1. (SBU) Embassy presented US-EU Open Skies Demarche (Refs A
and B) to Belgian Ministry of Transportation and Ministry of
Foreign Affairs. The following message was received from the
Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on March 13:
Thank you for your demarche of March 9 in which you request
the support of the Belgian Government for the newly
negotiated Open Skies Agreement. The position of the Belgian
government will be formalized in the coming days. At this
stage, however, everything seems to indicate that Belgium
will be in a position to accept the proposed agreement.
2. (SBU) Post will continue to probe for confirmation of the
Belgian position, and whether they can be helpful in moving
the British on the issue.
