The Netherlands continues to strongly support a third
committee resolution on Iran, and persists in encouraging
other EU member states to agree to put forth such a
resolution (refs c,d). PolOff conveyed reftel to Jeroen van
Drunen, Senior Policy Advisor in the MFA's Human Rights
Department. Van Drunen commented that while there is more
support within the EU for an Iran resolution now than at the
same time last year, much reluctance remains in the
Mediterranean states. He expects a decision in early
September.
