Moved Permanently

Condoleezza Rice, Secretária de Estado americana acaba de incluir a Venezuela à lista de países que "não cooperam totalmente com os esforços anti-terroristas". Agora a Venezuela passa a fazer parte do mesmo grupo no qual estão Cuba, Irã, Coréia do Norte e Síria, de acordo com o chamado Ato de Controle de Exportação de Armas (22 U.S.C. 2781) e as "ordens executivas" de número 11958.

Com a decisão, ficará mais difícil para a Venezuela comprar tecnologia de outros países, além de ser uma aproximação inadequada contra o restante da América do Sul. Curiosamente, os americanos retiraram a Líbia da relação.

Segue texto divulgado pelo Departamento de Estado Americano:

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice 5411]

 
Determination and Certification Under Section 40A of the Arms 
Export Control Act

    Pursuant to section 40A of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 
2781), and Executive Order 11958, as amended, I hereby determine and 
certify to the Congress that the following countries are not 
cooperating fully with United States antiterrorism efforts:

     Cuba
     Iran
     North Korea
     Syria
     Venezuela
    I hereby notify that the decision not to include Libya on the list 
of countries not cooperating fully with U.S. antiterrorism efforts 
comes as the result of a comprehensive review of Libya's record of 
support for terrorism over the last three years. Libya has taken 
significant and meaningful steps during this time to repudiate its past 
support for terrorism and to cooperate with the United States in our 
antiterrorism efforts.
    This determination and certification shall be transmitted to the 
Congress and published in the Federal Register.

    Dated: May 8, 2006.
Condoleezza Rice,
Secretary of State, Department of State.
