1. (U) AgCouns delivered reftel points June 21 to Ate
Oostra, Director General, Dutch Ministry of Agriculture,
Nature, and Food Quality.
2. (SBU) Oostra said he had thought the vote would occur in
July. AgCouns conveyed the USG understanding that the vote
would occur June 25, and that the Belgians would vote in
favor rather than abstaining. Oostra noted the Dutch
position, as it had in the past, would remain in favor of
approving the biotech corn variety.
