1. (U) Econoff delivered reftel points May 23 to Dutch
Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) officials Joan Wiegman,
Deputy Head, Nuclear Affairs and Non-Proliferation Division,
and Huib Mijnarends, Senior Policy Officer on Iran Sanctions
within the MFA's Terrorism and New Threats Unit.
2. (SBU) Wiegman said there were "almost no" Dutch arms
exports to Iran, and that the GONL was fully behind the EU's
"united front" supporting full implementation of UN Security
Council Resolutions and the P5 plus 1 offer. The Dutch, she
added, also supported the arms embargo adopted by the EU in
its April 23 Common Position (CP) that incorporated UNSCR
1747.
3. (SBU) Wiegman noted the GONL had submitted its 1747
report to the UN the week of May 14. While the EU had still
to develop implementing regulations for the CP, she added,
UNSCR 1747 requirements had already been incorporated into
Dutch law. The Dutch, therefore, considered the CP and its
implementing regulations as "only formalities," she said.
MINIMIZE CONSIDERED.
