1. In a May 24 note verbale, Oman reaffirmed its April 4
commitment to permit the importation of U.S. beef. The text
of the note verbale issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs
is below.


2. Begin informal translation:

This Ministry would like to inform the Embassy that the
concerned authorities in the Sultanate have informed the
Ministry that there is no ban on U.S. beef imports to the
Sultanate. Companies may import U.S. beef according to
established procedures, which include obtaining a permit to
import in advance, and ensuring that shipments are
accompanied by a certificate of origin and a halal slaughter
certificate, endorsed by the Sultanate's Embassy in
Washington, or GCC Embassies."

End informal translation.
