1. (C) Embassy delivered reftel demarche to Ben Lyon in the
Foreign and Commonwealth Office's Counterterrorism Policy
Department and to Sean Byrne in Her Majesty's Treasury's
Financial Systems and International Standards Department.
Both said that the UK would be holding an internal Asset
Freezing Working Group meeting on May 9, and would consider
whether to pursue a domestic designation of JUD and IKK at
that meeting.


2. (C) Lyon said that the FCO had asked UKUN to provide its
analysis on why China had decided to put a hold on the
designation. He said that the FCO's initial speculation is
that China had placed a hold on the joint U.S.-UK-French
submission of JUD in retaliation for the fact that the U.S.,
UK, and France had all placed holds in the Chinese submission
of ETLO to the 1267 Committee.


3. (C) Lyon said that if UKUN's reporting supported this
view, the UK would seek to co-ordinate joint demarches with
us and the French in Beijing to underscore our displeasure
that China was playing politics with the AQ sanctions regime.
