The Bush administration released revisions to its export control policy on Friday that bring the United States into compliance with rules developed by the Australia Group and the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).  The revisions apply to the Export Administrations Regulations.

The main Australia Group revisions include amending the regulations to allow exporting small quantities of certain Group-controlled chemicals to CWC parties without a license and adding Cyprus and Turkey to the list of Group members.

The CWC revisions updated export license requirements to reflect measures that took effect last year (U.S. Department of Commerce release, Sept. 28).

The Australia group was scheduled to hold its annual meeting in Paris on Oct.1-4 (BTA, Sept. 28 in FBIS-EEU, Sept. 28).
