US port. File photoWASHINGTON, May 17.The U.S. may increase penalties for companies, including higher fines, for violations of measures to export restricted products to a number of countries such as Russia and China, Bloomberg reports, citing Bureau of Industry and Security Assistant Secretary for Export Regulation Matthew Axelrod at the US Department of Commerce. Among the possible changes, the bureau proposes an increase in the amount of fines for companies violating export rules so that they exceed the possible profit from actions bypassing restrictions. In addition, earlier disclosure of violations is discussed so that “others can see what behavior should be avoided”, as well as the need for organizations to admit their mistakes to the public.” (Changes) will be designed in such a way as to protect our country from these growing threats from States and hold accountable those who do not play by the rules,” Axelrod said. It is noted that the Bureau of Industry and Security of the Ministry of Commerce will conduct processes related to violations separately from similar investigations by the US Department of Justice.
