REF: STATE 200753

(SBU) On September 17 Poloff delivered reftel demarche to
Gilbert Dubois, Head of the OSCE Affairs Unit in the External
Relations Directorate-General of the European Commission.
Dubois thanked us for sharing U.S. views and promised they
would be considered at the September 20 EU OSCE Working Group
meeting. He said he expected the Dutch proposal to establish
an OSCE "Panel of Experts" on tolerance issues to be
"carefully considered" at the September 20 meeting, as the
Dutch currently hold the EU presidency. That said, though,
he affirmed that EU member-state views differed. He said it
was impossible to predict what -- or whether -- the EU would
decide at its meeting.
