Business Secretary Rt Hon Vince Cable has told the House of Commons of a change of policy on the licensing of exports of, and trade by British persons (trafficking and brokering) in, controlled goods and technology to military end users in Argentina. Previous policy dating from 1998 required the refusal of licences for exports and trade which would enhance Argentine military capabilities but to permit licences for goods which maintained existing capability. In practice this has meant the authorisation of the export and trade of components for maintenance purposes.
