Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

SUBJECT: IRAQ: UPDATE ON DUTCH MADRID PLEDGES AND ABU
DHABI MEETING PARTICIPATION
REF: A. STATE 31782
B. STATE 38288
Madrid Pledges Not Yet Fulfilled
---------------------------------
1. (SBU) The Dutch have not yet delivered their EUR 10
million Madrid pledges but are in the process of doing so.
They expect to release EUR 5 million to the UN/World Bank
Trust fund in April 2004. The other EUR 5 million, which was
pledged for humanitarian assistance, is expected to be
dispersed via Dutch and international NGOs before the summer.
This information comes from Ms. Hagar Ligtvoet of the MFA's
Peacebuilding and Good Governance Division. The message from
the MFA continues to be that the Netherlands does not plan to
contribute ODA funds to Iraq in the future. Contributions
will be limited to humanitarian assistance and small
reconstruction activities related to the Dutch military
mission in Al-Muthana.
Dutch Presence at Abu Dhabi Meeting
-----------------------------------
2. (U) The Dutch have not yet announced whom they will
send to the Feb. 28-29 Abu Dhabi meeting (ref B) but Iraq
desk officer Josephine Frantzen predicts it will be someone
from the Dutch embassy in the UAE.
