Viewing cable 09ANKARA236, TURKEY - RESPONSE TO BIOSAFETY DEMARCHE

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.

Discussing cables

1. (U) Sensitive but unclassified.  Please protect 
accordingly. 
 
2. (SBU) Per reftel instructions, Emboffs contacted the 
Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs (MARA) and Foreign 
Trade Undersecretariat (FTU).  The Directorate of 
Agricultural Research at MARA, which has been the lead agency 
on CBD-related matters, said that Turkey would not be sending 
a delegation to the meeting in Mexico.  FTU officials 
confirmed the same and noted that they had not even been made 
aware of the meeting.  Post considers it likely that the EU 
will speak on behalf of Turkey, as it did in the May 2008 
meeting in Bonn.
