1. (S) A/Pol Counselor met 12/12 with MFA Senior
Non-Proliferation officer Dionyssios Kyvetos and MFA
non-proliferation officer Photis Bourloyannis. They noted
that Greece had "finally" received a formal report from
France on 12/10 of the French experts' analysis of the
contents of the cargo detained from the M/V Anemone on 10/12
(ref B). The French assessment is that the ship contained
"missile parts" originating in North Korea. Bourloyannis
added that this is "also the Greek assessment."


2. (S) Kyvetos and Bourloyannis affirmed that based on this
assessment, Greece will seize the material in question; it
will not be shipped to Syria. When asked as to what Greece's
plan is for the material, however, they demurred, noting that
the question of the shipment's ultimate disposition remains
"under consideration." They were not able to provide any
additional details. They also made no request for U.S.
assistance in the disposition of the cargo.
