1. This is an action request. Please see para. 4.
2. The Ministry of Economy and Commerce notified the
Embassy on December 28 that it would be willing to host the
following MEPI regional training programs in February:
-- Regional Workshop on Intellectual Property Rights
February 8-9, 2004
-- Regional Workshop on Trade in Services February 10-11,
2004.
3. Econchief and Econ FSN met with Saeed Al-Nasibi the
Director of the Ministry of Economy and Commerce's WTO
Office on January 5 to explain that scheduling constraints
(refs) made it difficult for the USG to be able to provide
training on those dates. Emboffs also noted that the trade
in services program had been rescheduled and asked whether
the UAEG would consider hosting the IPR session in April.
Al-Nasibi tentatively agreed to host an event in April and
expressed a preference for the first two weeks in April.
He also stressed that the Ministry of Economy and Commerce
was still interested in hosting the trade in services
seminar right after the IPR seminar. The Ministry of
Economy and Commerce had already worked with the Abu Dhabi
Chamber of Commerce and Industry to find a workshop
location, training facilities, and translation and
interpretation services. EconChief asked whether the
office was committed to a services seminar or would be
interested in hosting another seminar after the IPR
seminar. Al-Nasibi said that he thought that the UAEG
would prefer to host a services seminar. For its part, the
WTO office asked that the USG (i.e., Booze-Allen) make the
arrangements to organize the above-mentioned workshops and
provide the names and final number of participants in the
workshops to the UAEG.
4. Comment and Action Request: Please advise whether
Washington can support these two programs in April. End
