BLUE LANTERN PRE-LICENSE END USE CHECK ON

UNCLAS STATE 045545 SIPDIS SIPDIS FOR POL MICHAEL C. KEAYS E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ETTC IS KOMC SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN PRE-LICENSE END USE CHECK ON APPLICATION 05-050100199 AND 05-050100378 ¶1. This is an action message. See paragraphs 2-4. ¶2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests post assistance in conducting a pre-license check for the export of riot control equipment to Israel. Post is requested to complete this Blue Lantern check within 30 days. Lack of response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending and future licenses involving parties to this license. ¶3. Reason for request: inconsistencies were noted in the license application supporting documents. Both licenses list the Israel Police as the Foreign End User. The DSP-83 Non-Transfer and Use Certificates, however, list different Foreign End Users: the Israel Police and the Israel Prison Service. ¶4. ACTION: Please contact the Foreign End User, the Israel Police, and verify its request for the exact quantities and specific types of commodity listed on each license below. If possible, please speak directly with the person who signed the DSP-83 included with license 05-050100378, Ran Sabati of the Israel Police Purchasing Department. Please also contact the Israel Prison Service and speak with the person who signed the DSP-83 included with license 05-050100199, Chief Weapons Officer Eitan Ben-Avi. Ask Mr. Ben-Avi if he remembers signing this document for the riot control equipment listed on the license, even though the equipment is actually destined for the Israel Police. END ACTION. ¶5.
