US embassy cable - 04ABUDHABI4509

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.

SUBJECT: MINISTER OF ECONOMY RESOLVES NETAFIM ISSUE 
 
(SBU) On December 8, UAE Minister of Economy and Planning 
Sheikha Lubna Al-Qasimi informed Ambassador that she had 
signed off earlier in the week on a resolution of NETAFIM's 
problem in the UAE.  The company was incorporated in the U.S. 
and was to be treated as a U.S. entity, she said.  The 
Minister told the Ambassador that she had personally 
telephoned the UAE Embassy in Washington to proceed on that 
basis.  UAE Embassy Washington Commercial Attache Reem 
Al-Hashemi has informed EconChief that the UAE Embassy had 
attested NETAFIM,S documents and forwarded them to the 
Ministry of Economy.  Al-Hashemi added that she would pursue 
the matter to ensure that it was resolved.
