US embassy cable - 02TEGUCIGALPA3346

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 243208 
 
Per reftel request, on December 3, Post delivered demarche 
talking points on the U.S. proposal on non-agricultural 
tariffs to Minister of Industry and Commerce Norman Garcia 
and Vice Minister of Foreign Trade Irving Guerrero.  In a 
meeting with Econcouns on December 9, Minister Garcia asked 
for more time to study the proposal before giving a 
reaction.  Guerrero noted that unlike some other developing 
countries, Honduras' tariffs on non-agricultural products 
are rather low and Honduras does not export a high 
proportion of industrial goods.  The GOH will be 
concentrating most on the WTO agriculture negotiations.
