1. (S) PolOff delivered reftel to Mirela Maghiar, MFA
Director for NATO Division, and Dan Neculaescu, MFA Director
for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control, on February 22. They
expressed appreciation for the notification and continuing
"great" coordination. Neculaescu promised to inform MOD
colleagues so that the military would be aware of the request
should the topic arise at forums with Greek, Turkish, or
Norwegian military officials. Neculaescu will participate in
the March 14 HLTF meeting in Brussels. He said that Romania
would gladly encourage Athens, Ankara, and Oslo to contribute
some of their headroom CFE entitlements to the U.S. should
they be approached. Maghiar did, however, question whether
those entitlements would be transferred to the U.S. or to
Romania. PolOff responded that they would be transferred to
the U.S.
2. (S) Neculaescu noted that Romania is "currently analyzing
CFE" in anticipation of Russian concerns. He said that
Russian contacts had complained informally that the U.S. "did
not share enough on this issue" of usage of Romanian military
facilities. Neculaescu said it would be "useful to
coordinate how to handle Russia's concerns" and commented
that "If Ivanoff takes a public stance, we should have a
prepared response." He suggested that the response should be
coordinated at the NATO level. He also noted that Russia has
never formally approached Romania for clarification on the
military facilities agreement, despite repeatedly making
public statements about it.
