1. (S) Global Affairs officer delivered ref demarche to
German MFA Export Control Division Desk Officer Ina Schuett
May 23. Schuett said she will pass the information
concerning the German firm Zirbus Technology's interest in
selling a freeze dryer to the Iranian firm Cinnagen to the
German federal inter-agency export control group. She noted
that federal authorities will have to investigate this
information to determine whether the freeze dryer in question
is subject to export controls. The German Government
scrutinizes license applications to export any dual-use
technology to Iran very carefully, Schuett added, and denies
them if the technology could in any way be used in a WMD or
military program. She said she will report to us the results
of the federal investigation.
