US embassy cable - 05ROME1470

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.

(S) Carmelo Barbarello of the MFA's General Directorate for 
Multilateral Economic and Financial Cooperation, 
Nonproliferation Coordination Office, called in econoff on 
April 28 to provide an update on a case that we brought to 
his attention on February 24 (reftels).  Barbarello told us 
that Italian authorities had contacted the Italian company 
Pharmaline SRL, which confirmed that it had been contacted by 
an Iranian entity seeking to acquire the chemical 
3-Quinuclidinol. Pharmaline representatives further told the 
GOI that it had rejected the Iranian solicitation outright, 
as the company prefers to do business solely within Italy, 
according to Barbarello.
