Australia-United States Treaty on Defense Trade Cooperation

The Department of Defence recently held a series of Information Seminars on the Australia-United States Treaty on Defence Trade Cooperation, its Implementing Arrangement and proposed changes to Australian export control legislation during May – July 2008.

The seminars provided an overview of current ITAR obligations as a backdrop to a discussion of the Treaty scope, obligations and requirements for industry participation. Changes to Australian export control legislation were also discussed.

The Department will conduct further information seminars as the Treaty arrangements progress.
