REF: 2006 BLUE LANTERN GUIDEBOOK
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 050077970 for the
export of C-130 aircraft and S-61 helicopter spare parts to
Denmark. 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: Concerns about the business practices
of the U.S. applicant, Associated Aircraft, and need to
verify its relationship with the end user.
4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with
appropriate host government officials to determine if the
Danish Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization has
received the C-130 and S-61 parts and that the articles are
being used for the purpose stated on the license. Export data
indicates that items worth $2,310 shipped from the United
States on April 22, 2008. Due to lack of documentation from
the end user, post is requested to exercise its contacts
within the Danish MOD to verify this order.
END ACTION.
