SUBJECT: Belarus Special 301 Notification

Ref: State 66978

On May 4, Econoff delivered reftel information on the 2006 Special
301 notification for Belarus to Andrey Rzheussky, Counselor in the
MFA's USA and Canada Department. [Note: Delivery was delayed by
local holidays.] Rzheussky did not provide any substantive comment
at the time, but promised to distribute the report within the GOB.
He expects the GOB would provide a response after several weeks.
Econoff also pointed out that Post had difficulty collecting
information for this report because the Belarusian Ministry of
Interior refused to provide any information on IPR enforcement.
Rzheussky promised to provide such information if Post would make
the request via diplomatic note.
