GEP No. 41 should reduce the administrative burden for Canadian exporters of the applicable items. It came into force on July 22, 2015.

Detailed information on GEP No. 41 can be found in the August 12, 2015 edition of the Canada Gazette, Part II and in a Notice to Exporters issued by DFATD on the Export Controls Division website.

AIAC welcomes this improvement to the Canadian export control regime. Industry associations including AIAC have been working closely with DFATD to reduce the administrative burden of the regulations while still maintaining an effective control over the export of sensitive items.
