SUBJECT: MAGEN DAVID ADOM: COSTA RICA SIGNING MECHANISM
SLOW, BUT UNDERWAY

REF: STATE 33468

Per reftel, Poloff communicated talking points to Victor
Murillo in the Multilateral Affairs office of the Foreign
Ministry. Murillo confirmed that the GOCR intends to sign
the Third Additional Protocol, but that the process is
cumbersome and slow. The Foreign Ministry is preparing the
Protocol for submission to the Legislative Assembly, which is
expected to approve signature authority. Based on past
performance, it is unlikely the Assembly will address the
issue before the June conference.
