SUBJECT: BRAZIL - RATIFYING THE 1999 MONTREAL CONVENTION

REF: STATE 22032

Emboff made reftel points on adherence to the 1999 Montreal
Convention to Michel Arslanian of the Foreign Ministry's
Office for Services, Investment and Finance. Arslanian
deals with Aviation issues, including the International
Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Arslanian said the GoB
takes this issue seriously, has signed the Convention and
submitted it to Congress for ratification. It is currently
pending action in the Chamber of Deputies, where a Deputy
from the governing PT party has been assigned as rapporteur.
Arslanian was unable, however, to predict when the Congress
might ratify the convention.
