Viewing cable 02ROME1942, MISSION-ITALY BIOTECH ACTION PLAN

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.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #02ROME1942.

SUBJECT: MISSION-ITALY BIOTECH ACTION PLAN 
 
REF: ROME (A) 1697 (B) ROME 1457 (C) ROME

1. MISSION ITALY'S BIOTECH WORKING GROUP 
(BWG) HAS MAPPED OUT ITS ACTION PLAN FOR THE 
NEXT SIX MONTHS. 
 
                              UNCLASSIFIED 
IT REFLECTS THE COLLECTIVE EFFORTS OF AGR, 
ECON, SCI, PA, FCS, LABOR, CG-MILAN, CG- 
NAPLES, AND CG-FLORENCE. 
 
BECAUSE MISSION ITALY SHARES MANY COMMON 
OBJECTIVES AND PRIORITIES REGARDING U.S. 
BIOTECHNOLOGY POLICY WITH OUR COLLEAGUES FROM 
FODAG AND EMBASSY VATICAN, THE PLAN ALSO 
REFLECTS THEIR INPUT AND WORK PRIORITIES FOR 
THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS. 
 
2.  THE ACTION PLAN IS DIVIDED INTO TWO 
PARTS.  PART I COVERS EMBASSY ITALY'S 
BILATERAL AGENDA; AND PART II COVERS THE 
                       UNCLASSIFIED 
 
PAGE 03        ROME  01942  01 OF 04  181506Z 
COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS BETWEEN EMBASSY ROME, 
EMBASSY VATICAN AND FODAG. 
 
3.  THE PRINCIPAL GOALS OF THE BIOTECHNOLOGY 
WORKING GROUP ARE TO REMOVE BARRIERS TO 
INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN U.S. APPROVED BIOTECH 
PRODUCTS AND TO PROMOTE BIOTECHNOLOGY AS AN 
IMPORTANT PART OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN 
DEVELOPED AND DEVELOPING COUNTRIES.  OUR 
STRATEGY IN ITALY IS TO HELP THE GROWING 
NETWORK OF GOVERNMENT, ACADEMIC, INDUSTRIA, 
AND NGO OPINION LEADERS WHO SUPPORT 
BIOTECHNOLOGY DEVELOP AN EFFECTIVE ACTION 
PLAN TO COUNTER WELL-ORGANIZED BIOTECH 
OPPONENTS. 
 
BY SUPPORTING THIS POSITIVE NETWORK WITH U.S. 
POLICY MESSAGES, SCIENTIFIC EXCHANGES, AND 
GRASSROOTS ACTIVITIES SUCH AS FARMER-TO- 
FARMER CONTACTS, AND DIALOGUE WITH OBJECTIVE 
ENVIRONMENTAL AND CONSUMER GROUPS, WE WILL 
STRESS THE BENEFITS OF BIOTECHNOLOGY TO 
GROWERS AND CONSUMERS.  WE WILL PROVIDE 
ACCURATE AND UP-TO-DATE INFORMATION TO 
OPINION LEADERS ABOUT ENVIRONMENTAL RISK, AND 
ABOUT THE INCREASING SOPHISTICATION OF 
BIOTECHNOLOGY.

PAGE 04        ROME  01942  01 OF 04  181506Z 
WE WILL BREAK DOWN THE FALSE PERCEPTIONS THAT 
HIGH-QUALITY AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS AND 
BIOTECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE 
BY DEMONSTRATING THAT BIOTECHNOLOGY CAN 
REDUCE THE VULNERABILITY OF MANY QUALITY 
PRODUCTS TO PESTS AND DISEASE WHILE 
PRESERVING THEIR TRADITIONAL QUALITIES. 
 
AT THE EU AND INTERNATIONAL LEVELS (E.G. WTO 
AND UN AGENCIES), WE WILL SUPPORT EFFORTS TO 
RESTART THE APPROVALS PROCESS AND REOPEN 
TRADE, AND SUPPORT U.S. POLICY ON PRACTICAL 
APPROACHES TO LABELING AND TRACEABILITY WHICH 
ARE NON-DISCRIMINATORY.  WE ALSO WILL SUPPORT 
THE BIOSAFETY CLEARING HOUSE AND OTHER 
EFFORTS TO INCREASE THE INFORMATION AND 
DECISION MAKING CAPACITY OF DEVELOPING 
COUNTRIES WITH REGARD TO BIOTECHNOLOGY.

OBJECTIVE 1: TEST THE OFT-REPEATED HYPOTHESIS
