US embassy cable - 04BRUSSELS3979

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: STATE 200753 
 
(SBU) On September 17 Poloff delivered reftel demarche to 
Gilbert Dubois, Head of the OSCE Affairs Unit in the External 
Relations Directorate-General of the European Commission. 
Dubois thanked us for sharing U.S. views and promised they 
would be considered at the September 20 EU OSCE Working Group 
meeting.  He said he expected the Dutch proposal to establish 
an OSCE "Panel of Experts" on tolerance issues to be 
"carefully considered" at the September 20 meeting, as the 
Dutch currently hold the EU presidency.  That said, though, 
he affirmed that EU member-state views differed.  He said it 
was impossible to predict what -- or whether -- the EU would 
decide at its meeting.
