Such a notification would set a perfect tone for the
high-profile US trade delegation's tour of India.
Over 70 companies applied to participate in the
upcoming mission, which will make stops in New Delhi, Mumbai,
and Bangalore, in order to promote US exports of high
technology products and services in key economic sectors:
civil-nuclear trade, defence and security, civil aviation, and
information and communications technology.
When asked about the proposed license exception which
the Commerce Department published in December, a senior
official clarified that these had two primary groups of
countries.
India was included in the group of countries to which
Wassennar Basic List items could be exported without a license
under certain conditions, the official said.
The second group of countries was limited to nations
that are members of the four multi-lateral export controls
regimes or NATO members that are members of at least three of
the regimes. India is not a member of all four regimes or a
NATO member, the official explained. PTI LKJ
