls on equipment having a higher specification. In doing so we corrected an anomaly whereby equipment of a lower specification was subject to national controls which were more restrictive than EU controls on equipment of a higher specification.

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.3

a) Is the Order introducing a control on the export to the USA of sodium thiopental used in some states in the USA in the process of execution by lethal injection going to be extended beyond the maximum of 12 months?

b) What has been the European Commission's response to the British Government's request that sodium thiopental be added to the items in the EU's so-called "torture Regulation" for which export authorisation is required?

The European Commission have brought forward proposals to add to Annex Ill of Regulation 1236/2005 (the so-called torture Regulation) certain "short and intermediate acting barbiturates", including sodium thiopental and pentobarbital. This means that a licence would be required for export of any of these drugs from the EU to any destination outside the EU. It is expected that this measure will come into force in December 2011. When it does we will revoke the existing UK controls on these drugs.

The Commission have also indicated that in 2012 they will begin a broader review of the torture Regulation, including further revisions of the Annexes and consideration of the inclusion of "end-use", brokering and transit controls. These further measures will, however, require the approval of the Council (acting by a qualified majority of the Member States) and European Parliament and it is of course not possible to predict what the outcome of this review will be.

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.3

On 27 October 2010 a new EU Regulation imposing restrictive measures against Iran came into force - Council Regulation (EU) 961/2010 of 25 October 2010. Will the UK Government be introducing any new or amending any existing legislation in order to comply with the Regulation?

The Export Control (Iran) Order 2011 (SI 2011/1297) was laid in Parliament on 23 May and came into force on 13 June this year. The Order set out the new offences and penalties in relation to the elements falling within the remit of BIS of Council Regulation (EU) No. 961/2010 on restrictive measures against Iran. A copy of the Order is available to view at legislation.gov.uk.

Link: http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2011/1297/ contents/made

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.3

On 9 November 2010 Mark Prisk MP, Minister for Business, announced to Parliament that the Government would only issue licences for Annex IV items in the most exceptional circumstances. What would those circumstances be?

It is hard to envisage many circumstances where we would issue a licence for Annex IV goods to Iran. But it is conceivable that, should some sort of humanitarian emergency (an earthquake for example) develop in Iran, we may require the flexibility to provide controlled goods to aid this humanitarian effort. To date we had no occasion to issue a licence for Annex IV goods, but the statement gives us the flexibility to do so should the need arise.

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.4

a) The Government has made the policy change that from 1 July 2010 all applications for Standard Individual Export Licences (SIELs) must contain a declaration from the end-user that the goods will not be re-exported or otherwise re-sold or transferred to a destination subject to UN, EU or OSCE embargo where to do so would be a breach of the terms of that embargo. Why did the policy change apply only to Standard Individual Export Licence applications, and not all applications for strategic exports?

The policy change only applies to applications for Standard Individual Export Licences (SIELs) where an End User Undertaking is currently required. Open General Licences either already contain a specific no re-export condition or are otherwise constructed around a particular scenario (e.g. export for exhibition where the goods ultimately return to the UK) such that the question of re-export does not arise. The documentary and record-keeping requirements of each OGEL are set out clearly in the licence itself and are not affected by this new requirement.

Open Individual Export licences (OIELs) are concessionary licences and therefore already have a condition on the licence prohibiting re-export to a destination not on the licence.

b) From 1 July 2010 all End-User Undertakings must contain a declaration by the end-user that the goods will not be re-exported or otherwise re-sold or transferred to a destination subject to UN, EU or OSCE embargo. How is this monitored and enforced?

The risk of diversion to destinations subject to UN, EU or OSCE embargoes is minimised by completing a thorough risk assessment of each application received at the pre-licensing stage and this process includes careful examination of information about the proposed end-use and actual end user of the goods. The risk of diversion is, of course, considered when assessing licensing applications under Criterion 7.

The use of military equipment overseas in destinations of concern is also monitored by UK diplomatic posts, reporting on the equipment that has been supplied from the UK and how it is being used in that destination.

We also take account of a variety of different reporting on end-use which includes reports from NGOs, human rights organisation reports, media reporting, and intelligence reports. Posts overseas are instructed to report to the FCO any misuse of UK-supplied equipment.

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.6

Is the Department for Business intending to make any further developments to the ECO website in order to aid exporters? If so, what is envisaged?

