OGEL for exports to support the Joint Strike Fighter has been updated to include Greece as an Export Customer.

The Export Control Joint Unit has issued a Notice to Exporters 2025/02 to reflect the Open General Export Licence change that supports F-35 Joint Strike Fighter Aircraft exports.


The licence now permits exports to Greece as an Export Customer.


Exporters are reminded that using the OGEL is subject to strict export control compliance conditions and that exports are also subject to ECJU annual licence returns and periodic audits by the ECJU audit team.
