Brussels meeting of the EU Competitiveness Council, told
ESTHOFF that his views had not changed since he had met with
ESTHOFF November 12 to discuss ITER and other matters (see

strenuously within the EU to maintain the six-party
framework. He underscored, however, that Spain would of
course support whatever decision emerges from the November
25-6 meetings.
