US embassy cable - 03ABUDHABI523

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.

Econoff delivered reftel demarches to the Office of Minister 
of State for Financial and Industrial Affairs and defacto 
Minister of Finance Mohamed Khalfan bin Khirbash on January 
29.  Khirbash heads the newly formed Federal Customs 
Authority of the UAE under the aegis of the Ministry of 
Finance.  We will seek a meeting in the coming weeks to 
check on the status of the Federal Customs Authority -- 
which should regularize customs procedures across the UAE 
and provide a single POC within the UAEG on customs issues - 
- and elicit Khirbash's views on the new cargo manifest 
rules, in particular.
