RIGHTS
REF: STATE 230353
Joris Geeven, who covers Belarus (and OSCE) in the MFA's
human rights department, appreciated receiving reftel draft
resolution from Poloff on October 27 and promised to try to
expedite the EU's decision on co-sponsorship this week. He
particularly praised the draft as "concise and to the point."
He said the Dutch would "almost certainly" be in favor of
co-sponsoring but he could not speak for other EU member
states. The EU response could come either through The Hague
or via the Dutch Mission in New York, he said, whichever
route is quicker once the EU developed a consensus position.
