Viewing cable 06RABAT2158, DEMARCHE ON ANTI-COUNTERFEITING TRADE AGREEMENT

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.

TAGS: ECON ETRD KIPR PGOV MO
SUBJECT: DEMARCHE ON ANTI-COUNTERFEITING TRADE AGREEMENT 
 
REF: STATE 182554 
 
 1. (SBU)  Econ Counselor raised reftel demarche last week in 
separate meetings with Houda Marrakchi, Ministry of Foreign 
Affairs, Abdallah Ouadghiri, Director of the Moroccan 
Copyrights Office (BMDA), and Aziz Bouazzaoui, Director of 
the Moroccan Office of Industrial and Commercial Property 
(OMPIC).  All expressed interest in the proposal, though they 
had questions regarding how it would relate to Morocco's 
existing obligations under its bilateral free trade 
agreements.  Marrakchi committed to circulate the text of the 
concept paper to members of the GOM's inter-ministerial 
working group on IPR issues, which includes the Ministry of 
Communications, Justice Ministry, BMDA and OMPIC. 
 
2. (SBU) Comment: Inter-ministerial coordination on the 
question will likely take some time, and it is doubtful we 
will receive a detailed reaction by the envisioned December 
date for an intial meeting of interested countries.  We will 
continue to push the concept in our meetings with IPR 
contacts, however.  End Comment.
