Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

UNCLAS KINSHASA 001316 SIPDIS SENSITIVE E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: ECON, ETRD, EWWT, CG SUBJECT: IMO GRANTS MATADI SIX MONTH GRACE PERIOD REF: KINSHASA 1251 1. (SBU) Reftel reported that the Port of Matadi had not met the July 1 deadline set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) for port security improvements. The National Transportation and Port Authority (ONATRA) reports that the IMO has granted a six month grace period to the Port of Matadi to complete the required improvements. Approximately 80-85 percent of the improvements have been completed to date. 2. (SBU) COMMENT. A six month grace period may be too much of a cushion for ONATRA and the Port of Matadi. The current conditions were achieved in a five month period under strong pressure from the IMO. Follow-through is not always the best attribute of Congolese government services. Post will continue to monitor the improvements as the grace period expires. END COMMENT. SCOTT
