1. (c) Pol/Econ Chief met with Deputy Foreign Minister for
Europe, the Americas and International Organizations Mustapha
Noman on 6/19 and per reftel guidance briefly reviewed ROYG
obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC).
Noman was familiar with issue, noting that 2-3 months ago he
signed off on a memo advocating the creation of a national
committee. He said that the Ministries of Defense and
Foreign Affairs disagree over which should lead the national
committee, but that the issue is now being reviewed at the
Cabinet level and promised to "push" implementation from his
side as much as possible.


2. (c) DFM Noman also reiterated comments from previous
meetings about the formation of an interagency committee, to
include the Ministries of Defense, Interior and Foreign
Affairs, to address all weapons-related issues (e.g.,
conventional, biological, chemical) and remarked that the CWC
would be included in the committee's purview. P/E Chief
passed a non-paper copy of the talking points and requested
additional information on the status of CWC implementation as
it becomes available.
