Pakistan Export Control System

[nirreich]

Pakistan has advanced strategic capabilities, technologies and materials, and yet it is not clear what are the procedures in Pakistan to prevent unauthorised export of this equipment.

Pakistan's Export Control Act of 2004 does not specify the procedures for authorising an export of dual-use equipment and which agencies are involved in this mechanism. The designated authority for export controls - the Strategic Export Control Division (SECDIV) - seems without a definite authority and lacks the resources to implement the Export Control Act.

Furthermore, it is not clear how actually the export control system supervise the strategic organisations - KRL, PAEC, NESCOM, DESTO, NDC, SUPARCO. Officially all these organisations are under the National Command Authority (NCA), but NCA is just a forum of senior official which usually convene only twice a year, so how it can control these organisations on a daily basis?

Any thoughts or comments are welcomed.

There is SPD in Pakistan which control all these organizations on daily basis.

What is the procedure for export application of KRL or PAEC? SPD decides by its own?

No strategic asset is ever exported even Ballistic missile under 300 KM range. Anti tank missiles and Shoulder fired missile produced by KRL were exported only. PAEC has no export application.

I am talking about exporting dual-use materials and technologies which are usually are purchased by civilian industries, but can also be used for military/WMD projects.

PAEC and its subsidies (PINSTECH, NDC) could offer substantial assistance in nuclear research and development for all kind of non-military objectives: science, medicine, commercial, energy. SPD supervises PAEC, but what is the procedure for granting PAEC the authorisation to export its knowledge.

working upwards..
PAEC->SPD(Intel clearance, content clearance)-> Min Def(repeat clearance)->NSC board(CoAS,PM,President)
working downwards.

Dual use systems go through this..
However.. this is only for export..
All doors are open for import, whoever and whatever... through private or government channels.
legal.. or illegal..
Survival demands it.

NSC exist and functions? I thought it was abolished at the end of Musharraf's era. How MOD has the tools to decide if to grant the export license? MOD only serving the military barnches and some other agencies (like PAA).

Does every export request is checked by COAS and the President?

depends on item sensitivity..
An export of a seeker may be approved by the Mod..
An export of a rocket engine may need the COaS's eyes.

When we have relations with usa, canada, austrailia, uk, frnace , eu, india, russia and so. Then y dont with israel
May be it will be helpful for both countries and even we can help some palestenian brothers too
All arab countries are in good ties with india and its better interest of israel too to stay neutral b/w indo pak

Why MOD and not MODP? Isn't it the competent governmental authority responsible for the defence industry?

When the President is involved in export licensing? Only from strategic organisations?

(Back) Doors should also be opened for export to select nations for the select technologies.
Our survival might be connected to their survival.

This is how UK and Israel got their nukes.
