YEMEN, TURKEY AND LEBANON REMOVED FROM SOME UK OPEN GENERAL EXPORT LICENCES

On 18 February, the Department for International Trade announced that Yemen and Lebanon had been removed from the permitted designations under certain OGEL (which allow simplified export process for certain goods and destinations).  Turkey has also been removed from the OGEL concerned with military components’ export, and the Italian Continental Shelf has been added as permitted export designation on 2 OGEL.  In addition, a new OGEL, concerned with cooperation under the Airbus A400 military transport aircraft programme, has been published, and another, concerned with the F-35 fighter programme, has been reinstated.
