Roger Matthews – Brexit and its possible implications
The result of the United Kingdom’s referendum on its European Union membership has opened a veritable Pandora’s Box about the UK’s future trading relationships and more. Will ‘splitting the pack’ have diluted the EU’s effectiveness as a foreign policy player? And will the UK begin to consolidate its own unilateral approach to foreign policy and sanctions issues? How will intra-EU exports of dual-use goods be affected by BREXIT? Will long established procedures, well understood by industry, require wholesale revision? And what will BREXIT mean for trading partners with the UK from beyond the EU, such as the United States, Canada and Asia? So far, clear answers to such questions have yet to emerge (indeed, it may be months before they do). But in this presentation Roger Matthews, senior lawyer at Dechert LLP, explores how business should be taking stock of Britain’s momentous move out of Europe.
Richard Tauwhare – EU export controls on cryptography, software and The Cloud
An important session not only for providers of Cloud services – but exporters of cryptography and users of ‘the Cloud’ (and these days that includes most of us!). Richard Tauwhare, senior Director of Export Controls and Sanctions at the London office of Dechert LLP (and former head of the Arms Export Policy Department at the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office) describes the current state of EU export controls on encryption products, ‘the Cloud’ and related technology.
Richard will discuss:
- The areas subject to export controls – cryptographic hardware, software, and technology
- What is exempt and how can you tell
- Key differences between EU and U.S. controls
- Which export licences are available and when to use them
This is a must-attend session for all users of encryption products and of Cloud services – and all the more critical coming at this time of potential change in EU export controls, generally.
