1. (SBU) Econoff delivered ref A points December 8 regarding
domestic designation, and submission to the UN 1267 Sanctions
Committee, of five terrorist facilitators (list 83) to Joost
van Ettro, Policy Officer, Terrorism and New Threats Unit,
Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA),and Anne-Chris
Visser, Senior Advisor, Integrity Division, Dutch Ministry of
Finance. Econoff delivered ref B points regarding the hold on
three of the designations to van Ettro, Visser, and Andre van
Wiggen, Deputy Director at the MFA's Terrorism and New
Threats Unit, on January 19.
2. (SBU) In a conversation December 18, Visser told Econoff
that she had sent ref A details to the Dutch Central Bank and
the Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets. Neither
organization had any questions and considered the information
"very clear," she said. However, the Dutch would not
designate on a national level and would wait instead for the
UN or EU to act, Visser said. She added that this was the
normal path unless proof existed that the facilitators were
active locally. In such cases, Visser noted, the Dutch would
propose designating the individuals at the EU level.
3. (SBU) During a subsequent conversation January 31, Van
Ettro thanked Econoff for the information regarding the UN
designations of two of the facilitators, and confirmed that
the Dutch would wait for the UN to act on the other three
individuals. Van Ettro reassured Econoff that in all cases --
including those with UN holds on the proposed designations --
MFA informs its national partners, investigates the
information, and takes action if appropriate. To date, there
have been no findings in the Netherlands of activity related
to the five terrorist facilitators, van Ettro added. He said
he would inform post of any new information received or
actions taken.
