[edit] Datasaab Contracting AB

A Swedish company "Datasaab Contracting AB" is in the Denied Persons List of the U.S. Department of Commerce. Is it just using the same name or is there a deeper relation? 82.128.240.198 23:46, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

It is probably related to the so called DataSAAB affair in the authum 1980. DataSAAB sold a civilian air control system to the Soviet Union and it containd some US PCBs. The affair continued until 1984 when Ericsson (then owners of DataSAAB) was fined 32.5 million SEK by the US government. Sweden was also denied to purchase Sidewinder AIM-9L and engines for JAS 39 Gripen. // Liftarn
