Question to the Department for International Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, what the (a) dates, (b) end users and (c) licence types were for (i) approved and (ii) denied applications for Internet Protocol network communications (A) surveillance systems and (B) equipment coded 5A001J in the UK Strategic Export Control List.
The following licences (all Standard Individual Export Licences or SIELs) have been granted:
Application Type | Outcome | End User Type | End Use Countries | Annual Report Summary | Finalised |
SIEL (Temporary) | Issue | Commercial | Czech Republic | internet protocol network communications surveillance equipment | 11/05/2016 |
SIEL (Temporary) | Issue | Commercial | United States | components for internet protocol network communications surveillance equipment | 10/03/2016 |
SIEL (Permanent) | Issue | Government | Singapore | internet protocol network communications surveillance equipment | 24/02/2016 |
SIEL (Permanent) | Issue | Government / Law Enforcement | United Arab Emirates | internet protocol network communications surveillance equipment | 07/07/2015 |
No licence applications were refused. The table includes the end user types but I am withholding the actual names of the end users as disclosure would prejudice commercial interests. Temporary licences are granted with conditions to return the items licensed within the period of the validity of the licence, usually twelve months.
All export licence applications are assessed on a case-by-case basis against the Consolidated EU and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria.
