This open general export licence (OGEL) allows, subject to certain conditions, the export or transfer of military goods or technology under the US-UK Defence Trade Co-operation Treaty from the UK to the US.

This permission is with the limitation that the licence is only聽used by members of the 鈥楢pproved Community鈥� and provided that the ultimate end-user of the goods or technology is the US or UK government.

What is the 鈥楢pproved Community鈥� and how do you get onto the list

Organisations that comprise the UK 鈥楢pproved Community鈥� are defined by Article 4(1) of the treaty.聽

To qualify for membership of the 鈥楢pproved Community鈥�, private companies must satisfy the UK and US due diligence approval process and meet specific security requirements. This includes adhering to the relevant provisions of the UK government鈥檚 Security Policy Framework (SPF). The process for applying for 鈥楢pproved Community鈥� status聽is described on the MOD website in Industrial Security Notice 2012-01.聽Download Industrial Security Notices.

This guidance is issued in the context of the SPF published by the Cabinet Office. The Defence Trade Co-operation Treaty provisions in the SPF can only be accessed by non-Governmental entities in the DTCT (US-UK Defence Trade Co-operation Treaty) 鈥楢pproved Community鈥� via the MOD Defence Equipment and Support Infrastructure Security website after formal registration, which is a mandated condition of 鈥楢pproved Community鈥� membership. Details on how to access the website provisions will be provided during the registration process.

You should also refer to the聽guidance for UK 鈥楢pproved Community鈥� companies issued by the MOD. This document concerns the procedures in 4 different scenarios when a UK 鈥楢pproved Community鈥� facility wishes to either:

• re-transfer items to a 鈥楴on-Approved Community鈥櫬� entity in the UK
• re-export items to a 鈥楴on-Approved Community鈥� entity overseas for return to a UK 鈥楢pproved Community鈥� entity
• re-export to a 鈥楴on-Approved Community鈥� entity overseas for its end-use
• re-export by a MOD entity to a 鈥楴on-Approved Community鈥� entity overseas for its end-use
