1. (SBU) Embassy confirms notification of the Ecuadorian
military of the denial of license application 050128842 for
the export of spare parts of MK 46 Mod 2 torpedoes. The
Embassy spoke initially with the Head of Ecuadorian Navy
Logistics, Captain Pablo Gordillo, in January and followed up
with a written notification to the Ecuadorian Navy that the
foreign intermediate consignee Commerce International Group
Ltd. (CIG Ltd.) was not an approved recipient of United
States Munitions List items and would not be a party to any
defense trade transaction subject to control under the
International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Embassy
clarified that an export request for the same requested items
would be considered favorably if supported by a direct
purchase order with the U.S. applicant of the case, with
another U.S. supplier or a foreign consignee that was an
approved recipient. Captain Gordillo said he was aware of
the case and that the Ecuadorian Navy would pursue an
alternate form of purchase. Gordillo told the Embassy on
April 17 that the Ecuadorian Navy was still looking for
another foreign consignee.
