1. (U) In answer to reftel's inquiry, Spain did host a South
American Mini-Dublin Regional Group meeting on November 15,
2005 in Santiago. Post did not attend the meeting. To date,
there has not been a subsequent Mini-Dublin meeting in
Santiago.
2. (C) Prior to the November 2005 meeting, Post had been
sending a representative to the semi-annual meetings. Post's
experience has been that participants often did not have a
great deal of information to exchange. In a July 25
discussion with Sarah Anderson, a Santiago-based U.K.
diplomat responsible for law enforcement issues, she said
there was interest among several European countries in making
the Mini-Dublin process more active in South America.
Reportedly, Spain, France and the Netherlands are the
countries most interested in playing leading roles.
According to Anderson, the British Home Office plans to
allocate more money to Chile for law enforcement issues in
the coming year.
3. (SBU) Post will stay in close touch with the U.K. embassy
and begin working with like-minded European embassies in
Santiago to re-activate the Mini-Dublin Regional Group.
