(S) On January 6, we delivered reftel demarche to MFA Export
Control Division Desk Officer Nancy Reck. Reck thanked us
for reftel information and agreed to share the nonpaper with
German export control authorities. Reck did not have any
information regarding the ongoing German investigation into
Limbach GmbH but said that she would seek an update.
(COMMENT: Reck said that Markus Klinger, Division 412 Deputy
Head for Export Controls, is their in-house expert on the UAV
engine cases but is on medical leave and is not expected to
return for another couple of weeks. This may prolong the
response time for a update on the Limbach GmbH investigation.
END COMMENT). Post will report any substantive German
response septel.
