US embassy cable - 04THEHAGUE2311

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.

Foreign Economic Relations at the Dutch Economics Ministry, 
and followed up on September 14 with Mark Jacobs, Senior 
Trade Policy Advisor in the same Directorate-General.  Jacobs 
attended the Article 133 Committee meeting on September 10 in 
Brussels and confirmed that the Committee's discussion on 
large commercial aircraft subsidies was limited to the lunch 
session.  He reported that the 10-15 minute discussion 
included a briefing by the Commission on the USTR position 
and the Commission's intention to enter into talks with USTR 
on the subject.  Jacobs noted that no position was taken 
during the meeting.  He added that the Dutch, with no direct 
interests in the matter, also had not yet formulated a formal 
position on the issue.  Rather, they expected any real 
discussions to take place during upcoming talks with USTR.
