CFR Citation:  15 CFR 700 to 799

Legal Deadline: None

Abstract: The United States and 27 allied countries are implementing a
new regime to succeed the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral
Export Controls (COCOM) which dissolved on March 31, 1994. The new
organization, called the Wassenaar Arrangement on Export Controls for
Conventional Arms and Dual-Use Goods and Technologies, is expected to
implement controls in April 1996. New lists of goods to be controlled
have been agreed by the members, who will each have to amend their
existing national procedures to harmonize them with the Wassenaar
Arrangement. Commerce will need to make extensive changes in the
Commerce Control List when the Wassenaar Arrangement dual-use control
list becomes effective.
