CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
REF: A. SECSTATE 74383
¶B. 6/25 AND 7/17 BOWLES-SHEIVES EMAILS
Poloff delivered reftel points on July 17 to Friederike
Tschampa, ASEAN Regional Forum coordinator for the European
Council. She responded to the non-paper by restating the
EU's general agreement with our proposed statement, but noted
the EU's view that recent problems in Burma have little to do
with our non-paper points on guidelines or civilian-military
cooperation, and more to do with Burmese obstruction. The EU
intends to take up the issues from our proposed statement
when they co-chair the Inter-Sessional Meeting on Disaster
Relief with Indonesia in the fall.
