Export Controls: Multilateral Efforts to Improve Enforcement

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the status of multilateral efforts to improve export control enforcement, focusing on: (1) enforcement initiatives taken by the Coordinating Committee for Multilateral Export Controls (COCOM) and other multilateral export control regimes; (2) the potential impact of the elimination of internal borders in the European Community (EC) on enforcement; and (3) factors impeding the effectiveness of multilateral efforts to enforce export controls.
