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.

SUBJECT: FRANCE TO FOLLOW EU LEAD ON NGO DRAFT LAW DEMARCHE

1. (C) On November 22, Poloff delivered ref A demarche
regarding a new Russian draft law on NGOs to Aurelia Bouchez,
the MFA's DAS-equivalent for Russia and the former Soviet
space. On November 29, Charles Denier, senior desk officer
for Russia, told Poloff that France was, like the U.S., very
concerned with the draft law. He said France was working
with its EU partners on the text of a declaration
highlighting European concerns, and that current plans called
for discussing this declaration with the Russian MFA and
possibly the Presidential Administration. It was very
important, said Denier, to maintain pressure on the Russians
regarding troubling aspects of the draft law. When asked if
France planned any separate, bilateral demarches, Denier said
no. France would address this issue through the EU.
2. (C) Poloff also delivered ref B demarche on planned
U.S.-Russian consultations on regional CIS issues to Denier.
Denier thanked us for the points, and said he would contact
us if the MFA had any additional questions.
