SUBJECT: OECD: DUTCH RESPONSE TO USG REFORM PROPOSAL
REF: STATE 53981
DUTCH MFA OFFICIALS RESPONDED TO (REFTEL) DEMARCHE BY
CHARACTERIZING THE U.S. PROPOSAL AS A "POSITIVE
CONTRIBUTION" TO OECD DISCUSSIONS ON DECISIONMAKING.
HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNWILLING TO REVEAL WHETHER FURTHER
CONCESSIONS WOULD BE NEEDED TO GAIN NETHERLANDS ACCEPTANCE,
CITING THE NEED FOR FURTHER INTERNAL REFLECTION.
