French delegation to Johannesburg would be led by
Ambassador-at-Large for the Fight Against Organized Crime,
Jean-Pierre Vidon. (Legue will join the delegation.)
2. (SBU) France shares U.S. views on the need to focus attention
on promoting the UN Convention Against Corruption, and on
international cooperation on asset recovery efforts. It would
encourage a final declaration that reflected these concerns.
Legue expressed a degree of surprise over U.S. intentions to
consider ending the Global Forum process, but he did not say
that France would oppose such a move. He promised to brief
Ambassador Vidon on the U.S. position in advance of GF V.
