US embassy cable - 04BRUSSELS4347

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) Poloff delivered reftel demarche to Paulo Oliveira, UN 
desk officer in the EU Council Secretariat.  He said EU 
representatives at the UN in New York had not yet discussed 
the resolution, but that he expected EU member states, as 
last year, to vote unanimously in favor of the Cuban 
anti-embargo resolution.  He did say that he expected an 
explanation of vote to include "tough criticism of Cuba's 
human right record," based both on current EU-Cuba tensions 
and the EU's experience at this year's UNGA ministerial. 
(Cuban FM Perez Roque was a no-show at a scheduled meeting 
with Dutch EU presidency FM Bernard Bot.)
