US embassy cable - 04MADRID730

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.

(C) We delivered reftel demarche on March 3 to Enrique Mora, 
Director of the MFA's Office of EU Foreign Policy and Common 
Security.  Mora stated that the EU sanctions on Burma 
proposed by the Irish presidency this year are almost 
identical to last year's sanctions, but that the proposal has 
not been finalized and it is possible that additional 
sanctions could be included.  He said that Spain and the EU, 
in agreement with the USG position, oppose having Burma host 
ASEAN events.  Regarding humanitarian assistance, Mora said 
he did not know of any proposals to increase EU humanitarian 
assistance from its current level.  He stated that current 
humanitarian aid funding passes directly from the European 
Commission to NGOs in Burma, with no funding going to the 
Burmese government.
