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.

REF: A. SECSTATE 108776
B. MADRID 1806
1. We discussed the status of Spain's pledge for Iraq
reconstruction with Directorate General of International
Finance Technical Adviser Ines Menendez de Luarca Bellido.
Menendez said that her Director General and Secretary of
State for Economy have not yet been able to discuss this
matter with the new Vice President and Minister of Economy
Pedro Solbes.
2. Menendez expects this conversation to take place shortly.
She confidently predicts Spain will begin the disbursement
process of its 2004 multilateral pledges from the Madrid
Donors' Conference, which include USD 20 million for the
IRFFI and USD 5 million for the IFC Small Business Facility,
shortly thereafter. The bureaucratic procedure for
assistance transfer requires approximately one month. She
could not offer any information on new assistance plans.
