Pure corporate propaganda II, the return? I have 6 weeks to take an internal training program about compliance with US export laws, boycott laws, and anti-boycott laws. "The company and all foreign affiliates must comply with export control and economic sanctions laws of the United States. All employees are required to comply with these laws without exception."

As a canadian working for a company registered in Denmark with a Danish employment contract, how can I be legally obliged to follow U.S.-specific export restrictions and laws? Neither Canada, the EU nor Denmark have export restrictions with Cuba. On what legal ground US laws should have precedence? This is confirmed by the European Commission which effectively neutralizes such extraterritorial laws.

The US anti-boycott law is even more controversial: it prohibits U.S. companies and their foreign affiliates from complying with economic boycotts in which the United States does not participate (The principal target being the Arab boycott of Israel). How can you ask an employee to break the laws of his country of residence? The EU is clearly against such laws: "It (the anti-boycott law) establishes the unwelcome principle that one country can dictate the foreign policy of others".
