(SBU) Deputy Director General for Economic and Financial
Cooperation at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Massimo Leggeri, told us May 31 that he had transmitted a
copy of ref A points to the Italian missions in Brussels and
Geneva. Leggeri said he plans to confer with his colleagues
in those two delegations before agreeing to a phone call with
Assistant USTR Espinel. Leggeri offered no further insights
into Italy's stance other than to say this was a "European
issue" and that the EU will forward its ultimate decision to
Geneva. We hope to schedule the conference call by June 1 or
2.
