The US government has announced sanctions against seven Pakistani government-owned and commercial entities allegedly associated with the country’s missile, defence and nuclear programmes, says an official notification.

The notification by the US Department of Commerce said that the entities added to the Export Administration Regulations (EAR) list “have been determined by the US government to be acting contrary to the national security or foreign policy interests of the United States”.

All seven have been placed on the entity list under the destination of Pakistan which means US entities will be barred from doing business with them. They are: (1) Ahad International, (2) Air Weapons Complex (3) Engineering Solutions Pvt. Ltd., (4) Maritime Technology Complex (MTC), (5) National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM), (6) New Auto Engineering and (7) Universal Tooling Services.

According to the notification, the US government determined that there was reasonable cause to believe, based on specific and articulable facts, that these “government, parastatal, and private entities in Pakistan are determined to be involved in activities that are contrary to the national security and/or foreign policy of the United States”.

The conduct of these seven entities “raises sufficient concern that prior review of exports, re-exports or transfers (in-country) of items subject to the EAR involving these persons, and the possible imposition of licence conditions or licence denials on shipments to the persons, will enhance (the department’s) ability to prevent violations of the EAR”.

The placement on the list imposes a licence requirement for all items subject to the EAR and a licence review policy of presumption of denial.

The licence requirements apply to any transaction in which items are to be exported, re-exported, or transferred (in-country) to any of the entities or in which such entities act as purchaser, intermediate consignee, ultimate consignee, or end-user.

In addition, no licence exceptions are available for exports, re-exports, or transfers (in-country) to the persons being added to the entity list in this rule. The restrictions will also apply to acronym used by these entities to help exporters, re-exporters and transferors.

The notification does not specify the violations these entities are supposed to have committed and does not give details of the items they are supposed to have exported, imported or re-exported.

What game USA is trying to play here ? I have started to have a feeling that this has something to do with ICBM

 

[Valar Dohaeris]

This hypocrisy must end. US sanctions Pakistan for same reasons it support India. Pakistan government must take a serious stance on the issue. It adds much difficulty and cost for each project. Also, the research and development is badly effect.

After F-16 deal, and consistent supports for Indian NSG bid, now this. Why are we still looking towards US ? what Pakistan has in this relation ?

Or submarine launched nuclear missiles..

 

[Muhammad Omar]

Nightmare for enemies they said WELL SAID

Maybe after test of Babur II US thinks that Pakistan gonna also test Naval Version of Babur a Submarine Launched Cruise Missile

 

[hussain0216]

In short this is a statement on the effectiveness and progression of our missile systems.

They see the risk and want to slow the progress

The sanctions in real terms means little as our programmes have nothing to do with the US

however it might be an effort to slow down our progress and get access to some western tech in the future

We need to carry on with our progress and keep making our missiles more and more effective

 

[Mitro]

Did any of these entities ever supported by US or finance any research by them ?

It is do with you friendship with China. US and China are enemies. The more China and Pakistan become closer, the farther US and Pakistan will become.

This will be blessing for Pakistan.

This is more of a political decision and Obama is trying to create as much mess as possible, for the incumbent president-elect Donald Trump, before leaving the office.

This along with sanctioning Russia and ousting their diplomats under flimsy pretexts is really disgusting especially when he has less than few a weeks to leave.

Unfortunately the americans are very correct here. We have done the BIGGEST anti-american activity known to mankind for the last 16 years. We made sure that we didn't allow the americans to do to us what they have done to the Afghans, Iraqis, Syrians and Libyans. For that we are guilty and deserve all due punitive measures.

Let's try to crowd source the analysis here and piece together what we know. Let me pitch in first.

A few weeks ago, both Gen. Qamar Bajwa and John Kerry were in Saudi Arabia at approx. the same time

Could this be a part of the puzzle?

This will be blessing for Pakistan.

Name one country that has cut ties with the WEST and remained prosperous.

This is an act of (outgoing) Obama administration and its hostility towards Pakistan is no secret.

If you think Obama is hostile to Pakistan, one can only imagine what Trump will be like.
