Establishment of New General License for Shipments to Country Groups QWY and the People's Republic of China

Riepilogo

The Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) has agreed to cease functioning on March 31, 1994. The current control lists will be retained by the member nations until a successor regime is established. To help make the transition, the United States is establishing a new General License GLX, which will allow certain shipments to civil end-users and end-uses in formerly proscribed destinations. This new general license will reduce paperwork and licensing delays for exporters, and will focus controls on exports that are of direct strategic concern.
