Dear Moonirah: If you look closely at my post to the list, you will see that this is not the first time that I have asked for clarification from the Foreign Office. My post incorporates a reply from the Foreign Office from November 1999. I am aware of the quote from Robin Cook you give. It does not clarify the matter. For example, does he mean that the sanctions cannot be lifted to any degree until this issue is resolved, or that they cannot be lifted in their entirety? I would be very grateful if you would send me a copy of the letter from Robin Cook. Please use the address given below.
