REF: STATE 157878 
 
1.  (SBU) Post delivered reftel demarche to Walid Nozahy, 
Head of the WTO Department, Ministry of Foreign Trade and 
Industry.  El Nozahy had no reaction to the lists of 
environmental goods put forward by other member states.  As 
for Egypt, he said that the Ministry of Foreign Trade and 
Industry was working with the Ministry of Environment and 
industry groups to develop Egypt's position on the 
environmental goods issue.  Any list of environmental goods, 
he added, would be drawn up by the Ministry of Environment 
based on this process.  In the meantime, El Nozahy said he 
had instructed his representatives in Geneva not to take any 
position on the issue at the upcoming meeting of the Trade 
and Environment Special Session. 
 
2.  (SBU) El Nozahy said that he would not be able to attend 
the USG-hosted workshop prior to that meeting, but expected 
that Egypt's Geneva-based representatives would attend.
