Company, to perform the needed customization of the software.

forwarded to DOC contractor to begin coordination of specific 
job elements.  A follow on meeting between UFT, Havelsan and

the British Customs Authority, these exchanges include the 
sharing of information, training and best practices

preparing a Turkish version of the Agreement which should be 
ready in early April.  Finally, EXBS Advisor discussed 
Turkey's involvement in PSI and the next PSI experts working 
group. Ergen informed EXBS Advisor that Turkey is prepared to
