Comments on: U.K. Legislative Committee Tackles Brokering Issues http://www.exportlawblog.com/archives/219 Latest News on DDTC, BIS, OFAC, and other export law matters Wed, 07 Jan 2009 02:49:30 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Mike Deal http://www.exportlawblog.com/archives/219#comment-3751 Mike Deal Thu, 30 Aug 2007 13:33:29 +0000 http://www.exportlawblog.com/archives/219#comment-3751 I agree that under the AECA and the ITAR is not discretionary, the fact is that State has been holding up on registrations, especially for small manufacturers that are subcontractors to defense contractors, for no good reason. It has been a real problem for subs whose only requirement for an export license is to allow a foreign national engineer who already has a non-immigrant visa to work on a defense contract. GAO and/or State's IG need to investigate what's really going on.