The ECO's main method of communicating with exporters is online and ECO is continually endeavouring to further develop and improve its website presence. This is achieved via a number of different websites rather than a single ECO website. A summary of the planned developments of each web area is summarised briefly below:

  • www.businesslink.gov.uk - ECO's main practical guidance material is published on this cross-government portal. Businesslink are currently in the process of making some site-wide improvements including the launch of a business mentoring portal, a comprehensive resource for start up companies and a revamped events database as well as a project to simplify content across the site. ECO has input into the BL-wide content simplification project, although there not envisaged to be any significant changes to the export control pages. Recent improvements to the export control pages have included the addition of new guides on 'Exporting military goods to the United States'.
  • ECO maintains a presence on the Department for Business website. All ECO's Notices to Exporters and training course information are published via this site. ECO is currently planning to make some changes to the training pages to better promote our courses and services.
    • Checker tools database - www.ecochecker.co.uk - the ECO maintains two tools (Goods Checker and OGEL Checker) which are designed to help exporters to identify if their goods are controlled and if they might be able to register for an appropriate Open General Licence. In line with Cabinet Office web convergence guidelines, ECO is planning some changes to the Checker Tools homepage, to include clearer links and references to the ECO's other web platforms.
      • SPIRE - www.spire.bis.gov.uk - ECO is in the process of testing a number of enhancements to its export licensing database which will be made in System Release 2.14. This includes the option for exporters to create templates from existing applications and to share templates across organisations, which has been requested by a number of stakeholders.

Longer term, the ECO is mindful of ongoing developments across government websites, including moves to create a single site and work on the www.alpha.gov.uk prototype. Developments in this area will necessarily impact on any changes to the ECO's website presence, given that the push is for more centralised rather than separate sites.

ECO will keep the CAEC updated on any changes impacting on export control related content.

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.7

The ratio of errors found during compliance visits is relatively high. What steps are being taken to reduce the instances of compliance misuses?

The majority of compliance visits are first visits. The error rate on these visits is likely to be higher when a company is in its first year of using open licences.

Although the number of misuses identified in each year appears to be high, occurring in around one third of all audits, it must be remembered that this includes all types of misuse including minor administrative errors such as failing to reference the licence on commercial documentation. The numbers of more serious errors, such as an unlicensed shipment (i.e. a shipment of items that was not permitted by the particular open general licence that was used), are much lower and have actually gone down by over 50% compared to 2009.

We take all cases of misuse seriously. Persistent misuse of Open licences was the principal reason we introduced the Warning Letter and suspension procedure. This appears to have had the desired effect because, as noted above, the proportion of serious errors has fallen. Following an audit, exporters are always informed of the findings and of any remedial action required. In the majority of cases when the company is re-audited the errors have been corrected. This illustrates very well the effectiveness of the compliance audit process and the overall robustness of open licences.

We also encourage attendance at ECO's training and awareness seminars, and are able to provide company-specific on-site training. More generally we are looking at ways to improve the usability of OGELs in order to reduce the number of errors that occur through simple misunderstanding.

Section 1 Domestic Policy paragraph 1.9

a) In how many of the 134 cases of seizures in 2010 of strategic goods in breach of licensing requirements were prosecutions for strategic export offences initiated?

No prosecutions have yet been initiated involving seizures of military equipment, dual-use goods or goods subject to sanctions where the goods were seized during the financial year 2010- 2011. However, this is not unusual, as cases require a thorough criminal investigation before they are referred to the Crown Prosecution Service. It then takes time to bring a case to a conclusion through the criminal justice system.

The Government's policy is not to prosecute every offence, and each case is considered on an individual basis. The majority of cases where goods are seized at the border are of a less serious nature and are dealt with by way of a written warning and, where appropriate, a restoration penalty.

However in more serious cases, criminal investigations leading to prosecution are initiated as a result of a seizure at the border. For example, two recent prosecutions involved cases where unlicensed goods had been seized at the UK border (F14 fighter jet parts destined for Iran and telescopic sights for sniper rifles, also destined for Iran).

b) Why were only 5 prosecutions successful?

A total of five criminal prosecutions were concluded during the financial year 2010 - 2011, and they all resulted in guilty verdicts. Four of the cases resulted in custodial sentences and one resulted in a suspended sentence. The cases involved a range of military, paramilitary and dual-use goods. There were no unsuccessful prosecutions. We expect that further prosecutions will be concluded during the current financial year. This is not an area where we ordinarily expect to see large numbers of prosecutions in any given year. The Government's policy is not to prosecute every offence, and the way we deal with a case needs to be proportionate to the offence.

