What is COCOM?
The Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Control. An informal non-treaty organisation of 16 countries
operating according to the rule of unanimity. It comprises members of NATO, less Iceland plus Japan.
British companies requiring general advice on US export controls or experiencing difficulties with US regula-
tions should contact the DTI, OT2/1B, Room 576, 1 Victoria Street, London SW1H OET (tel 01-2154611).
