1. (S) On April 24, MFA Export Control Division Desk Officer
Wiebke Wacker provided EconOff with a German-language
non-paper response to the Ref B and D non-papers addressing
Iranian attempts to procure German-origin transducers in
support of their unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and ballistic
missile programs. Wacker did not have any further
information to add.
2. (S) Begin text of informal Embassy translation of
German-language non-paper:
With reference to the non-paper from October 10, 2008
regarding a procurement by the Malaysian-based Iranian
company Evertop Services for transducers from the German
company Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik GmbH in support of
Iran's rocket program, 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 Evertop Services.
-- The German company, Hottinger Baldwin Messtechnik GmbH,
has been sensitized verbally by German export control
authorities concerning this procurement attempt.
-- The company reported that they did receive a request from
Evertop Services. However, this request was rejected after
internal examination.
-- The investigations by the German authorities revealed no
indication of an export from the company Hottinger Baldwin
Messtechnik GmbH to the company Evertop Services. Also, no
export was transacted by the Singaporean company QT
Instrument.
The background from the non-paper from March 3, 2009,
regarding a possible procurement of load cells by the company
Evertop Services on behalf of the Iranian company Farazeh
Equipment Distributor Company (FEDCO) from the company
Hottinger Balwin Messtechnik, was forwarded to the
responsible German authorities for examination and further
legal action. As soon as results are available, the
corresponding US authorities will be informed.
We look forward to continuing our excellent cooperation in
the field of export controls.
