(SBU) PolChief delivered subject demarche to Middle East
Office Eija Rotinen and to Human Rights Office Director
Johanna Suurpaa Dec. 7. The Finns said that there is
consensus within the EU that "talking one-sidedly" within
the Human Rights Council only about Israel is
"counterproductive and ridiculous." They predicted that
the EU's comments on the resolution will not be accepted
and that the EU block will vote 'no.'
