1. (U) ECONOFF delivered ref demarche to Trade Ministry
Secretary General Samer Tawil on July 25. Tawil agreed that

SIPDIS
the EU proposal was unlikely to provide any real trade
benefits for Jordan, and said he would consider supporting
our position pending a detailed reading of demarche points.


2. (SBU) Comment: Jordan considers its position on many WTO
issues to be closer to the U.S. than to the developing
world, owing in large part to the aggressive liberalization
measures Jordan agreed to in joining the WTO. We expect
Jordan will support USG positions on this issue as well.
