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.

(U) CLASSIFIED BY AMBASSADOR MARCELLE M. WAHBA FOR REASONS 1.5 (B,D). 2. (U) THIS IS AN ACTION MESSAGE -- PLEASE SEE PARAGRAPH FOUR. 3. (C) The Dubai Ports and Customs Authority (DPA), which oversees Jebel Ali and Port Rashid (together the 12th largest port in the world), has on several occasions indicated to us that they are eager to move ahead now with Export Control initiatives. The UAE federal authorities (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) have told us that they are supportive of the USG providing appropriate training directly to DPA. While some aspects of our bilateral EXBS roadmap -- such as a workshop on legislation -- must necessarily wait until the UAE federal government clarifies responsibilities and authorities (a matter currently pending before the Cabinet, see reftel), we nonetheless can and should move forward with other training that we can provide directly to DPA. Among the items we can work directly with DPA are: -- US Customs' Container Security Initiative; -- training on detection/identification of controlled substances; and, -- review/assessment of DPA procedures from an export controls perspective. (Note: An assessment might usefully include manifest data collection and management, a review of existing export control lists, and an assessment of the port/customs interface and port operations more generally -- particularly with regard to transshipment. 4. (C) Action request: Post requests Washington addressees coordinate in developing a program of EXBS activities we may present to DPA. 5. (U) This message coordinated with Amconsul Dubai. Wahba
