1. (C) France plans to co-sponsor the DPRK nuclear test
resolution, but worries that the rush to a vote may
jeopardize the degree of PRC buy-in, MFA IO Asian Affairs
Desk Officer Benoit Guidee confirmed to poloff on October 12.
Guidee, following up on an earlier October 12 conversation
by poloff with IO DAS-Equivalent Jean-Hugues Simon Michel,
repeated French concerns about the importance of garnering
PRC support for the draft resolution, even if that requires
delaying a vote for several days. Simon Michel had further
remarked on the need for handling of the DPRK issue so as to
reinforce efforts on Iran.
2. (C) Guidee also said the French delegation would be in
contact in NY about technical questions regarding paragraph 8
(d) in the draft (ref A) which the MFA interprets initially
as appearing to demand establishment and enforcement of
national sanctions lists as opposed to application of UNSC
sanctions.
