US embassy cable - 04MADRID3932

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.

 Embassy provided reftel talking points and USTR fact sheet 
on STOP to relevant GOS officials on 10/7/04.  We provided 
the information to the Ministry of Industry, Tourism and 
Commerce; Ministry of Culture; Ministry of Foreign Affairs; 
Ministry of Justice; Ministry of Finance (Customs 
Department); and the Patent and Trademark Office.  Our 
Commerce interlocutor said he would comment on the 
initiative.  Embassy will also share the STOP information 
with relevant private sector contacts. We will, among other 
things, ask private sector IP representatives to what extent 
the GOS posture on STOP should influence Special 301 
considerations.
