1. (C) On October 29 we met with Donatas Ziugzda, Head of
the MFA's Arms Control, Non-Proliferation and Disarmament
Division to discuss reftel. Ziugzda promised to consider the
information and discuss it with the head of the Threat
Analysis, Crisis Management and International Operations
Division,
Gintaras Stonys. In addition, he said that the GOL would
inform Lithuanian banks to exercise greater vigilance with
any transactions that involve Iranian entities. Also,
Ziugzda noted that the GOL has a political obligation to
follow FATF guidelines. Although the GOL is not a member of
FATF, it does follow its recommendations when drafting legal
guidance.
