US embassy cable - 04MADRID1742

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.

1. We spoke with high level officials in the Ministries of 
Foreign Affairs (including the Spanish International Aid 
Agency) and Environment regarding reftel meetings.  Secretary 
General for Pollution Prevention and Climate Change Arturo 
Gonzalo Aizpiri expressed interest in sending a couple of his 
Ministry's experts to the workshop to perform an 
environmental needs assessment.  He asked us to send further 
details when they are available.  He also asked if private 
sector entities (NGOs, industry) would be welcome to 
participate.  Javier Carbajosa, chief of staff to the MFA's 
State Secretary for Foreign Affairs, also expressed interest 
in principle and looked forward to receiving additional 
details. 
 
2. Regarding the follow-up donors meeting, newly-installed 
Secretary General of the Spanish International Aid Agency 
 
SIPDIS

need more time to evaluate assistance priorities for Iraq.
