DECO Releases draft regulations

DECO have released the draft regulations associated with the Defence Trade Controls Bill. Comments were due back to DECO by the 17th of February.

The regulations are very light on and seem to focus solely on the new treaty without much attention to the 'strengthening of Export Controls' side of the legislation - which is concerning given that many in the defence industry have suggested they are unlikely to use the treaty.

And just in case anyone was puzzled DECO have clarified that the two missing sections are for later use!
