The first annual Trade Controls Summit, held on 20 November 2013 in Canberra was a successful event attended by 150 members of Australian industry.
Presentations at the one-day event included:
An update on Australia's Strengthened Export Controls (DECO)
An overview of the Australian Export Best Practices Guide (Thales)
Trade Sanctions and Related Controls (DFAT)
A panel on managing U.S. Export Controls (Raytheon, BAE, Thales)
Implication of the U.S. "600 Series" reforms (Thales)
Developing an Approved Community for the U.S.-AU Trade Treaty (DoD)
The role of Customs in supporting trade control outcomes (Customs)
Managing the supply chain in a trade controlled environment
Jason Brown of Thales, who chaired the Steering Committee organising the event said that there was a clear mandate by industry to not only continue to hold this conference annually, but to create an industry body that would act to communicate the interests of primes and SMEs to government. Over the course of 2014, Jason hopes to expand the AI Group's Export Control Forum to a larger body that would accomplish this task.
