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.

2. EconCouns and EconOff met with the Minister of Industry, 
Tourism and Trade's (Joan Clos) Chief of Staff, Marc Murtra, 
and Industry Advisor Bruno Fernandez Scrimieri, on 10/4/07. 
EconOff queried Murtra on the Ministry's thinking on the 
Rosalini case.  Murtra said that Rosalini should consider the 
Barcelona Forum's offer to settle because although the offer 
did not come close to the damages awarded by the court in 
Cook County, Illinois, it was far more generous than awarded 
in similar cases in Spain.  The Chief of Staff added that 
Rosalini should consider the fact that Clos might not be a 
minister after the next general elections in Spain, which 
must be held by March 2008 at the latest.  Murtra suggested 
that Clos was the Spanish politician with the greatest 
interest in settling the case, and that other future 
ministers would likely have much less interest in settling.
