SUBJECT: DUTCH TERRORIST FINANCE CONFERENCE MARCH 15-16
REF: 05 THE HAGUE 2356
1. The Dutch Finance Ministry will host on March 15-16 in
The Hague an international conference on terrorist financing
issues. This initiative was first raised during Treasury
Secretary Snow's June 2005 meeting with Dutch Finance
SIPDIS
Minister Zalm (reftel). The U.S. Treasury Department, State,
other interagency members, and Embassy The Hague have worked
closely with the Dutch to ensure that this conference builds
on other on-going international dialogues in this area.
2. The Dutch Finance Ministry has already extended
invitations for delegations from EU member states, the United
States (sent to Treasury),and other countries with
counter-terrorist financing interests. For further
information on the conference, please contact Embassy The
Hague Economic Officer Karen Enstrom (enstromkl@state.gov).
Post has emailed copies of the conference agenda and
background information to State (EB/ESC/TFS, EUR/ERA,
EUR/PGI, EUR/UBI, S/CT, IO/PSC, USEU).
3. The conference and its workshops will focus on improving
the current counter-terrorist financing regime through
enhanced information exchanges among domestic authorities,
better communication within and between the private and
public sectors, and a more conducive environment for the
implementation of global standards by developing countries.
The target audience is senior-level policy makers and experts
in the field of terrorist financing from the private and
public sector (e.g., ministries of Finance and Justice as
well as Financial Supervisors and/or Financial Intelligence
Units). The conference will also feature senior
representatives and expert-level practitioners from the EU,
UN, IMF, World Bank, Financial Action Task Force, Asian
Pacific Group, academia, and financial institutions.
Minister Zalm will lead a concluding session with Finance
Ministers representing the international orientation of the
conference.
