Export controls imposed by the UK Government and the European and be quite sure we comply with them. The purpose of these controls is to limit the supply of technology or strategic goods to countries proscribed, principallyCommunity affect a proportion of the products we see and many of our potential overseas markets. We must therefore understand the controls for reasons of proliferation, security or terrorism. It is in the interest of us all that the controls are effective. For our business it is essential that we comply with the legislation: failure to do so would bring serious penalties for the company and for the individuals concerned.
"I have nominated Tanya Price to be the person with overall responsibility within the company for export control matters and she will continue to review the effectiveness of our current procedures in light of the BERR (Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform) Code of Practice to which we must adhere. Each of us in turn must be aware of our own role and ensure that no items are despatched (remembering that this term now covers the transmission of software or technology by fax, telephone or other electronic media and arranging to move goods between third countries) without due clearance and authorisation. Information is available on how export controls affect your position within company procedures; make sure you are aware of that information".
George Howe - Managing Director