Since April 2010, HM Revenue and Customs has made greater use of its ability to offer compound settlements in lieu of prosecution for breaches of export licensing controls and trade controls. Fourteen compound penalties have been paid since April 2010, including one for unlicensed goods detected at the border. The compound penalties issued in these cases have ranged from £1,000 up to £239,000. An offer of a compound penalty is only made when the circumstances of the case justify an offer.

HM Revenue and Customs, the UK Border Agency and the Crown Prosecution Service maintain an active intelligence-led enforcement effort targeted against the most serious proliferation threats including deliberately non-complaint businesses and individuals. HMRC also works with BIS to deliver a joint compliance and education programme that aims to prevent breaches of the controls by providing advice and guidance to exporters and improving their awareness of their legal obligations. This reduces the risk of breaches and helps to facilitate legitimate trade.

Section 2 International Policy Table 2.3

Why is the Department for International Development only consulted when assessing an arms export licence application against Criteria 8, and not when assessments are made against Criteria 2, 3 and 4?

The FCO, MOD and DFID act in a policy advisory capacity and provides the ECO with advice and analysis on the foreign, defence and international development policy aspects relevant to consideration of export licence applications against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria.

As stated in Section 1of the Government's Annual Report, DFID provide specific expertise and advice in considering applications to those developing countries eligible for concessional loans from the World Bank's International Development Association. DFID considers export licence applications destined to all International Development Association (IDA) eligible countries against Criterion 8 and specifically, whether the proposed export would seriously undermine the recipient country's economy, and whether the export would seriously hamper the sustainable development of the recipient country. The FCO is the advisory department on Criteria 2, 3 and 4.

The Department for International Development is currently considering its role in the UK's arms export control system, including the most appropriate criteria on which to be consulted.

Section 2 International Policy paragraph 2.4

The Government produced in its Report case studies of export licence applications for:

1. body armour and night vision goggles that were to be used by Private Security Companies in Afghanistan,

2. a single armoured personnel carrier for demonstration/evaluation for the Nigerian Police Force, and

3. shields and body armour for use by the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Kyrgyzstan.

Why has the Government selected as its Case Studies relatively insubstantial export licence applications compared with the previous Government which in its 2008 Report included as a Case Study an application for an export licence for Armoured Personnel Carriers and components for the Libyan Police?

Cases studies for the 2010 report were selected to help illustrate the decision making process, and to represent accurately some of the issues considered during the course of the year, including areas of the world that threw up particular export control challenges.

Afghanistan- The UK Government wants Afghanistan to become a stable, secure state that is able to suppress terrorism and violent extremism. Our troops and civilians are working with the Afghan Government to help them combat terrorism and extremism, including in support of our own national security. The long-term future of Afghanistan depends upon the revival of its economy and the UK is supporting this through increasing trade and investment. There are sanctions in place for Afghanistan (arms embargo) which apply to those individuals designated under UNSCR 1988 (the '1988 List'). We selected Afghanistan as a case study to provide more background on why and what type of equipment is exported.

Nigeria - It is important that case studies reflect the worldwide nature of our assessments, and we chose Nigeria given that it is the UK's second largest market in sub-Saharan Africa after South Africa. The value of exports has increased steadily from £535 million in 2000 to £1.3 billion in 2009. The UK is actively involved in human rights issues and has funded a number of human rights projects in Nigeria over the past few years, including supporting work aimed at bringing an end to torture and the death penalty. Human rights abuses often occur in Nigeria as a result of communal conflict, often between communities and security forces. In recent years, violence has claimed hundreds of lives in the Niger Delta, Kaduna, Plateau, Borno and Kano States. The export licence application was for a vehicle for evaluation by the Nigerian Police.

Kyrgyzstan - Concern over civil liberties and increases in electricity tariffs led to growing discontent in Kyrgyzstan in 2010; President Bakiev was overthrown in April with ensuing civilian unrest and demonstrations being reported in the UK media. Ethnic unrest in June led to over 400 deaths, thousands being displaced and the Kyrgyz government declaring a state of emergency. The UK has a growing interest in a safe and stable Kyrgyzstan {also bearing in mind its proximity to Afghanistan). HMG has contributed almost £1 million since 2003 to support conflict prevention, criminal justice reform, election monitoring and human rights and democratisation in Kyrgyzstan and we signed a Defence Co-operation MOU in January 2006 to provide a framework for more effective support from the Kyrgyz for UK assistance in defence matters. The British All-Party Parliamentary Group on Central Asia visited Bishkek in March 2010 to sign a MOU on strengthening co-operation. The Foreign Secretary subsequently announced {11 May 2011) that the UK would open a new Embassy in Bishkek.

