1. This is an Action Request. See paragraphs 2-4.
2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Embassy's assistance in
conducting a post-shipment check on license 050060873 for the
export of C27J aircraft wing components to Italy. Embassy is
requested to complete this Blue Lantern check within 45 days.
Lack of response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending
and future licenses involving parties to this license.
3. Reason for request: Unusual routing of export to Italy
via the Czech Republic.
4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with
appropriate host government officials to determine if the
Italian Air Force (IAF) has received the C27J aircraft
components and that the articles are being used for the
purpose stated on the license. Can the IAF explain the exact
role of Alenia and Aero Vodochody on this transaction? Are
they providing integration or manufacturing services or just
acting as parts purchasers? Note: items were shipped in full
from the U.S. on December 20, 2007. END ACTION.
