US embassy cable - 05ASUNCION758

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: 05 STATE 94927 
 
Econcouns delivered reftel demarche on the World Customs 
Organization (WCO) Framework of Standards to Secure and 
Facilitate Global Trade to the Director General of 
Paraguayan Customs, Margarita Diaz de Vivar.  The Director 
General stated that she would be traveling to Brussels for 
the June 23-25 sessions and would strongly support the 
initiative.  She emphasized the importance of standards and 
training.  Paraguay's customs service traditionally has been 
beset by problems of corruption and a lack of 
professionalism.  Diaz de Vivar has been working hard to 
improve Customs and implement Paraguay's new and modern 
Customs Code, which took effect in January 2005.
