1. Summary. Post recommends delaying the start of the EXBS
in-country assessment of Slovakia's strategic trade control
system until all relevant GoS officials have been confirmed
in their positions, likely no earlier than mid-January 2007.
End summary.
2. Reftel advises of a contracted assessment of Slovakia's
strategic trade control system that was to have started in
September 2006 and been completed by November 30, 2006. Post
notes that many of the interlocutors whom the locally
contracted researcher will be required to interview have not
yet been confirmed in their positions. These include Ladislav
Brychta, nominated to be Director of the Department of
Sensitive Goods Trading Management at the Ministry of
Economy, and Eleonora Krocianova, who was confirmed as
General Director of Customs Directorate only on November 6.
3. Poloff and EXBS LES spoke on November 14 with the locally
contracted researcher, Ivo Samson of the Slovak Foreign
Policy Association, who agreed that delaying the start of his
research until mid-January would be a good idea.
