US embassy cable - 02AMMAN4213

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: JORDAN: DEMARCHE ON GI'S IN WTO AG NEGOTIATIONS 
 
REF: SECSTATE 141208 
 
1. (U)    ECONOFF delivered ref demarche to Trade Ministry 
Secretary General Samer Tawil on July 25.  Tawil agreed that 
 
SIPDIS 
the EU proposal was unlikely to provide any real trade 
benefits for Jordan, and said he would consider supporting 
our position pending a detailed reading of demarche points. 
 
2. (SBU)  Comment: Jordan considers its position on many WTO 
issues to be closer to the U.S. than to the developing 
world, owing in large part to the aggressive liberalization 
measures Jordan agreed to in joining the WTO.  We expect 
Jordan will support USG positions on this issue as well.
