Secretary Margaret Stanley. Stanley said that Ireland will
SIPDIS
not provide bilateral assistance to help Haiti meets its
first-half FY06 financing gap, but instead, would funnel any
assistance through the EU. She said that Haiti is a high
priority for the EU and that the UK's EU presidency will host
a development meeting on September 6, in which this issue is
likely to be raised. She has not seen an agenda for this
meeting, but if the Haitian financing gap is discussed, as it
was in June, and Haiti is now deemed as compliant with the
Cotonou Agreement (as she suspects it will be),decisions are
likely to be taken to allocate funds already set aside by EU
Member States, including by Ireland.
