A fact from Offset agreement appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 17 October 2008, and was viewed approximately 710 times (disclaimer) (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
Offsets are compensatory trade agreements, reciprocal trade agreements,[1] between an exporting foreign company, or possibly a government acting as intermediary, and an importing entity. Offset agreements often involve trade in military goods and services and are alternatively called: industrial compensations, industrial cooperation, offsets, industrial and regional benefits, balances, juste retour or equilibrium, to define mechanisms more complex than counter-trade. Counter-trade can also be considered one of the many forms of defense offset, to compensate a purchasing country.[2] The incentive for the exporter results from the conditioning of the core transaction to the acceptance of the offset obligation.[3] The main difference between a generic offset and counter-trade, both common practices in the international defense trade, is the involvement of money. In counter-trade, goods are paid through barters or other mechanisms without the exchange of money, while in other generic offsets money is the main medium of exchange.[edit]
