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.

(C) DCM will deliver subject demarche to Vice President
Eduardo Stein on September 22 (the Ambassador is on an
official visit to the Guatemalan highlands). President
Berger is in New York this week for the UNGA, but there may
be an opportunity to raise the topic with him there. We also
note that Foreign Minister Jorge Briz and Undersecretary
Dobriansky are to meet on the margins of the UNGA, another
possible opportunity to raise the HFCS tax issue.
