A German court in Munich has suspended the sale of an ancient Iranian relic, belonging to the Elamite civilization, PressTV reported.
The silver cup, which dates backs to around 2,000 BCE and bears cuneiform inscriptions, went under hammer in Munich on June 22, 2007 for over $80,000.
?The German embassy notified the Iranian government about the auction and Iran requested the suspension of the sale,? said Omid Qanami, director of the Legal Department of Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHTO).
Archeological studies found that the Elamite cup belonged to Iran and the documents were sent to a court in Munich,? he added.
Owners of Mahboubian Gallery in London have claimed that the relic is part of their collection and had been in the possession of their family since before 1927 in France,? Qanami said.
The suspension of the sale will be effective until more documents proving the Iranian origin of the silver cup are provided.

First U.S. $2 Note Ever Printed in Heritage Auction
WASHINGTON, - The Air Transport Association of America (ATA), the industry trade organization for the U.S. airlines, issued the following statement in response to the Department of Transportation (DOT) announcement that it will auction slots at Newark Liberty International Airport:
“We are extremely disappointed by the Department of Transportation’s auction announcement that completely ignores strong opposition from key members of Congress, the DOT’s own task force, including consumer groups on New York delays, and the Port Authority and airlines. DOT’s auction proposal is unlawful, unwise and will do absolutely nothing to reduce congestion and flight delays in New York. DOT has left us no options - we will sue to prevent this illegal action,” said ATA President and CEO James C. May.
ATA airline members and their affiliates transport more than 90 percent of all U.S. airline passenger and cargo traffic. For additional information about the industry, visit www.airlines.org.

Air Transport Association Vows Legal Action to Stop Unlawful DOT Auction
NEWARK, N.J., - Continental Airlines stated today that it opposes the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) plan to auction rights to conduct additional flight operations at Newark Liberty International Airport. The proposed auction, announced today by the DOT, would add flight operations at times during which the airport is already experiencing significant delays. The DOT’s attempt to add more flights at one of the nation’s most congested and delayed airports is baffling, given the increased delays at Newark Liberty and the FAA’s actions earlier this year to place caps on flight operations at Newark Liberty.
“DOT should not be taking action to increase flights at Newark Liberty when congestion there has continued to worsen, despite the imposition of caps on flight operations,” said a Continental spokesperson. “Moreover, DOT doesn’t have the legal authority to conduct auctions, which will get tied up in litigation by a broad spectrum of opponents who are focused on solving congestion.”
In response to DOT’s plan to conduct auctions, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey recently issued a proposed order prohibiting any flights at the major New York/New Jersey airports pursuant to permission granted through a federal sale or auction of flight operation authority, conducted without authorization of Congress. The Port Authority stated that such auctions would have a material adverse effect on airport operations, airline service, ticket prices, destinations served, customer service, consumer choice, and overall passenger demand, and would be unlawful absent Congressional authorization.
Newark Liberty has the potential to operate at higher volumes, but only if the Administration and Congress can make meaningful progress in funding and implementing new-technology air traffic control systems.
Continental will continue to work with the DOT, the FAA, the Port Authority and all the other parties who have a stake in this process to improve the capacity and reduce the congestion of Newark Liberty and the New York airspace.
