1. (C) On October 30 we met with Dr. Irena Skardziuviene,
Head of the MFA's UN and Council of Europe Division and on
October 31 we saw the Ministry of Transport's Director of the
Water Transport Department, Juozas Darulis and Deputy, Livita
Kretkovskiene to discuss reftel. Skardziuviene said the MFA
would have to consider the U.S. position in light of other
countries with which Lithuania might have mutual agreements.
However, she said that many countries have an interest in
shipping but not all should be in category A. In
Skardziuviene's view, it is normal that the United States
would be in this category.
2. (C) Darulis and Kretkovskiene stated they had no doubts
that they would support the U.S. candidacy for category A, as
they recognize the help the United States provides Lithuania
and the world in the domain of shipping. The MFA solicited
the Water Transport Department for its position and Darulis
and Kretkovskiene said they would respond to the MFA on
Monday, November 5. In addition, Darulis stated he would
attend the IMO Assembly in London as a voting representative
from Lithuania.
