    In the matter of Joseph P.M. D'Haens, Respondent
[Docket No. 7102-01]


Related Person Order

    Whereas, on April 25, 1988, then-Under Secretary for Export 
Enforcement Paul Freedenberg entered an order affirming a March 25, 
1988 Recommended Decision and Order entered against Respondent Joseph 
P.M. d'Haens (d'Haens) by the Administrative Law (ALJ), which, in 
pertinent part, provided that:

    For a period of 20 years * * * Respondent, Joseph P.M. d'Haens, 
Amerikalei 96, 2000 Antwerp, Belgium, and all successors, assignees, 
officers, partners, representatives, agents, and employees are 
hereby denied all privileges of participating, directly or 
indirectly, in any manner of [sic] capacity, in any transaction 
involving commodities or technical data exported from the United 
States * * *.
* * * * *
    After notice and opportunity for comment, such denial of export 
privileges may be made applicable to any person, firm, corporation, 
or business organization with which the Respondent is now or 
hereafter may be related by affiliation, ownership, control, 
position of responsibility, or other connection in the conduct of 
export trade or related services.

    Whereas, on May 28, 1993, the ALJ issued an Order to, inter 
alia,\1\ Discom NV, Endymion NV, and Kronatech NV directing them to 
show cause why the sanctions in the April 25, 1988 Order entered 
against d'Haens should not be made applicable to them because of their 
relationship to d'Haens in the conduct of export trade or related 
services;

    \1\Several other companies were identified in the Order to Show 
Cause as possible being related to d'Haens. Based on the response to 
the Order to Show Cause, it has been determined that those companies 
are no longer related to d'Haens.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Whereas, on December 25, 1993, d'Haens responded to the Order to 
Show Cause by admitting that he has a business relationship with Discom 
NV, Endymion NV, and Kronatech NV;
    Whereas, the ALJ has recommended, based on the evidence of record, 
that I enter an Order finding that the above persons are related to 
d'Haens by affiliation, ownership, control, position of responsibility, 
or other connection in the conduct of export trade or related services;
    Whereas, I find, based on the evidence of record, that each of the 
above persons is related to d'Haens by affiliation, ownership, control, 
position of responsibility, or other connection in the conduct of 
export trade or related services;
    It is therefore ordered: That paragraph III of the ALJ's 
Recommended Decision and Order of March 25, 1988, as affirmed by the 
Under Secretary's April 25, 1988 Order, entered against Joseph P.M. 
d'Haens, be amended by adding the following as persons related to 
d'Haens:

Discom NV, Liersesteenweg 96, 2520 Ranst, Belgium

      and

Endymion NV, Liersesteenweg 98, 2520 Ranst, Belgium

      and

Kronatech NV, Amerikalei 96, 2000 Antwerpen, Belgium

    Each of the above persons is therefore subject to the same 
sanctions as are imposed against d'Haens by the April 25, 1988 Order, 
which continues in full force and effect.
    This Order is effective immediately. A copy of this Order shall be 
served on each named related person and published in the Federal 
Register.
    This constitutes the final agency action in this matter.

    Dated: March 13, 1995.
William A. Reinsch,
Under Secretary for Export Administration.
