REF: STATE 69823

On April 19, Emboff delivered reftel points to Third
Secretary Margaret Stanley, Department of Foreign Affairs

SIPDIS
(DFA) Americas Desk Officer. Stanley said that based on the
language of the Cuban-sponsored Resolution text, the
sentiment within the EU is that Cuba is trying to promote
division among Member States, and between the United States
and the EU. She added that some Member States were
"determined not to give Cuba the impression that it has the
ability to divide the EU." She said that Ireland strongly
supports voting in line with the EU consensus, but would
likely abstain if left to a national vote on the
Cuban-sponsored Resolution.
