U.S. Fumes as Iraq Sends Representative to Arab League Boycott Conference

Michael Freund of the Jerusalem Post reports that the interim Government of Iraqi sent a representative to this week's meeting of the Arab League Boycott Office in Syria. Needless to say, the Bush Administration and Congress were not pleased. The article quotes a State Department spokesman as saying "we are disappointed by the decision of the Iraqi government to attend this meeting, and will be noting our concerns with Iraqi officials." The spokesman noted that the U.S. "has raised this issue with Iraqi officials in the past and expect to raise it with them again."

U.S. exporters doing business with Iraq should closely review tenders and other trade-related documents to ensure that they do not contain prohibited boycott language.
