US embassy cable - 05MADRID2803

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.

(C)  ESTHOFF passed reftel points August 1 to MFA 
International Disarmament Affairs Ambassador Tomas Rodriguez 
Pantoja, urging Spain to take all appropriate measures to 
prevent Gulf Scientific Corporation and Varian Chrompack 
Middle East Ltd from diverting export controlled equipment to 
Iran, Sudan, Libya and North Korea.  Rodriguez Pantoja told 
ESTHOFF that Spain would follow its established procedures 
for such cases.  Our information would first be passed to the 
National Research Center (CNI - Spain's CIA equivalent) for 
data base searches and then both entities would be added to 
Spain's non-proliferation/export control "blacklists."
