Viewing cable 07USNATO284, RESPONSE TO COUNTRY CLEARANCE CABLE: FOREIGN

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number. Linking to a specific paragraph in the body of a cable is also possible by copying the appropriate link (to be found at theparagraph symbol). Please mark messages for social networking services like Twitter with the hash tags #cablegate and a hash containing the reference ID e.g. #07USNATO284.

SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO COUNTRY CLEARANCE CABLE: FOREIGN 
AFFAIRS OFFICER RICHARD PROSEN 
 
REF: STATE 055621 
 
1.  U.S. Mission NATO welcomes the visit of Mr. Richard L. 
Prosen to conduct consultations with USNATO and NATO 
International Staff in Brussels, May 9-11, 2007. 
 
2.  Hotel reservations have been requested at the Crowne 
Plaza Airport Hotel for arrival on May 9, 2007. 
 
3.  U.S. Mission POC: 
            David Simons 
            wrk 011-322-724-3221 
            hm 011-322-657-7682 
            black berry 011-324-96-190-318 
 
4.  The primary mode of transportation for visitors to 
Brussels is metered taxis, which are plentiful and reliable. 
However, fares, which can be vouchered, are quite expensive. 
The bus, tram and metro system are excellent. 
 
5.  NATO visitor,s pass has been requested and will be 
available at NATO HQ,s main entrance gate.  For security 
reasons, all visitors, even those with a green NATO badge, 
must present two pieces of identification or their blue State 
Department-issued badge to the Marine Guard before being 
admitted into the U.S. Mission. 
 
6.  Computer and Electronics Usage:  Inter-agency security 
standards prohibit the introduction or use of non-USG owned 
computer hardware and software at all USG diplomatic 
facilities.  Cell phones, palm pilots, radios and other 
convenience electronics are prohibited in all secure areas 
of the Mission.  Travelers who anticipate having special 
needs in terms of either access or computer usage should 
contact the RSO office before arriving at post. 
 
7.  Regarding money, there is a branch of the ING Bank at 
NATO which has an ATM that accepts U.S. bank/credit union 
cards on the "PLUS" system.  Numerous downtown banks also 
have ATM machines.  Traveler's checks can be exchanged in 
most banks.  On Tuesday and Thursday mornings, there is a 
cashier at USNATO to which TDY visitors with travel orders 
have access. 
 
8.  Threat Assessment:  A worldwide caution regarding the 
threat of transnational terrorism was issued by the 
Department of State.  (Please consult the Department's 
website for text:  HTTP:HTravel.State.Gov.)  In light of 
this caution and the events of September 11, 2001, all 
visitors are encouraged to assess their security posture, 
and be alert to their surroundings.  All visitors should 
exercise caution while traveling abroad as U.S. citizens 
and facilities are often the target of groups demonstrating 
opposition to the U.S. foreign policy. 
 
9.  Belgium remains a relatively safe country but as a 
result of the war in Iraq, and sentiments expressed by its 
citizens against the war, American visitors are advised to 
exercise caution and avoid anti-American demonstrations. 
Also, it is prudent not to wear clothes or carry articles 
with logos and emblems associated with the United States at 
this time.  By taking reasonable precautions, visitors 
should enjoy an uneventful stay. However, purse snatching 
and pick-pocketing are occuring more frequently.  In 
Brussels, pick-pocketing and purse snatching are more 
prevalent in the metro system (subway, bus, tram) and at 
Brussels' three major train stations:  Gare du Nord (North 
Station), Gare Central (Central Station), and especially 
Gare du Midi (South Station).  Extra caution should be used 
at the Gare Centrale Station.  Victims have been asked for 
assistance by someone who appeared lost and anxious to 
catch their train.  As the victim responds to the request, 
a third person appears and steals laptop computers, and 
other related travel items.  According to the police, this 
is a new strategy by criminal gangs operating at Central 
Station.  Apparently they prefer platforms 3 and 4, used by 
trains going to the airport and obviously carrying the best 
category of potential victims.  Valuables should never be 
left unattended in vehicles and car doors should always be 
kept locked when driving.  Carry only a minimum amount of 
cash, credit cards and ID.  Expensive jewelry, financial 
records, address books and other personal effects should be 
left at home or stored in a safe place during your visit. 
 
10. Emergency numbers for the Police and Medical Assistance 
are 101 and 100 respectively, and for cellular phones 
(locally) 112.  Visitors to Belgium requiring additional 
information should contact the Brussels Regional Security 
Office at 32-2-508-2370 (if dialing locally, 02-508-2370).
