Administration's Export Reforms Are a Step in the Right Direction

摘要

President Barack Obama recently noted that the U.S. export control system is rooted in the Cold War era and must be updated to address the threats the nation faces today and in the changing economic and technological landscape.rnCurrent rules do not reflect the dramatic changes in the geopolitical and global economic realms that have occurred during the last 15 to 20 years. There are now less clear-cut distinctions between military and commercial technologies and increased availability of high-tech equipment and services from non-U.S. companies. Suppliers need greater speed and efficiency in meeting global market demands.
