US embassy cable - 04MADRID4114

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.

REF: STATE 214729 
 
Mission has reviewed host government market access 
commitments e-mailed by Commerce desk officer to Commercial 
Service.  There is one possible potential area for expansion. 
 The GOS is committed to extensive desalinization projects in 
the south of Spain.  We are confirming that contracting for 
these projects will be managed by entities covered in the 
e-mailed lists.  Should we learn that contracting will not be 
performed by covered entities, we will inform Department.  As 
a general matter, the Mission assists U.S. firms with 
government procurement opportunities, especially in the 
defense area recently, although we have not received 
complaints regarding access to government procurement 
projects during the past year.
