Part I: Nuts & Bolts of Boycott Provisions
The first part of this program will consist of introductions to
the U.S. Department of Commerce Restrictive Trade Practice
and Boycotts regulations, part 760 of the Export
Administration Regulations, (“EAR”) EAR, the Boycott
Provisions (section 999) of the Internal Revenue Code of the
US Department of Treasury, and the Canadian Government
Policy on International Economic Boycotts.
Our expert panel will explain the nuts and bolts of each
regulation, including comparing differences in jurisdictional
reach to both US and non-US subsidiaries, contrasting the
prohibited conduct of the three regimes and explaining each
regime’s reporting requirements.
Part II: Application and Enforcement of Anti-boycott
Regulations
The second half of the program will both explain and
enumerate upon certain of the less restrictive "exceptions" in
the application of U.S. Anti-boycott laws.
Further, an experienced private practitioner as well as attorneys
from the petrochemical and defense industries — with the
pointers from the Government Representatives — will review a
series of examples of specific anti-boycott language and explain
the principles of analysis in keeping within the perimeters of
the regulations, in order to familiarize the unwary in keeping
with compliance. This program will offer participants the
opportunity to learn the key provisions of U.S. and Canadian
Anti-boycott law and apply these provisions to actual examples
of Anti-boycott language drawn from real life.
