Viewing cable 07ABIDJAN666, COTE D'IVOIRE SUPPORT FOR UNITAID

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.

SUBJECT: COTE D'IVOIRE SUPPORT FOR UNITAID 
 
REF: STATE 84277 
 
1. (U) Cote d'Ivoire's Ministry of Finance confirms that Cote 
d'Ivoire is funding its commitments to UNITAD via the levy of a 
"solidarity tax" on airline tickets.  Taxes are USD 4 (CFA 2000) per 
ticket for short and medium distance flights (generally flights 
remaining on the African continent), and USD 10 for long distance 
flights (i.e., European destinations). 
 
2.  (SBU) Post underscored with host government officials that 
United States does not intend to join UNITAID, nor does it support 
the use of taxes on airline tickets.
