US embassy cable - 03SANAA975

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.

1. (U) This is an Action Request, (Para 3). 
 
2. (U) On May 5, Pol/Econoff delivered reftel demarches on 
Fanta and Sauces to Yemen Customs Chairman Hafez F. Mayiad. 
Mayiad told pol/econoff that he would support the USG 
position on  Fanta Beverage Base (REF A) at the upcoming 
Harmonized System Committee meetings in Brussels.  However, 
he has yet to take a position on the classification of Sauces 
(REF B).  Mayiad explained that his agency must examine the 
effect of this issue on Yemeni farmers who produce and export 
a wide variety of processed vegetables and sauces. After 
consulting with the Ministry of Finance, he will give us the 
ROYG decision. 
 
3. (U) Action Request: Please provide Arabic translations of 
the demarches as soon as possible to pol/econoff Jill 
Hutchings via email, HutchingsJe@state.gov. End Action