Section 2 Arms Trade Treaty paragraph 2.5

When does the Government anticipate agreement to the Arms Trade Treaty? What are the main issues still to be resolved to enable a consensus to be reached?

The Diplomatic Conference on an Arms Trade Treaty will take place at the UN in New York from 2 to 27 July 2012. The UK believes it is important for all UN Member States to work together at the Conference to achieve agreement on a robust and effective, legally binding ATI, and we will be striving for a successful conclusion to the Conference to this end.

Much progress has been made at the Preparatory Committee meetings, and the Chair's papers provide a solid basis for the negotiations in July 2012. There are still a range of views on what equipment should fall under the Treaty's scope; including on the inclusion of ammunition and explosives. This is true of the ATT's parameters, on issues such as human rights and sustainable development. The Conference will also need to decide what national requirements the Treaty will introduce for particular activities and types of transfer.

Section 2 Small Arms and Light Weapons (SALW) paragraph 2.6

Which states attended the Fourth Biennial Meeting of States considering the implementation of the UN Programme of Action to Prevent, Combat and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small Arms and Light Weapons in All its Aspects?

105 UN member states attended this meeting. Algeria, Andorra, Angola, Argentina, Armenia, Australia, Austria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belgium, Benin, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Botswana, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Canada, China, Colombia, Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Croatia, Cuba, Czech Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Denmark, Ecuador, Egypt, Eritrea, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Ghana, Guatemala, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Guyana, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Latvia, Lesotho, Liberia, Libya, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malawi, Malaysia, Mali, Malta, Mexico, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Panama, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Moldova, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sudan, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, FYR of Macedonia, Togo, Tunisia, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Tanzania, United States, Uruguay, Yemen and Zambia.

Section 2 Cluster Munitions paragraph 2.7

Which countries have now ratified the Convention on Cluster Munitions prohibiting the use, production, stockpiling and transfer of cluster munitions?

Afghanistan, Albania, Antigua and Barbuda, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Botswana, Bulgaria, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cape Verde, Chile, Comoros, Cook Islands, Costa Rica, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, El Salvador, Fiji, FYR of Macedonia, France, Germany, Ghana, Grenada, Guatemala, Guinea-Bissau, Holy See, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Lao PDR, Lebanon, Lesotho, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malawi, Mali, Malta, Mexico, Moldova, Monaco, Montenegro, Mozambique, Netherlands, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Niger, Norway, Panama, Portugal, Saint Vincent and Grenadines, Samoa, San Marino, Senegal, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, Spain, Swaziland, Trinidad and Tobago, Tunisia, United Kingdom, Uruguay and Zambia.

Section 2 Wassenaar Arrangement paragraph 2.8

a) Which states and international organisations participate in the Wassenaar Arrangement dealing with the accumulation and transfer of conventional weapons?

Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States, Argentina, Republic of Korea, Romania, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Slovenia, Malta, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Croatia and South Africa.

link: http://www.wassenaar.org/participants/index.html

b) The report states that "the UK plans to play a full and leading role in the Assessment Year process" for the Wassenaar Arrangement. What actions will be or have been taken to fulfil this statement?

The UK has made a broad and multi faceted contribution to the Wassenaar Arrangement (WA) Assessment process throughout 2011, and a wide range of cross Government expertise has been utilised to optimise impact and avoid duplication. The high quality UK engagement with WA Participating States during this process helped protect and promote UK interests across a number of key activities of the WA, and guide the WA towards more effective and modern practices. The UK contribution to the WA assessment has, and will, ensure that the Organisation's long term goals reflect HMG strategic objectives in the sphere of non proliferation.

The UK role in the WA assessment process was focussed on contributing to discussions aimed at improving the efficiency of the Control List reviews and consistent interpretation amongst the Participants.

Section 2 UN Register of Conventional Arms paragraph 2.9

a) Which UN member states make reports to the UN Register of Conventional Arms?

