Per reftel, Emboffs delivered word that Bulgaria would not be
placed on the 2008 Special 301 Watch List to Deputy Minister

the 301 report and recommendations helped the GOB judge its
own progress on IPR and pointed out areas where Bulgaria
still had significant work ahead. Due to Milushev's travel

of concern in depth on April 30.
