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: REINTERPRETING THE VALUE OF DOHA'S FAILURE 
 
Commentary by Andre Meloni Nassar, general director of the Institute 
of Studies of International Trade and Negotiations in center-right O 
Estado de S. Paulo (08/22) says:  "...The Brazilian government made 
mistakes during the Doha Round process.  None of them, however, 
means anything for the final moments of the negotiation. Supporting 
Argentina would have meant to deny the importance of the agreements 
for Brazilian agriculture.  Supporting China and India, under the 
excuse of putting pressure on the Americans, would have obliged us 
to accept highly protectionist agricultural safeguards.  We are not 
in a comfortable situation without the round.  Maybe we would be in 
a comfortable situation if we had invested more on bilateral 
agreements."
