SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3: POST-SHIPMENT END-USE CHECK 
ON LICENSE 050060873 
 
REF: 2006 BLUE LANTERN GUIDEBOOK 
 
¶1. This is an Action Request.  See paragraphs 2-4. 
 
¶2. The Department's Office of Defense Trade Controls 
Compliance (PM/DTCC) requests Embassy's assistance in 
conducting a post-shipment check on license 050060873 for the 
export of C27J aircraft wing components to Italy.  Embassy is 
requested to complete this Blue Lantern check within 45 days. 
 Lack of response to a Blue Lantern check will affect pending 
and future licenses involving parties to this license. 
 
¶3. Reason for request:  Unusual routing of export to Italy 
via the Czech Republic. 
 
¶4. ACTION: Embassy is requested to make inquiries with 
appropriate host government officials to determine if the 
Italian Air Force (IAF) has received the C27J aircraft 
components and that the articles are being used for the 
purpose stated on the license. Can the IAF explain the exact 
role of Alenia and Aero Vodochody on this transaction?  Are 
they providing integration or manufacturing services or just 
acting as parts purchasers?  Note: items were shipped in full 
from the U.S. on December 20, 2007.  END ACTION.
