Viewing cable 06HELSINKI299, EU CLASSIFICATION OF BORATES AND BORIC ACID

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. #06HELSINKI299.

ΒΆ1. (U) Econoff delivered the talking points in the reftel 
demarche to officials at the Ministry of Environment, 
Ministry of Social Affairs and the National Product Control 
Agency for Welfare and Health.  They noted that the 
Technical Committee on Classification and Labeling, as well 
as its sub-group, the Specialized Experts in the Fields of 
Reprotoxicity, had submitted their recommendations, and that 
the decision now rests with the Commission.  Econoff 
encouraged the Finnish authorities to consider the U.S. 
position in the event that they are still afforded the 
opportunity to contribute.  Econoff also emphasized the 
benefits of postponing classification, pending (1) guidance 
on normal handling and use criterion as well as (2) the 
completion of full risk assessment by the Austrians.
