E.O. 12958: N/A TAGS: EWWT, KRVC, TPHY, RO SUBJECT: ROMANIA: MARINE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AUTHORIZATIONS

REF: STATE 101996

1. In response to reftel request, post's officer responsible for transportation issues, including the handling of Foreign Ministry authorizations for maritime scientific research, is Economic Officer Justin Berg:

Tel: 40-21-200-3436 Cell: 40-723-393-952 Fax: 40-21-200-3485 E-mail: BergJ@state.gov ETD from post: April 2010.

2. Mr. Berg's back-up is Economic Officer Christy Brown:

Tel: 40-21-200-3418 Cell: 40-722-462-957 Fax: 40-21-200-3485 E-mail: Browncc2@state.gov ETD from post: August 2010.

3. Maritime research authorizations in Romania are handled by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). The United States has not made any requests since the recent International Court of Justice ruling delimiting Romania's Exclusive Economic Zone in the Black Sea. Until such a request is made, it is unclear how the MFA will handle the authorization in practice.
