US embassy cable - 05LJUBLJANA345

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.

1. On 24 May, Econoff delivered reftel talking points to Jana 
Testen, Head of the International Department at the Ministry 
of Labor, Family, and Social Affairs.  Testen said she was 
aware of the budget concerns and expressed frustration over 
the membership fees that Slovenia pays to the ILO.  Testen 
commented it was "not clear" what value Slovenia received 
from being an ILO member, despite annual costs she termed 
"some of the highest of any international organization 
Slovenia belongs to." 
 
2. Testen noted it was quite possible that the EU would not 
support the current budget proposal given the opposition 
already expressed by the UK and the Netherlands.  Testen told 
Econoff Slovenia did not have a final position on the ILO 
budget but said Slovenia would support the common position of 
the EU.
