US embassy cable - 05MADRID2608

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: SECSTATE 127272 
 
(SBU) Poloff delivered reftel talking points to MFA Deputy 
Director General for the United Nations Juan Manuel Gonzalez 
de Linares. Gonzalez de Linares stated that the CCIT is one 
of his government's biggest foreign policy priorities, and 
they are anxious to get it passed and thrilled to see the 
United States pushing it in advance of the upcoming 
consultations in New York. He expressed his government's 
frustration with countries that would not agree to the 
convention, and said that if a few countries continued to 
stall its passage, Spain would be willing to move forward on 
the convention without their support, forcing them to choose 
whether to be part of or remain outside of this major 
international initiative.
