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 non-paper addressing Iranian
attempts to procure German-origin servo motors in support of
their unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) program. 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 January 30, 2009
regarding a procurement by the Iranian company Farazeh
Equipment Distributor Company (FEDCO) for servo motors from
the German company Volz Servos GmbH & Co. KG in support of
Iran's rocket program, we take this opportunity 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 Iranian company Farazeh
Equipment Distributor Company (FEDCO).
-- The German company, Volz Servos GmbH & Co. KG, has been
sensitized verbally by German export control authorities
concerning this procurement attempt.
-- The company reported that they have not received a request
from either the Iranian company, FEDCO, nor the Iranian
citizen, Hamed Ghavinian.
-- To prevent the possibility of a future illegal delivery,
the German Customs Office has been informed of the
procurement attempt reported in the non-paper.
We look forward to continuing our excellent cooperation in
the field of export controls.
