US embassy cable - 04MADRID646

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: SPANISH RESPONSE TO EMERGENCY APPEAL FOR 
ASSISTANCE FOR UNRWA 
 
REF: STATE 29074 
 
We delivered reftel demarche to Inigo de Palacio, MFA 
Director of UN Affairs, on February 12.  De Palacio said he 
could not give a response at that time, but would pursue the 
issue within the MFA.  On February 24, he informed us that 
apart from the current year's commitment of roughly 3 million 
Euros, the MFA could not provide further funding, as their 
current year budget is closed.  The MFA will begin reviewing 
future projects and contributions in late March.  De Palacio 
said he had also contacted the Spanish Agency for 
International Cooperation regarding possible funding, but 
that they fund only specific projects, and could not make 
general contributions to relief programs.
