Introduction
This is an addendum to update the September 1991 edition of the "Security
Export Control" (SEC) booklet and it should not be used on its own.
For clarity, changes to the text and new text added are printed in italics.
This supplement and the SEC booklet have no force in United KinSdom law,
Legal prohibitions on the exports of SQQds are contained in the ExpQrt Qf
GQQds (CQntrQ1) Order 1992 (EGCO) as amended. and the legislation implement inS
the sanctions reso1utiQns of the United Nations Security CQuncil, The EGCO,
with amendments, and sanctions legislation is available from HMSO bookshops.
This booklet is published to give exporters some guidance as to how some

applications for export licences under theEGCO for items on the COCOM lists
contained in the SEC booklet (as updated herein) to 'COCOM proscribed
destinations' may be dealt with.
THE REVISED COCOM INTERNATIONAL LISTS
This addendum summarizes the chan~es agreed to the new International

Industrial, Munitions and Atomic Energy Lists in COCOM since September 1991.
The Lists published in the 1991 SEC booklet together with this update cover
goods which COCOM has agreed should be embargoed and define COCOM conditions
under which certain embargoed goods may be considered for licensing for export
to the 'COCOM proscribed destinations'.
THE LEGAL POSITION FOR GOODS TO BE EXPORTED FROM THE UK
ExPQrters shQu1d nQte that the 1992 EGCO includes contrQ1s Qn many gQQds in
additiQn tQ those cQntained in the COCOM list, It also contains contrQ1s on
expQrts to all destinations and controls derived from other international
cQmmitments and national concerns, relating primarily tQ the prQtection Qf
public security and the prevention of the pro1iferatiQn Qf weapons Qf mass
destructiQn, The COCOM lists are reproduced in the SEC booklet and this
addendum indicate their COCOM embargo status only: nothing in these lists
should be treated as a guide to the EGCO or how a licence application under
the EGCO will be dealt with by the Department of Trade and Industry,
Goods which have been decontrolled by COCOM as indicated in this update to the
COCOM lists will continue to require United Kingdom export licences if they
are controlled by the EGCO 1992.
Although the SEC booklet and this addendum are published primarily as a guide
for exporters to the COCOM proscribed countries; goods embargoed in these
Lists also require a United Kingdom export licence for all Qther
destinations. Such goods ~ qualify under one of the Open General Export
Licences (OGELs) for certain non-sensitive destinations.
It is impQrtant fQr exporters tQ note that it is their respQnsibi1ity tQ

satisfy themse1yes as tQ whether Qr nQt a particu1Al: expQrt req.uires an expQrt
licence. Exporters who are in doubt as to the new ~OCOM control status of
goods may apply to the Sensitive Technologies Unit, Export Control
Organisation for a new 'rating', with full supporting documentation. If
known, the intended destination should be stated.
V,2.
WHAT IS COCOH ?
See definition under the same heading in the September 1991 issue of Security
Export Control (SEC) booklet.
WHICH ARE THE COCOH PROSCRIBED DESTINATIONS
Afghanistan, Albania, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belorussia, Bulgaria,

People's Republic of China, Czech Republic, Estonia, Georgia,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldavia, Mongolia,
North Korea, Poland, Romania, Russian Federation, RepUblic of
Slovakia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan, and
Vietnam.
WHY DOES THE PEOPLE's REPUBLIC OF CHINA RECEIVE DIFFERENT TREATMENT ?
COCOM agreed in 1985 to maintain a differential in the application of controls

of strategic goods to the People's Republic of China.
WHY DO POLAND, THE CZECH REPUBLIC AND THE REPUBLIC OF SLOVAKIA (formerly known
and referred to in the List and this publication as The Czech & Slovak Federal
Republic) RECEIVE DIFFERENT TREATMENT ?
COCOM agreed in 1990 to maintain a differential in the application of controls

