Understanding cables

  • 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.

3.  Individual Company Information 
 
Overall, companies did not see an advantage in supplying the data 
requested in a dispute that does not involve them, the country where 
they produce, or any other aspect of their strategic interests. 
Therefore, responses have been very limited, and none of the 
companies completed the questionnaire.

contacted companies in reftel regarding data on the product under 
investigation with the following results:
