START MEMO NOMINATING-JUSTIFICATION:
Delphine is one of our key interlocutors on EU policies.
She will be playing an important role in shaping opinions
during the Dutch EU Presidency and beyond. She is a
talented, young Dutch diplomat, open to the U.S. but her
background is solely on EU issues. A visit to the U.S.
would deepen her understanding of our foreign policy and her
affinity for the transatlantic relationship. Goal is to
invest in someone likely to rise to senior levels of the
Dutch MFA. Fits our long-range mission of building a cadre
of transatlantic supporters among younger Dutch
policymakers, who, by age and training, are more disposed
towards EU than NATO.
