1. (U) This message contains an action request in para 3.


2. (S) We discussed ref A July 30 with Danish MFA Coordinator
for Iran Sanctions Nikolaj Harris. Harris told us that MFA
had passed ref B non-paper to the Danish Security and
Intelligence Service (PET) as well as the Danish Construction
and Communication Authority, which is responsible for export
controls on dual use products. Harris explained that the
Danish firm Bruel and Kjaer has coordinated with the
appropriate Danish authorities and has neither been in
contact with nor provided any products, including vibration
exciters and accelerometers, to Farazeh Equipment Distributor
Company (FEDCO) or to its Singapore-based subsidiary,
Microsun Electronics Pte Ltd. Harris assured us that Bruel
and Kjaer would notify the proper Danish authorities if they
were approached by FEDCO, and Harris in turn undertook to
notify Embassy Copenhagen in the event of an approach.


3. (S) Action request: Harris asked whether the USG had
plans to request that vibration testing equipment be added to
the controlled items list and whether the USG would seek to
add FEDCO and Microsun Electronics to the UN sanctions list.
Please advise.
