BIS Lifts Ban on Arms Exports to Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
 
 January 15, 2003
 

Effective November 25, 2002, the Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) has amended the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) to remove the special controls on the export and re-export of arms-related items to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro) (FRY). Consequently, arms-embargo-based licensing requirements for exports and re-exports of certain items subject to the EAR (e.g., water cannon) to the FRY are removed, and a case-by-case license review policy is reinstated for the export and re-export of items controlled for regional stability and crime-control reasons. This rule is consistent with United Nations Security Council (UNSC) Resolution 1367 of September 10, 2001, which terminated the international arms embargo against the FRY mandated by UNSC Resolution 1160 of March 3, 1998. A copy of the amended rule is available online at http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422/14mar20010800/edocket.access.gpo.gov/2002/02-29222.htm.
