2020年8月31日,广东省涉外经贸法律服务律师团成立大会暨全省商务法律服务月活动启动仪式在广州举行。省司法厅党委副书记、副厅长梁震,省商务厅党组成员、一级巡视员罗练锦出席活动,并为首批21名律师团成员颁发聘书。其中,我所合伙人、司法部全国千名涉外律师人才王伟圣律师成功入选。
在培训正式开始前,广东省商务厅二级巡视员杨启凡、广州市商务局一级调研员陈泳芳分别致辞。广东省商务厅二级巡视员杨启凡指出,说明会的举办主要是为了解决企业在国际贸易和投资中的问题和困难。涉外律师人才去地级市开展专题培训、现场咨询和合规体检等服务,对于开展涉外法律服务具有里程碑式的意义。广州市商务局一级调研员陈泳芳亦表示,我市外贸企业在新冠疫情等影响下面临巨大压力。广东省司法厅和广东省商务厅举办的系列活动有助于企业防范经营风险,解决经营难题,有助于企业在国际市场上应对危机,帮助企业在“走出去”的时候走得更稳、更好,本次讲座也定会让现场的企业有所获益。
首先,王伟圣律师简单地介绍了美国出口管制制度的规则体系、美国出口管制的执法部门、属于美国出口管制法律所管辖的物项、受美国出口管制的行为、受美国出口管制影响的主体以及美国出口管制的执法机构等,让现场听众对美国出口管制有了一个初步的了解。同时,王伟圣律师揭秘了大家都比较感兴趣的美国出口管制改革法案(“ECRA”)。ECRA的颁布意味着正式引入对国家安全有关键影响的新兴和基础技术,使美国出口许可审查变得更加严格。此外,ECRA的出台是美国在外国投资审核和出口管制方面的结合。
随后,王伟圣律师从大家都比较关注的华为案、中兴案、烟台杰瑞石油事件入手,梳理了违反美国出口管制制度的处罚措施,如警告通知书、罚款、刑事处罚和其他行政制裁措施,以及相应的从重处罚情节、从轻处罚情节等裁量因素,从而告诫企业要充分熟知美国出口管制的相关规定,否则存在被相关部门处罚的风险。
国际市场变化莫测,以美国为首的多个国家在今年陆续出台了进出口管制政策。借着本次讲座的契机,王伟圣律师对美国出口管制的最新动态进行了解读,如美国取消民用许可证豁免(CIV)、加强对军用的出口管制、加强电子出口信息(“EEI”)的申报要求以及针对华为作出的一系列举措(包括定向扩大直接产品原则适用范围等)。
最后,王伟圣律师向现场企业代表指出了美国出口管制的主要风险:(1)美国的出口管制对“物”规定的范围非常广;(2)美国出口管制不限于清单上的主体;(3)无特殊管制要求的物项同样可能触发出口管制限制 ;(4)美国出口管制政策修改频繁。针对美国出口管制的风险,王伟圣律师向企业提出以下几点建议,得到在场企业的热烈反响:
(1)要对企业涉及的受管制产品进行排查;
(2)对企业所有可能涉及业务进行梳理;
(3)在交易前重视对交易相对方的筛查;
(4)高度关注美国出口管制最新政策,做好评估;
(5)最终用户认证项目申请等建议。
