1. (S) EconUnit Chief delivered ref A points on February 25
to Helmut Krehlik, Head of the Ministry of Economics' (MoE)
Import and Export Control Division. Krehlik said that
following up on ref C information, Austria's domestic
intelligence agency (BVT) had launched an investigation into
efforts by Pakistan's Intertrade Distributors to procure
German-origin computer numerically controlled (CNC) machine
tools through the Austrian company DMG Europe Holding.
2. (S) Krehlik confirmed ref A information that DMG Europe
Holding appeared to be procuring the CNC machine tools from
the German firm Deckel Maho Gildemeister. German
authorities, according to Krehlik, have denied an export
application from DMG Europe Holding, based on ref C
information. The Austrian MoE has not received any export
application from DMG Europe Holding. At the moment, Krehlik
said that Austrian and German authorities were investigating
to ascertain with whom Intertrade had signed the delivery
contract (DMG Europe Holding or Deckel Maho Gildemeister),as
the export application should have been made in the country
in which the contracting company resided.
