YOUR TELNO 1523 TO HONG KONG: IRAQ/KUWAIT SANCTIONS: LIST OF IRAQI OWNED COMPANIES
1. I AM AFRAID THAT IT WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT FOR US TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUEST IN TUR. THE GIBRALTAR REGISTER OF COMPANIES IS NOT COMPUTERISED. TO DRAW UP A LIST OF COMPANIES IN WHICH IRAQIS MIGHT HAVE AN INTEREST WOULD THEREFORE BE A MASSIVE UNDERTAKING INVOLVING THE INDIVIDUAL SCRUTINY OF OVER 30,000 FILES. WE DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO UNDERTAKE SUCH A TASK. THE REGISTRAR HAS HOWEVER GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS THAT ALL NEW COMPANY REGISTRATIONS FROM NOW ON SHOULD BE SCRUTINISED FOR IRAQI LINKS.
