Defence Trade Control Developments

One of the main catalysts for the changing regulatory framework is globalisation and the reduction of defence budgets. These challenges make it imperative for defence manufacturers to capitalise upon emerging and foreign markets to harness available opportunities.

SAE Media Group’s Defence Trade Controls Conference will address specific efforts to regulate military exports, looking at lessons learned and the requirements which have been identified by industry. The conference will address the role of export control systems, country specific export licensing regulations and international traffic in arms import and export regulations. It will also discuss procurement issues, trade barriers and the future of export control policies.

Gain an insight from leading experts in the field, including:

  • Ulf Brühann, Conseiller, DG Enterprise, European Commission
  • Spencer Chilvers, Head, International Policy Unit, Export Control Organisation, Department of Trade and Industry, UK
  • Jean-Luc Vo Van Qui, Director, Technology and Strategic Exports Control, General Secretariat for National Defence, France
  • Claus Warnken, Deputy Head, Conventional Arms Export, Ministry of Economics and Technology, Germany

  • Matthijs C Wolters, Head, Arms Control and Arms Export Policy Division, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Netherlands
  • Richard Hesse, Chairman, Export Control Committee, AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD)
  • Dr Eugene Kogan, Independent Defence Industry Analyst

Chaired by:

Dr Alexandra Ashbourne, Director, Ashbourne Strategic Consulting

The aims and objectives of the conference are to…

EXPLORE the changing role and reform of military export licensing

LEARN about the current and future implementation of export licences

HEAR about governments’ efforts of enhancing transparency and control

    WHAT IS CPD?

    CPD stands for Continuing Professional Development’. It is essentially a philosophy, which maintains that in order to be effective, learning should be organised and structured. The most common definition is:

    ‘A commitment to structured skills and knowledge enhancement for Personal or Professional competence’

    CPD is a common requirement of individual membership with professional bodies and Institutes. Increasingly, employers also expect their staff to undertake regular CPD activities.

    Undertaken over a period of time, CPD ensures that educational qualifications do not become obsolete, and allows for best practice and professional standards to be upheld.

    CPD can be undertaken through a variety of learning activities including instructor led training courses, seminars and conferences, e:learning modules or structured reading.

    CPD AND PROFESSIONAL INSTITUTES

    There are approximately 470 institutes in the UK across all industry sectors, with a collective membership of circa 4 million professionals, and they all expect their members to undertake CPD.

    For some institutes undertaking CPD is mandatory e.g. accountancy and law, and linked to a licence to practice, for others it’s obligatory. By ensuring that their members undertake CPD, the professional bodies seek to ensure that professional standards, legislative awareness and ethical practices are maintained.

    CPD Schemes often run over the period of a year and the institutes generally provide online tools for their members to record and reflect on their CPD activities.

    TYPICAL CPD SCHEMES AND RECORDING OF CPD (CPD points and hours)

    Professional bodies and Institutes CPD schemes are either structured as ‘Input’ or ‘Output’ based.

    ‘Input’ based schemes list a precise number of CPD hours that individuals must achieve within a given time period. These schemes can also use different ‘currencies’ such as points, merits, units or credits, where an individual must accumulate the number required. These currencies are usually based on time i.e. 1 CPD point = 1 hour of learning.

    ‘Output’ based schemes are learner centred. They require individuals to set learning goals that align to professional competencies, or personal development objectives. These schemes also list different ways to achieve the learning goals e.g. training courses, seminars or e:learning, which enables an individual to complete their CPD through their preferred mode of learning.

    The majority of Input and Output based schemes actively encourage individuals to seek appropriate CPD activities independently.

    As a formal provider of CPD certified activities, SAE Media Group can provide an indication of the learning benefit gained and the typical completion. However, it is ultimately the responsibility of the delegate to evaluate their learning, and record it correctly in line with their professional body’s or employers requirements.

    GLOBAL CPD

    Increasingly, international and emerging markets are ‘professionalising’ their workforces and looking to the UK to benchmark educational standards. The undertaking of CPD is now increasingly expected of any individual employed within today’s global marketplace.
