US embassy cable - 05VIENNA2922

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) On August 30, Econ Unit Chief delivered reftel 
points to Klaus Koegler, Head of the MFA's European Union 
Development Policy Unit.  Koegler pointed out that Austria 
currently had no bilateral assistance programs in Haiti and 
would not be able to help Haiti meet the anticipated 
financing gap in 2006.  Koegler added that a GAERC working 
group would meet September 6 to discuss a proposal to release 
the $72 million in EC assistance currently under sanctions. 
Koegler said he believed there was support to lift the 
sanctions.  However, he cautioned that the EC was reluctant 
to reprogram the funds for budgetary support, because Haiti 
had not yet fulfilled certain conditions.
