US embassy cable - 05ASUNCION689

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.

Econoff delivered reftel points on May 20 to Maria Cristina 
Torres Gaona, Head of Strategic Planning, Secretariat of 
the Environment.  According to Torres, Paraguays position 
is very close to the USG position.  With reference to point 
18.2(a), the GOP wishes to maintain may contain language 
alluded to in reftel points.  Paraguay also wishes to 
maintain the current certificate of origin system used for 
the international commercialization of products.  Torres 
told Econoff that she will be Paraguays sole 
representative at the Montreal meetings, and that she hopes 
to interface with the U.S. delegation on the margins of the 
assembly.
