Having taken over his current portfolio just last year, Jerman was confident that no arms shipments from Slovenia have been made to Yemen since 2003. He said he would look into whether any such shipments had been made prior to 2003, but he was reasonably confident that there were none. Jerman said he would ensure the talking points reached colleagues in the licensing department at the Defense Ministry, as well. Jerman sits on inter-agency committees dealing with export controls and dual-use licensing. ROBERTSON NNNN 2005LJUBLJ00246 - Classification: SECRET v1.6.2
