the head of the Brazil Foreign Ministry's NAMA office (Carlos
Henrique Abreu e Silva) reftel demarche points. Abreu e Silva noted
that he was already aware of the issue - probably because the EU had
previously presented him with a similar demarche - and would
endeavor to get back to us with a substantive response. Later, on
March 14, Mission's Senior Commercial Officer and Commercial Attache
conveyed the demarche to high-level contacts at the Ministry of
Development, Industry, and Commerce.
