Emboff delivered reftel talking points to Sarah McGrath, Deputy Director of Disarmanent and Non-Proliferation at the DFA. McGrath informed emboff that the GOI will likely support the technical change, and noted that she saw "nothing immediately problematic" about the amendment. While the GoI would not support reopening the CWC or giving any sort of "special treatment" to Libya, it has no problem with a technical change that would benefit any future signatory of the CWC. McGrath promised to keep post informed of any changes in the GOI's position. KENNY
