(SBU) Post contacted the Republic of Yemen Government (ROYG)
Standardization Organization regarding any action taken by
the ROYG in response to the MOP-3 of the Cartagena Protocol.

participate in the Cartagena Protocol, but did not
participate in the Curitiba / Brazil meeting. The ROYG is in
the process of preparing a list of products that may contain
LMOs. Once the list is completed they will issue a decision
which will be similar to whatever is applied by the Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC). Al-Besha explained that the ROYG
expects to announce within one month that the ROYG
Standardization Organization will join the GCC Standards
Council. This will require that they follow the GCC's
Standards Regulations.
