US embassy cable - 05ATHENS280

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.

1.  (U) Reftel requests a pre-license check on a purchase by the Hellenic Navy through Bridgetown Business Co. Ltd, and post verified the following information.  ETAL/Dynamics represents Bridgetown Business Co. in Greece.  On 22 April 2004 the Hellenic Navy signed contract No. 604.1.422/2/03 with Bridgetown Business Co. (ETAL/Dynamics) of Tortola, British Virgin Islands for the procurement of four motor boosters and five rotor assemblies with a total contract price of 129,095 euros.  Rear Admiral N. Diamantopoulos signed the contract on behalf of the Hellenic Navy.  The contract appears to be an official and legitimate Hellenic government document.  In addition, the Hellenic Navy has purchased naval spares parts on several previous occasions from Bridgetown Business Co.  Therefore, post recommends that the license application be approved. 
 
2.  (U) For further information, please contact Cathleen Carothers, Econ Section, at 30-210-720-2309 or carothersce@state.gov; or Anthony J. Vrailes, ODC, at 30-210-720-2628 or vrailes@odc.gr.