64 member states including the UK made reports to the UN Register of Conventional Arms for the calendar year 2010. These member states were: Andorra, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belarus, Belize, Bhutan, Bosnia Herzegovina, Brazil, Bulgaria, Cambodia, Canada, Chile, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Greece, Grenada, Guyana, Hungary, India, Ireland, Japan, Latvia, Lebanon, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Malaysia, Malta, Mexico, Monaco, Mongolia, Netherlands, Norway, Pakistan, Palau, Peru, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Romania, Russian Federation, Samoa, San Marino, Serbia, Slovakia, Solomon Islands, Suriname, Switzerland, FYR of Macedonia, Trinidad and Tobago, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States, Uruguay and Vietnam.

A/66/127- 12 July 2011).

b) What specific steps is the Government taking to try to ensure that more UN member states do so, and on an up-to-date annual and accurate basis, and also with the full details required by the UN?

The UK encourages other UN member states by example, i.e. submitting its complete return in a timely fashion on an annual basis. The UK has co-sponsored UN General Assembly resolutions supporting the Register, for example Resolution 64/54 in December 2009. The UK has one of the most rigorous and transparent arms export control systems in the world and encourages other states to adopt similar regimes, for example by taking a leading role in negotiating an ATI that will be robust, effective and legally binding.

Section 2 Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) paragraph 2.10

a) Which are the members of the Nuclear Suppliers Group seeking to reduce global nuclear proliferation by controlling the export and re-transfer of materials that may be applicable to nuclear weapons development, and promoting effective safeguards and the protection of existing nuclear materials?

Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, China, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Republic of Korea, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Russian Federation, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom and United States.

Link: http://www.nuclearsuppliersgrouo.org/Leng/03-member.htm

b) The 2011Plenary of the Nuclear Suppliers Group took place in Holland. What were the main outcomes from this session?

Within the framework of the NSG's mandate, concerns were shared about the proliferation implications of the nuclear programmes of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and Iran. The NSG reiterated its long-standing support for diplomatic efforts for a solution to the Iranian nuclear issue and for a solution to the DPRK nuclear issue in a peaceful manner. The NSG also: agreed to strengthen its guidelines on the transfer of sensitive enrichment and reprocessing technologies; emphasised the importance of keeping its lists up to date with technological developments and took stock of the work done for a fundamental review of the trigger and dual use lists; continued to consider all aspects of the implementation of the 2008 Statement on Civil Nuclear Cooperation with India and discussed the NSG relationship with India.

Section 2 The Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) paragraph 2.11

a) Which are the Institutes of Higher Education (IHEs) in the UK participating in The Academic Technology Approval Scheme seeking to protect certain sensitive technologies relating to Weapons of Mass Destruction and their means of delivery from possible misuse by proliferators?

The Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) is a Tier 4 student visa requirement enshrined within the UK Immigration rules. It must therefore be adhered to by all UK Higher Education Institutes, which offer courses to international students from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) and Switzerland.

b) Which are the "sensitive subjects" at each participating Institute of Higher Education for which foreign students seeking to study them must first obtain an ATAS certificate?

The scheme covers postgraduate study in a variety of subject areas ranging from medical and biological science to engineering and computer science. A full list of subjects which apply to the scheme can be found on the ATAS website.

Link: http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/about-us/ what-we-do/services-we-deliver Iatas/ who-atas/

c) Why does the Government consider that the need to protect at UK Institutes of Higher Education certain sensitive technologies relating to WMD and their means of delivery from possible misuse by proliferators arises only in the case of foreign students?

The ATAS scheme is designed to prevent those students who pose the greatest risk from studying potential WMD proliferation subjects. In order to give the broadest and most efficient coverage, ATAS is built into the Tier 4 student visa requirement.

Section 2 Australia Group paragraph 2.12

Which are the current participants in the Australia Group to prevent the proliferation of chemical and biological agents and dual-use manufacturing equipment?

b) What was the outcome of the Plenary held in Buenos Aires in April 2011?

MTCR partners discussed the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction as well as their means of delivery that constitute a threat to international peace and security. Furthermore, partners reaffirmed the importance of addressing these challenges and the role the MTCR serves in this regard.

Partners conducted extensive discussions on missile proliferation-related activities worldwide, including developments in missile programmes and their proliferation; procurement activities and techniques in support of such programmes; rapid technological change; the role of intangible technology, brokering, and transshipment in facilitating proliferation; and key technology trends in proliferation missile programmes. These discussions showed that additional export control efforts by MTCR countries could have an even greater impact. They also underlined the importance of addressing transit and transshipment issues and, in this context, the proliferation risk posed by countries with weak export controls.

