B. SECSTATE 155586

EconOff received a call from Rodrigo Ananias, Legal Advisor
to Junta Aeronautica Civil (Chile's civil aviation
authority). Ananias reported that the GOC now opposes any
change to the MALIAT language governing computerized
reservation systems (CRS) in Paragraph 6 of Article 11.
Previously GOC had agreed to USG proposed changes, but
requests from Chilean airlines (LAN) have changed the GOC
position.
