abovt countries. Great care should ther~fore be taken t~ ~reveDlt
this happening. A particular danger arises when techniCians or
students from these countries are visiting or are being trained at
British factories.
The scope of the embargo has been reduced. Items 1380 (centri-
fugal and axial flow compressors and blowers), 1410 (tankers) and
1744 (pentaerythritol tetranlitrate) have been deleted 'and there are
relaxations on other items including 1088 (gear making machinery),
1145 (liqUJid' gas containers), 1526 (communication cable), 1545
(transistors), 1572 (recording and/or reproducing equipment), 1584
(oscilloscopes), 1715 (boron), 1754 (p.t.f.e.) and 1781 (lubricants).
Items 1360, 1530 and 1566 have been amended and are now incor-
porated in the new definition of item 1355 (valve making and semi-
conductor making machinery). The overall effect has been to reduce
the coverage of these four items. Item 1255 (diesel engines) has
been transferred to the Munitions List (M.L.9) and item 1106 has
been transferred to the Atomic Energy List (A.E.l9). Only one new
item has been added to the list covering p.t.f.e. extrusion machinery
(1306). For ease of reference all amendments have been sidelined.
The list is published for the general information and guidance
of traders and does not itself have force of law; it is not a com-
plete List of goods subject to licensing control. Traders should
refer to the Export of Goods (Control) Order, 1965, as amended,
and the Strategic Goods (Control) Order, 1961, as amended, for
the complete schedule of goods which require licensing. Amend..
ments will be made as soon as possible to these Statutory Orders
to take account of the recent changes in the embargo list. In the
meantime the Export Licensing Branch will issue licences freely
for those items which are no longer embargoed.
General inquiries about the embargo should be addressed to the
Commercial Relations and Exports Department, Board of Trade, 1
Victoria Street, I..ondon, S.W.1 (Tel. Abbey 7877, Ext. 2266 or
3381) or to the appropriate Production Department. Applications
for elport or transhipment licences should be addressed to the
Export Licensing Branch, Board of Trade, Hillgatc House, 35 Old
Bailey, London, E.C.4. (Tel. City 5757), from whom further copies
?f the list may be obtained, and of whom inquiry should be made
III any case of doubt as to whether expo~t licences are required.
