1. (C) Global Affairs officer passed ref A message to German
MFA Export Control Division Desk Officer Ina Schuett March
12. Schuett thanked us for the reaction to Germany's
discussion paper on Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR)
denial notifications (ref B). She said the German Government
will review the responses from all four recipients of the
discussion paper--the U.S., France, Japan, and the UK--and
revise it in light of the comments/suggestions offered.
Germany will then submit the revised discussion paper to all
MTCR partners in time for it to be discussed at the April
Reinforced Point of Contact (RPOC) meeting in Paris.
Germany's goal is for the paper to become an agenda item for
the 2007 MTCR plenary later this year.
2. (C) Schuett commented on some specific U.S. points.
Concerning the U.S. objection to Germany's proposal in the
"Use of Information for Industry Awareness" subheading,
Schuett asked whether the USG ever shared license denial
information with exporters whose applications have been
denied. She said the German Federal Economic and Export
Licensing Agency (BAFA) shares some information on license
denials if the exporters appeal the decision. She said the
German proposal is intended to enable MTCR Partners to share
unclassified information with exporters. This, she added,
SIPDIS
could be clarified in the revised draft.
3. (C) Post will forward the revised German discussion paper
or other additional MTCR material upon receipt.
