With reference to the non-paper from December 17, 2008
regarding a procurement attempt by the Pakistani company K.M.
Enterprises for calibration equipment from the German company
Feinmess-Suhl, allow us to bring the following information to
the attention of U.S. authorities:
-- We thank you for the background information in connection
with the procurement attempt by the company K.M. Enterprises.
-- The information was already known by German export control
authorities through application procedures/activities and
evidence/information from customs authorities.
-- Based on the application for the issuance of zero-notices
for the export of a measurement tape calibrator and a fully
automated dial gauge calibrator (MFT 100.0 BV) to the company
K.M. Enterprises, the company Feinmes-Suhl was sensitized in
writing by German export control authorities in July 2007.
These communications to Feinmess-Suhl informed them that the
applications in reference to the company K.M. Enterprises
were being canceled. (Comment: Zero-notices are issued by
German export control authorities to certify that no export
license is required for a particular shipment. End Comment)
We look forward to continuing our excellent cooperation in
the field of export controls.
