TAGS: ETTC KOMC RO
SUBJECT: BLUE LANTERN LEVEL 3; PRE-LICENSE END-USE CHECK ON 
APPLICATION 050120369 
 
REF: 2008 STATE 93148 
 
1. (U) This message is a response to reftel inquiry regarding 
End-Use Check on Application 050120369, and the bona fides of 
Foreign Consignee NAVTRON S.R.L. of Constanta, Romania and 
Foreign End User Midia Marine Terminal of Navodari, Romania. 
 
2. (SBU) Reporting Officer (RO) raised subject companies with 
Romanian authorities, including the National Export Control 
Agency (ANCEX) of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that has 
the primary government oversight for licensing imports and 
exports of U.S. Munitions List (USML), and the Deputy 
Maritime Commissioner for Constanta County, where the 
consignee and end user are located.  Both were familiar with 
the companies, but were unaware of the companies, interests 
in purchase of USML items, and of any safeguards/bona fides 
assurances from the management on this purchase.  RO 
expressed concern that these companies were new to the 
importation of USML items, and that the USG required a 
thorough investigation of the consignee and end-user.  As a 
result of RO's initiative, the Director for Conventional Arms 
at ANCEX formally investigated both entities, NAVTRON and 
Midia Marine, to determine whether they met USG and ANCEX 
requirements for receiving USML items.  The investigation was 
conducted by the Deputy Director for Conventional Arms at 
ANCEX.  NOTE: ANCEX by law must ensure Romanian firms meet 
U.S. end-use requirements as well as EU Export Control best 
practices guidelines. 
 
3. (SBU) The following responds to questions raised in reftel 
on Application 050120369: 
 
--Does the company have supporting documentation, including 
purchase orders, for this proposed transaction? 
 
ANSWER: Yes. 
 
--What role does Navtron S.R.L. (Navtron) and BFI Optilas 
play in the proposed transaction?  Will Navtron and BFI 
Optilas be handling or storing the items listed on the 
application?  If so, do they have secure facilities and 
proper accounting and security procedures for handling these 
sensitive USML items? 
 
ANSWER:  SC Navtron is the importer of the EOSS - 500 CZC 
system from AXSYS Technologies Inc. from the U.S. via BFI 
Optilas Gmbh Germany.  The end-user is Midia Marine Terminal 
(MMT) which has the items in its Command and Control Room 
(CCR).  The CCR is a secure facility with restricted and 
controlled access.  Only six persons have access permits to 
enter the CCR.  The CCR has motion sensors and a fire/smoke 
alarm system. 
 
--What is the exact end-use for this USML item?  Will MIDIA 
Marine Terminal retain positive control over the thermal 
imaging kit at all times or will your company lease the 
system to your customers?  Who exactly are these customers 
and where are they located?  Are they all located in Romania? 
 Will the thermal imaging kit be taken outside of Romania? If 
so, where? 
 
Answer:  The EOSS - 500 CZC system is used to monitor 24/7 
activities at the marine oil terminal stationed approximately 
nine km offshore and at the MMT Port Area.  MMT retains 
positive control over the system and will not/not lease to 
customers, nor will customers have access to the CCR. 
 
--When was the company established and who are its 
principals? 
 
Answer:  SC NAVTRON was established in 1998.  Its principals 
are Kessler Eden, Administrator, and Visan Adrian, Chief 
Operations Officer.  NAVTRON has a solid performance record 
with the GOR.  For example, formerly "INTERSAT-RADIO," 
provided marine electronic equipment to the Frontier Police, 
who are familiar with the principals.  MMT was established in 
2007.  Its principles are Taus Ioan, General Director, and 
Roxana Rizescu, Officer. 
 
--What is the nature of its business, what type of items does 
it handle, and does it serve as a broker? 
 
Answer:  NAVTRON is a trading company that also specializes 
 
in navigation and communication systems and equipment, mainly 
delivery of marine electronic equipment and system 
configuration and installation.  NAVTRON is not a broker. 
MMT operates an off-shore oil terminal located in the Black 
Sea.  MMT is not a broker. 
 
--What types of organizations are among its typical 
customers, and where are the customers located? 
 
ANSWER:  NAVTRON,s main customers are the Ministry of 
Defense (Navy) and the Lower Danube Fluvial Administration. 
MMT,s main customer is SC ROMPETROL RAFINARE NAVODARI 
ROMANIA S.A. in Constanta County. 
 
--Does the company understand the restrictions on United 
States Munitions List (USML) items, especially the 
prohibition against unauthorized re-transfers and re-exports? 
 
ANSWER: Yes.  Both countries understand their obligations to 
adhere to USML restrictions and prohibitions.  This includes 
the six-month reporting obligation regarding the status of 
the USML items imported from the U.S.  These are also legal 
obligations assumed by the Government of Romania under the 
responsibility of the National Export Control Agency of the 
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
