The document is a note of a meeting held on February 13, 1991, to discuss problems related to the export of plant equipment to possible chemical weapons (CW) projects in Libya involving Yeoman Engineering and Pfaudler Balfour. The meeting addressed the proposed sulphuric and nitric acid plants and the GLE/SSE projects. Concerns were raised about the potential dual-use of the acid plants for CW production, as well as the lack of transparency from Yeoman Engineering regarding their involvement. It was agreed to put Yeoman Engineering exports on a watch list, invite their Managing Director for a meeting to clarify the purpose of the acid plants, and refuse the export license applications for the GLE/SSE equipment. The meeting also discussed the training program organized by Cima Training Centre for Libyan students, and further action was considered based on Yeoman Engineering's response regarding the training program's purpose.
