US embassy cable - 05VIENNA2397

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.  Post conveyed reftel talking points on June 29 to Ulrike 
Magloth, Director of International Economic Affairs in the 
Federal Chancellery.  On July 14, Acting Econ-Pol Counselor 
met with Magloth to discuss the USG proposal.  The GoA, 
according to Magloth, supported OECD reform that would make 
the Council more effective.  Magloth welcomed the USG 
proposal and would support the establishment of a working 
group by the end of July to discuss procedural questions. 
However, Magloth cautioned that the GoA would not necessarily 
support the creation of a Bureau of the Council.  Magloth 
opined that the creation of such an entity should result from 
a deliberative process without any pre-judged outcome. 
Magloth emphasized that any new mechanism should incorporate 
the views of all OECD members.
