Detroit attorneys among authors of Export Controls Guide
Miller, Canfield, Paddock and Stone PLC announced on?Monday that Principal Joseph Gustavus and Senior Attorney Jeffrey Richardson co-wrote a chapter in the “Dual-Use Export Controls of the European Union,” published by WorldECR.
The 230-page hard-copy book is a comprehensive resource on the regulations governing the export of dual-use items produced and sold in EU member states. Chapters contain detailed information on regulations in each country. Richardson and Gustavus worked with attorneys in Miller Canfield’s Polish offices to pen the chapter on Poland.
According to WorldECR, a publisher dedicated to information on global export controls, chapters are written by expert advisors in each member state. The guide was designed to benefit anyone with an interest in European export controls, and includes an introduction to the EU dual-use export control regime, as well as information and contact details for each of the national regimes.
“Global commerce in controlled military, aerospace, intelligence and other sensitive technologies is growing at a rapid pace, but their export faces intense governmental scrutiny from a national security perspective, and is subject to export controls,” Gustavus said. “This ‘Dual-Use Export Controls’ guide can serve as a starting reference for companies to discover and frame EU export control compliance issues.”
The book answers question about domestic and international legislation, authorities responsible for enforcing and prosecuting violations in each jurisdiction, the process for gaining export authorizations, and penalties for failure to gain the proper authorization.
“This was a very difficult and expansive project ty WorldECR,” Richardson said. “Each member state has its own export controls, much like how each state in the U.S. has its own systems for things like sales and use tax collection. Being able to put all that information about the member states in one guide was a massive undertaking.”
Richardson and Gustavus were recruited to write the chapter on Poland due to their expertise working with multinational clients. They are members of Miller Canfield’s Export Control Practice Group, and work extensively in export control compliance; international mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; and negotiating business terms and operational execution details between multinational companies.

Sentence in scam next for ex-manager of Catholic parish
TROY, Mich. (AP) — The former manager of a Catholic church in suburban Detroit is returning to court for her sentence in a case that brought scandal to the prosperous parish.
Janice Verschuren kept her divorced husband on health insurance at St. Thomas More Church in Troy at a cost of $26,000. She'll get her sentence on Monday in Detroit federal court.
The case began with felony charges of fraud and conspiracy involving her boss, the Rev. Ed Belczak, who embezzled more than $500,000. But Verschuren pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor involving insurance in a deal with prosecutors. She cooperated with investigators.