Partners exchanged information on concerns about the ongoing missile programmes in the Middle East, Northeast Asia and South Asia, including Iran and North Korea, which could contribute to regional instability and supply missile proliferation activities elsewhere. Partners noted the direct relevance of UN Security Council Resolutions, inter alia, 1874 and 1929, to MTCR export controls and expressed their determination to implement these resolutions and to exercise vigilance and prevent the transfer of any items, materials, goods and technology that could contribute to WMD missile programmes of proliferation concern, in accordance with their national legislation and consistent with international law. Partners agreed to continue exchanging views on missile programme developments.

Partners reaffirmed the critical importance of the MTCR's ongoing technical work. They noted the rapid evolution of relevant technologies and the related need to take forward looking action to address these developments. They expressed their appreciation for the work of the Licensing and Enforcement Expert Meeting (LEEM), the Information Exchange Meeting (IEM) and the Technical Expert Meeting (TEM) in particular the decision adopted on amendments to the Equipment, Software and Technology Annex.

Over the past year, the outgoing MTCR Chair (Brazil) conducted outreach with Belarus, China, India, Kazakhstan, and Thailand. The incoming MTCR Chair (Argentina) intends to conduct further outreach, including with additional countries, in order to increase transparency about the Regime and promote its objectives. Partners expressed their willingness to continue extensive outreach by individual MTCR Partners to a wide range of countries. Non-Partners activities in support of the objectives and purposes of the MTCR would also be welcome.

Partners agreed to continue their individual and collective efforts to assist interested countries in implementing the missile-related export controls mandated under UN Security Council Resolution 1540, and to work with the 1540 Committee. Partners also reviewed a number of key aspects of the internal functioning of the Regime, including issues related to future membership. Partners exchanged views on their overall approaches, inter alia membership evaluation. Individual applications for membership also were thoroughly discussed, with no consensus being reached on the admission of new members at this time. The membership issue will continue to be discussed.

Section 2 Gifted Equipment paragraph 2.15 and Table 2.4

a) Does the Government attach the same controls and conditions to the equipment it gifts to overseas governments as it attaches to arms export licences it grants to commercial exporters?

The Government may agree to requests from other governments to gift to them military equipment. All gifting proposals made by Government sponsors are assessed against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export licensing Criteria by specialist licensing advisers. The Government can give provisos to the recipient of a gift where it is necessary.

b) Is the Government requiring from governments to whom it is gifting equipment the same end-use declaration it introduced from 1 July 2010 for commercial exports as described in paragraph 1.4 of the Annual Report 2010?

The Government does not currently ask for an end-user undertaking from a foreign Government recipient of gifted equipment. As the provider of the equipment, the Government would expect to have a relationship with countries to which we gift. .This allows us to understand their need and the end-use to which the equipment being gifted would be put. We would not agree to a gifting proposal where we assessed that the recipient intended to transfer the items to a destination subject to UN, EU or OSCE embargo where to do so would be a breach of the terms of that embargo.

However, we are content to consider whether there would be benefit in requiring end-user undertakings from recipients of gifts and will advise the Committee of our findings.

c) Does the Government retain the right to require the return of equipment it gifts if the controls and conditions attached to the gift are not complied with?

Once a gift has been delivered to the recipient we regard title to the item as having transferred. Were there to be evidence subsequently that the gifted equipment had been misused the Government would consider what representations it wished to make and the impact of the event on our future relationship.

d) What were the functions of the Laboratory Equipment gifted to the Iraq Ministry of Interior in 2010?

The laboratory equipment gifted to the Iraq Ministry of Interior was part of an ongoing Forensics and Criminal Justice Project to re-establish Iraqi police forensic evidence capability in Baghdad. The gift helped to re-equip the Karrada Laboratory in Baghdad following a bomb attack in January 2010. The gifted equipment restored the Iraq police capability to produce credible physical and forensic evidence to be considered as part of the criminal justice system.

e) What were the functions of the Law Enforcement Equipment gifted to the Government of Yemen in 2010?

The non-lethal equipment gifted to Yemen was part of a programme designed to reduce the use of lethal force in public order situations and address a source of grievance amongst Yemeni citizens by developing the capability to be able to deal with public order situations in an accountable and professional manner in accordance with human rights and law of armed conflict. The equipment was used to train the security forces in UK procedures and tactics so that in time the Yemenis would be able to continue their own training with UK adopting a monitoring role. However, this programme has been suspended as a result of the significant deterioration of the security situation within Sana'a since March 2011.

