    SUBJECT: COSTA RICAN PRESIDENT ACCEPTS TRADE SUMMIT
    INVITATION AND REQUESTS CAFTA-DR EVENT

    REF: A. A) SECSTATE 80675
         ¶B. B) SAN JOSE 631
         ¶C. C) SAN JOSE 634

    ¶1.  (U) Please see Action Requests. paragraph 7.

    ¶2.  (SBU) SUMMARY: President Oscar Arias accepts the USG
    invitation to attend the Americas Trade Summit scheduled for
    September 24 in New York (Reftels A and B). In addition, the
    President requested an entry-into-force event in the US on
    September 23, either in Washington or New York, to mark Costa
    Rica's accession into CAFTA-DR. We recommend making every
    effort to comply with Arias,s request.  END SUMMARY.

    -----------------------
    U.S. INVITATION ACCEPTED
    -----------------------

    ¶3.  (U) The GOCR delivered President Arias's acceptance to
    Embassy San Jose through the Ministry of Foreign Trade
    (COMEX).  Separately, the MFA (FM Bruno Stagno,s office)
    confirmed the President's acceptance of the trade summit
    invitation.

    -----------------------------
    COSTA RICAN REQUEST DELIVERED
    -----------------------------

    ¶4.  (SBU) COMEX also relayed President Arias's related
    request: to officially deposit the CAFTA-DR instrument of
    ratification at the OAS in Washington on September 23 or
    exchange diplomatic notes there or in New York to mark Costa
    Rica,s CAFTA-DR accession.  COMEX (and the MFA) indicated
    that the details and format of the event are open to
    discussion.  The key for them (and evidently for Arias) is to
    be able to participate in the New York summit as a full
    member of the FTA "club".

    ¶5.  (SBU) The President's request raises the bar for the GOCR
    to complete the remaining parts of CAFTA-DR implementation:
    approval and publication of two bills, approval of
    regulations, signing of the insurance side letter and
    associated documentation, and the creation of a special
    enforcement office to prosecute intellectual property crimes.
     All of this must be completed by mid-September.

    ------------------------
    LEGISLATION KEEPS MOVING
    ------------------------

    ¶6.  (SBU) Arias, request was no doubt fueled by the
    continuing CAFTA-DR legislative progress (Ref C).  The last
    implementing bill (on IPR and biodiversity) passed the first
    vote of the National Assembly on August 6.  If review by the
    Constitutional Court is required (and assuming the Court
    finds no problems), the bill would return for a second and
    final vote in about 30 days.  Legislative staff tell us,
    however, that the Court may not have to review the IPR bill
    after all.  If that proves true, the bill could face its
    second and final vote as early as the week of August 11,
    before the legislature is expected to break for recess.
    (COMMENT:  We'd be pleasantly surprised if the CAFTA
    opposition did not send this controversial final bill to the
    Court for review.  END COMMENT.)

    ---------------
    ACTION REQUESTS
    ---------------

    ¶7.  (SBU) Please advise how we can best respond to President
    Arias,s request.  We recognize that the USG may be reluctant
    to commit to an event that is largely dependent on GOCR
    execution.  Yet, Arias,s request poses questions for USTR:
    when is the cutoff date for receiving published laws,
    approved regulations, signed side letters, and evidence of an
    established special prosecutor's office?  To meet the
    president's request, we assume that all documents will need
    to have been reviewed and certified by USTR NLT 22 September
    (or even before).  Therefore, by when does USTR need final
    documentation in order to hold an event on September 23?
    Also, please advise the correct form for Costa Rica,s entry
    into force activity.  Is deposit at the OAS more appropriate
    than an exchange of notes?

    -------
    COMMENT

    -------

    ¶8.  (SBU) We recommend making every effort to comply with
    Arias,s request.  He is finally confident enough about
    CAFTA-DR,s prospects here to suggest a date certain to
    deposit Costa Rica,s instrument of ratification and/or mark
    imminent entry-into-force.  Let,s hold him and the GOCR to
    it.  Accepting that date certain should squelch temptation to
    fiddle with the remaining implementation elements; there
    would be no time.  Arias certainly views a CAFTA-DR ceremony
    (probably well-publicized) as a way to score domestic
    political points at home, but highlighting Costa Rica,s
    better-late-than-never accession to CAFTA-DR during the UNGA
    (and around the New York Summit) would be a timely boost to
    the USG trade agenda as well, in our view.
