Reason: 1.4 (d)
Pol/Econ Officer delivered reftel demarche to MFA South
America Officer Leandro Amado on June 22. Amado said he had
not heard anything about the measure before the demarche. He
replied that Portugal would follow EU consensus but would
avoid taking the lead against Venezuela's plans given the
large Portuguese expat community there. Portugal will treat
Venezuela very "carefully unless provoked," according to
Amado.
