NATO-PFP TRUST FUND AGREEMENT

REF: STATE 179279

Polmiloff discussed reftel points with Marc Versteden (Senior
Policy Officer, Security Policy Department, MFA) October 4.
Versteden noted -- as indicated by the demarche points --
that the Netherlands has pledged funds to the NATO-PfP Trust
Fund project to help Ukraine destroy its excess munitions,
small arms and light weapons. As such, the Netherlands is
concerned about the delay in implementation. He planned to
discuss further action with his colleagues in the MFA's Arms
Control and Arms Export Policy Division. Post will provide
updates as necessary.