on exports to Poland and the then Czech & Slovak Federal Republic. COCOM
partners are according favourable consideration to exports to those Eastern
European countries in transition to a democratic system. For a defined range
of goods export licences can be granted at National Discretion for exports to
these destinations (Hungary was removed from the proscribed country list with
effect from 1 May 1992 which means that export licence applications are no
longer subject to COCOM procedures but are treated in the same way as for any
other non-sensitive destination).
ESTONIA, LATVlA AND LITHUANIA
In recognition of their changing political status, COCOM agreed in 1992 to

introduce a differential in the application of controls on exports to Estonia,
Latvia and Lithuania. Export licences for certain Telecommunication equipment
covered by Category 5 can be granted at National Discretion. The Export
Control Organisation of DTI should be consulted for the latest information.
HOW CAN YOU INFLUENCE CHANGES TO THE CONTROLS ?
See guidance notes under the same heading in 1991 SEC booklet.
DO YOU NEED A LICENCE UNDER THE EGCO ?
The inclusion of goods in these lists means that you need a licence under the
EGCO to export them to any destination. HOwever, it is not an exclusive list
of goods which need licences. The 1992 EGCO includes controls on additional
goods to those contained in the COCOM list (see page 1).
- 2 -
DO YOU NEED A LICENCE UNDER THE EGCO ? (cont ... )
If you are uncertain whether you require a licence for your proposed export
you should contact the Department's Export Control Organisation, Sensitive
Technologies Unit (STU) (Telephone Enquiries and address: see back cover).
If a technical rating assessment is necessary you must provide full
supporting documentation; including a precise description of the goods to be
exported and complete technical specifications. Certain goods which contain
a computer or digital processing element may require a completed computer
questionnaire. There is also a questionnaire for the assessement of goods
covered in Category 5: Telecommunications. Technical Officers will then
assess your goods against the Export of Goods (Control) Order and provide a
formal statement on their licensing status.
When deciding whether an export licence is required exporters should refer to

the Export of Goods (Control) Order 1992 and its amendments. Exporters
should also bear in mind the provisions of Schedule 1, Part 11 to the
EGCO 1992 and any subsequent controls directed at restricting the
proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Pursuant to these
non-proliferation controls, if you intend to export any goods which are
capable of being used for chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, or
missiles capable of delivering those weapons, you should make reasonable
enquiries as to the proposed use of the goods and satisfy yourself that they
will not be so used. (The DTI booklet entitled 'Non-proliferation Controls'
is available for guidance.)
IF YOU NEED A LICENCE
See advice under the same heading in Security Export Control booklet
September 1991.
WHERE DO YOU APPLY?
See advice under the same heading in Security Export Control booklet
September 1991.
EXPORTS TO COCOH PROSCRIBED DESTINATIONS
It is the general policy of Her Majesty's Government to consult its COCOM

partners before deciding whether to issue a licence for the export of
controlled goods to a COCOM proscribed country. However, for administrative
reasons, licences for some controlled goods may be issued at 'National
Discretion'. Other goods may qualify for export under COCOM's 'Favourable
Consideration' procedure. This booklet should not be treated as a policy
statement that these procedures will be followed for any particular export
licence application, or particular items in the COCOM lists.
To make this update more "user friendly", all new text as well as changes to
the List are printed in italics. Each Note lists 1:he qualifying countries
and the applicable conditions.
- 3 -
THE TREATMENT OF TECHNOLOGY
Section E of each Category in the new Industrial List describes that

technology which is controlled. This should be read in conjunction with the
General Technology Note (to the Industrial List) and this appears in front of
the Industrial List.
Note that there are separate and different General Technology Notes in front
of the Munitions List and the Atomic Energy List.
Wi th some exception, Controls do not apply to that technology which is

the minimum necessary for the installation, operation, maintenance (checking)
and repair of products whose export has been authorised.
THE TREATMENT OF SOFTWARE
Advice given under the same heading in 1991 SEC booklet applies.
EXPORT FOR EXHIBITIONS etc
Advice given under the same heading in 1991 SEC booklet applies.
