Viewing cable 09OSLO784, NORWAY ON AFGHAN PRT MOU: SMALLCHANGES, DECISION

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.

SOON. 
 
REF: STATE 129187 
 
ΒΆ1.  (SBU) Norway's MFA Legal Department Advisor Anita 
Bjorseth told PolOff December 22 that her department sent 
"small" suggested edits to the draft Memorandum of 
Understanding (MOU) on Life, Security and Mobility Support to 
the MFA's Af/Pak section on December 18.  She said most of 
comments she suggested throughout the text would be to ensure 
that it would not be a legally binding agreement, as 
specified in Reftel.  Separately, MFA Af/Pak Director 
Ambassador Janis Kanavin told PolOff that his section was 
reviewing the draft MOU, and would provide a reply as soon as 
possible.  He also said that Ministry of Defense and the MFA 
were discussing which ministry should be the signatory to the 
MOU.  Comment:  Post does not anticipate any significant 
Norwegian concerns or changes to the MOU.  However, it is 
unlikely the MOU will be signed before early 2010 due to the 
holidays.  End Comment.
