US embassy cable - 05KINGSTON1440

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: SECSTATE 94927 
 
On June 3, Poloff delivered reftel talking points to Hector 
Jones, Commissioner of Customs.  Jones stated that he had 
read the framework and thought that it was good.  He asserted 
that Jamaica is in agreement with the standards as they have 
been put together by an international organization and "not 
the U.S."  As the framework gives strength to the World 
Customs Organization (WCO), the WCO will gain worldwide 
cooperation.  Although Jamaica will not be attending the June 
23-25 session in Brussels, Jones said, it will vote for 
endorsement of the framework at the next Caribbean Customs 
Law Enforcement Council Meeting (CCLEC) which will take place 
June 13-16 in Santo Domingo.   A member of CCLEC will present 
Jamaica's position in Brussels.
