Viewing cable 03SANAA975, DEMARCHES DELIVERED ON FANTA AND SAUCES

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

1. (U) This is an Action Request, (Para 3). 
 
2. (U) On May 5, Pol/Econoff delivered reftel demarches on 
Fanta and Sauces to Yemen Customs Chairman Hafez F. Mayiad. 
Mayiad told pol/econoff that he would support the USG 
position on  Fanta Beverage Base (REF A) at the upcoming 
Harmonized System Committee meetings in Brussels.  However, 
he has yet to take a position on the classification of Sauces 
(REF B).  Mayiad explained that his agency must examine the 
effect of this issue on Yemeni farmers who produce and export 
a wide variety of processed vegetables and sauces. After 
consulting with the Ministry of Finance, he will give us the 
ROYG decision. 
 
3. (U) Action Request: Please provide Arabic translations of 
the demarches as soon as possible to pol/econoff Jill 
Hutchings via email, HutchingsJe@state.gov. End Action 
Request.
