US embassy cable - 05DUBLIN462

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.

On April 19, Emboff delivered reftel points to Third 
Secretary Margaret Stanley, Department of Foreign Affairs 
 
SIPDIS 
(DFA) Americas Desk Officer.  Stanley said that based on the 
language of the Cuban-sponsored Resolution text, the 
sentiment within the EU is that Cuba is trying to promote 
division among Member States, and between the United States 
and the EU.  She added that some Member States were 
"determined not to give Cuba the impression that it has the 
ability to divide the EU."  She said that Ireland strongly 
supports voting in line with the EU consensus, but would 
likely abstain if left to a national vote on the 
Cuban-sponsored Resolution.
