(C) ESTHOFF made reftel points January 12 to MFA Disarmament
Affairs Deputy Director General Ignacio Sanchez, briefing him
on recent U.S. efforts to encourage Brazilian participation
in the Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI) and passing
copies of the nonpapers prepared to answer Brazilian
concerns. Sanchez said that Spain was considering further
approaches to Brazil in the aftermath of repeated Spanish
2006 demarches to encourage Brazilian PSI membership. Rather
than another demarche, Spain is considering hosting a PSI
event in Latin America along with another Latin American PSI
member. Brazil would be invited to observe. Spain is also
considering enlisting Argentina in a PSI approach to Brazil.
Sanchez said that Spain would continue to keep the U.S.
informed of its active efforts to encourage greater Latin
American PSI participation.