Section 3 Background to export licence decisions paragraph 3.1

a) Why is the provision of technical assistance where the provider knows or has been made aware that the technical assistance will be used for "WMD Purposes" only controlled outside the EU, and not inside the EU also?

These controls implement the UK's obligations under European Union Joint Action of 22 June 2000 concerning control of technical assistance related to certain military end-uses (2000/401/CFSP). The Joint Action only provides for such controls where the end-use is in a destination outside the EU.

b) Why is the rating given to items that the exporter has been told, knows or suspects are or may be intended for "WMD Purposes" described as "End-Use" and not "WMD End-Use"?

This is merely convention. The rating for items where the exporter has been informed, knows or suspects that the items may be used for a "military end-use" in a destination subject to an arms embargo is "MEND". However the vast majority of "end-use" cases are WMD end-use rather than military end-use and so it is understood that "End Use" refers to WMD End-Use.

c) Why is the transfer of technology by any means where the person making the transfer knows or has been made aware that the technology is for "WMD Purposes" only controlled outside the EU, and not inside the EU also?

These controls implement the UK's obligations under European Union Joint Action of 22 June 2000 concerning control of technical assistance related to certain military end-uses (2000/401/CFSP). The Joint Action only provides for such controls where the end-use is in a destination outside the EU.

Section 3 General Note on Licensing Data paragraph 3.2

a) What are the "certain conditions" that have to be met if controlled goods being transhipped through the UK en route from one country to another pre-determined destination are made exempt from control?

The conditions are set out in Article 17 of the Export Control Order 2008. In general, a transhipment licence is not required where:

(a) the goods in question remain on board a vessel or aircraft for the entire period that they remain in the United Kingdom or are goods on a through bill of lading or through air waybill and in any event are exported before the end of the period of 30 days beginning with the date of their importation;

(b) the destination of the goods in question following exportation from the United Kingdom has been determined in the country from which they were originally exported prior to their original exportation in connection with the transaction which has given rise to transit or transhipment and has not been changed prior to their exportation from the United Kingdom, or the goods are being returned to that country; and

(c) the goods in question were exported from that country in accordance with any laws or regulations relating to the exportation of goods applying there at the time of exportation of the goods.

However, a transhipment licence will always be required for:

(a) anti-personnel landmines and components specially designed for them; (b) Category A goods;

(c) equipment, software or technology falling within entry ML18, ML21or ML22 in Schedule 2, specifically related to anti-personnel landmines or Category A goods;

(d) controlled goods being exported to a destination specified in Part 1of Schedule 4;

(e) military goods being exported to any country or destination specified in Part 2 or 3 of Schedule 4;

(f) Category B goods being exported to any country or destination specified in Part 4 of Schedule 4.

(g) any goods where the exporter has been informed, knows or suspects that the goods are or may be intended in their entirety or in part for WMD purposes.

b) Why is there no Open Individual Transhipment Licence?

There are very few transhipment licences issued in any one year. There has therefore never been a business need for an Open Individual Transhipment licence.

c)  Why do Trade Controls not apply to software and technology?

The powers to impose trade controls were introduced in section 4 of the Export Control Act 2002 in order to address specific concerns regarding the trafficking and brokering of military goods between overseas destinations. There is a separate power to impose controls on transfers of technology (including software) in section 2 of the Export Control Act 2002.

Section 3 Information on SIELs. SITLs. OIELs. SITCLs and OITCLs paragraph 3.3

Why are the exporters holding Open Individual Export Licences (OIELs) not asked to provide details of the value of goods that they propose to ship?

OIELs are concessionary licences that are specific to an individual exporter and cover multiple shipments of specific items to specific destinations. Depending on the type of OIEL they can be valid for up to five years, have no quantity limits and are not usually restricted to specific end users. OIELs are usually only issued for low risk transactions and where the exporter has demonstrated a specific business need, for example to fulfil long-term maintenance contracts. Therefore it is not usually possible for exporters to gauge in advance the value of ongoing multiple shipments. If the Government had concerns about the quantity or value of goods to be exported we would reject the OIEL application and require SIELs instead.

Section 3 paragraph 3.5 and Table 3.6 Reasons for Refusals and Revocations of SIEL and SITCL applications

a) Will the Government state the number of revocations in this table, and the case of each revocation the goods concerned, the country of destination, and the Criterion (using the same 11 categories as in Table 3.6) under which the licence was revoked?

