SUBJECT: TAIWAN OBSERVERSHIP AT WORLD HEALTH ASSEMBLY

REF: STATE 102782

We conveyed reftel points to the Ministries of Foreign
Affairs and Health. Ana Paredes, Subdirector General for
International Technical Organizations at the MFA, told us May
12 that if the issue of Taiwan observership comes to a vote,
Ireland will speak for the EU and that the EU's position is
being discussed in Geneva and Brussels. When pressed about
Spain's views, Paredes limited herself to saying that GOS
positions regarding Taiwan are always based on the "one
China" policy.
