    SUBJECT: ANOTHER ATPDEA DISPUTE NEAR RESOLUTION

    REF: A) LIMA 2017  B) LIMA 995

    ¶1.  (SBU) Summary.  According to GOP's Commercial Dispute
    Coordinator, Aurelio Loret de Mola, the Luz del Sur/PSEG
    dispute should be resolved shortly, pending SUNAT valuation
    of any back taxes owed by the company.  The remaining ATPDEA
    cases -- Engelhard, Princeton Dover, and LeTourneau -- are
    still unresolved.  The Superior Court issued its ruling, 3-2
    against both Engelhard and Princeton Dover in August; both
    companies have appealed to the Constitutional Court.  On
    LeTourneau case, Loret de Mola appears close to providing
    the company with the GOP's final monetary offer of
    approximately $10 million.  LeTourneau continues to insist
    that a third-party assessment be used to determine the
    market value of the expropriation and will likely not accept
    the GOP's offer.  End Summary.

    Luz del Sur:  Light at the End of the Tunnel
    --------------------------------------------

    ¶2.  (SBU) According to the GOP's Commercial Dispute
    Coordinator Aurelio Loret de Mola and company
    representatives, the Luz del Sur dispute is on the verge of
    being fully resolved.  The Tax Court issued a ruling on July
    26 that accepted the CONATA revaluation of the U.S.
    company's assets (Ref A).  The Tax Court instructed SUNAT to
    use that valuation to determine any back taxes that Luz del
    Sur owes.  Loret de Mola informed us that the amount should
    be minimal, probably less than $150,000.  He also noted that
    SUNAT would not appeal the Tax Court ruling; SUNAT also told
    the local Luz del Sur general manager that it would not
    appeal.  The final step is for SUNAT to issue its
    resolution, which we are told should be ready shortly.

    Cases in Appeal
    ---------------

    ¶3.  (SBU)  Engelhard:  In mid-August, the Superior Court
    issued its final ruling, 3-2 against the company, denying
    there were violations of due process.  The company was
    notified in late August of the decision, and it filed its
    last appeal to the Constitutional Court on September 14.
    Engelhard, in its final appeal, continues to claim that its
    rights and due process had been violated.  The
    Constitutional Court will take at least two months to rule,
    if the case is expedited.

    ¶4.  (SBU) Princeton Dover: In early August, the Superior
    Court issued its final ruling, 3-2 against Princeton Dover.
    Princeton Dover filed its appeal with the Constitutional
    Court on August 8.  The company seeks to overturn the ruling
    of the Tax Court, which refrained from issuing a resolution
    until after the criminal case concludes.

    ¶5.  (SBU) Princeton Dover and Engelhard await whether their
    local executives will be included in the criminal case;
    according to the Princeton Dover representative, the judge
    is nearing a decision to begin a trial (after nearly 5
    years) and determine who of the more than 200 accused will
    be included.

    LeTourneau:  Challenges Remain
    ------------------------------

    ¶6.  (SBU)  Loret de Mola is working with a local consulting
    firm, MacroConsult, to calculate the GOP's final
    compensation offer for LeTourneau.  MacroConsult is using
    the 1968 LeTourneau letter, signed by then Vice President
    Walter Knowles, which stated that the total value of the
    road constructed was 38 million soles oro (approximately $10
    million in market prices) as the basis for the compensation
    rate (ref A).  Loret de Mola predicts that the final offer
    will total approximately $10 million, including interest.

    ¶7.  (SBU) LeTourneau continues to argue that the GOP should
    not/not use the 1968 letter as its basis for compensation.
    According to LeTourneau, the letter bases its calculation on
    a 1967 appraisal, which was done before LeTourneau completed
    the road and three years before the actual expropriation.
    The company has sent several emails to Loret de Mola,
    emphasizing the need for a transparent process and re-
    suggesting that a panel of independent experts be convened
    to determine the scope and value of the work performed by
    LeTourneau in 1968 and how to translate that value into
    market prices.  LeTourneau's attorney informed Econoff on
    September 12 that the company would not accept any GOP offer
    that was not fair and transparent.

    Comment:  One Step Closer
    -------------------------

    ¶8.  (SBU) After discussions with Luz del Sur/PSEG, we are
    confident that SUNAT will act quickly to resolve this case,
    perhaps in the next few weeks.  The three remaining cases
    will take more time.  Loret de Mola is encouraging the
    Constitutional Court to expedite both the Engelhard and
    Princeton Dover cases.  Even with expeditious treatment, we
    do not expect a ruling within the next two months.  The
    LeTourneau case is another thorny problem - we fully expect
    LeTourneau to refuse the GOP's final offer, claiming that
    $10 million does not adequately reflect the value of
    LeTourneau's work.