There were no revocations in 2010. Tables 3.1 and 3.4 give a clearer breakdown of how applications were considered in 2010.

b) Will the Government state in the case of each refusal in this table the goods concerned, the country of destination, and the Criterion (using the same 11 categories as in Table 3.6) under which the application was refused?

More detailed information on refusals and revocations can be found within the Annual Report pivot report, under each destination. However, please find attached at Annex 2 a list of 'refusals and the Criterion they were refused under (in brackets).

Link: https://www.exportcontroldb.berr.gov.uk/eng/retrieveByStoragelocation/5275 Stra tegic export con.pdf?thread id=B4hQU2R EmmBz2Pke&app mnem=sdb&module=SDBHO ME&storagelocation=SDBPUBLISHED-DOC-Sl-BlOB&wsiCacheKey

c) Will the Government provide the same information for refusals and revocations of OIELs and OITCLs, and in the same format as that requested for SIELs and SITCLs in a) and b) immediately above?

OIELs and OITCLs are concessionary licences and are therefore usually "rejected" rather than "refused". Rejection of an OIEL or OITCL does not mean that a Standard Individual licence would be refused. In many cases we need to give the proposed transaction greater scrutiny, and need information about end-users and quantities/values to be exported as well as requiring an end-user undertaking, before deciding whether or not to issue a licence. This can only be done if the application is for a SIEL or SITCL In these cases the reasons for refusing/revoking SIELs/SITCLs are not applicable to decisions to reject OIELs/OITCLs.

Section 3 Open General Export Licences (OGELs) paragraph 3.7 and Table 3.7

a) What are the shipments and destinations that are eligible for OGELs and what are the "certain conditions" that have to be met for an OGEL?

Each Open General Export licence has its own terms and conditions, with a list of permitted destinations for the goods described. The various OGELs available can be found on the ECO website.

link: http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/OGELS

b) Why are there a small number of Open General Transhipment Licences for which registration with BIS's Export Control Organisation is not required and what are the details of these licences?

The main purpose of registration is to identify who is making use of the licence and to determine where records are to be kept so that ECO may conduct compliance audits. In the case of transhipment the goods simply pass through the UK en route from Country A to Country B. The exporter, and usually the shipping agent as well, will be established outside the UK. It is highly unlikely that we would be able to conduct audits of overseas companies and therefore registration serves no useful purpose in relation to transhipment.

Section 3 Performance in processing licence applications paragraph 3.8

a) The number of SIELs processed within 20 working days fell significantly from the previous two years, resulting in missing the target. What was the reason for this fall and what steps have or are being taken to rectify the situation?

In 2010, 63% of SIELs were finalised within 20 working days against a target of 70% compared with 73% in 2009 and 2008. There were two reasons for this fall. Firstly, in 2010 SIEL volumes were up 32% on 2008, and 18% on 2009. Secondly, ECO staff numbers reduced from 90 in 2008 to 79 in 2010 as a result of BIS restructuring.

ECO has, therefore, had to adapt so that it can deal with a rapidly growing workload with shrinking resources but with growing customer expectations. Over recent years we have worked up ambitious programmes of change to take forward measures that can achieve major reductions in the overall administrative burden on business of the export licensing process by making significant improvements in ECO's own efficiency and risk management processes. This will continue.

b) The target for the number of appeals to be completed within 20 working days was also not met and was significantly down from the previous two years. Why and what is being done to ensure that the target is met in the future?

We recognise that performance on appeals was lower in percentage terms than the previous year, but this should be viewed in the context of a 25% increase in the total number of appeals. Naturally, any fall in performance is regrettable but as the Committees will appreciate appeals are particularly difficult cases to deal with. That said we continue to look for ways to improve efficiency across the board and are hopeful that this fall {in percentage terms) 2010 was a temporary phenomenon. The Committees will wish to be aware that in spite of the increase in appeals {in numerical terms), the number of successful appeals actually fell from 14.9% in 2009 to 3.4% in 2010. This statistic is testament to the rigour of the initial decision.

Annex C Information Required for the UN Register of Conventional Arms

Will the Government provide a revised copy of Annex C with all the explanatory notes that are currently missing, or unclear, included or clarified as necessary?

The explanatory notes referred to in Annex C of the Annual Report are those notes attached to the standardised forms that the UN sends out annually for completion by member states. A copy of Annex C with the standardised form and its explanatory notes added is attached as Annex 3.
