US embassy cable - 04BRATISLAVA875

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.

Per reftel, Econoff delivered talking points, left non- 
paper, and provided the European Partnership for Energy and 
Environment slide show to Gabriela Fischerova and Vladimir 
Blazicek from the Department of Air Protection in the 
Ministry of the Environment.  Fischerova indicated that, in 
principle, the GOS supports the Danish and Austrian position 
for banning Hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants, except in the 
case of mobile air conditioning units, where it favors the 
U.S. stance.  However, in both cases, the GOS plans to 
remain silent and not attempt to influence or complicate the 
upcoming meetings.  Fischerova further explained that the 
Ministry expects a compromise of some kind to be reached by 
the Environmental Ministers in the Council that will 
hopefully keep all sides content and effectively address 
global warming.
