US embassy cable - 05VIENNA2545

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.  (SBU) EconPolOff delivered reftel points to Aloisia 
Woergetter, Head of the MFA's Environment and Sustainable 
Development Bureau, on July 26. Woergetter said the GoA 
shares the USG's basic goals regarding the Fourth World Water 
Forum (WWF4).  She noted, however, that Austria does not 
believe negotiating the text will be a problem, as previous 
WWF texts have usually been short and non-controversial. 
Woergetter opined that, because this is not a UN conference, 
the negotiation process would be less political and more 
efficient.  According to Woergetter, the GoA is pleased that 
water and sanitation have been integrated into the program. 
The GoA also supports the inclusion of "water and 
cross-border conflict management" in the final WWF4 agenda.
