1. (C) On May 23, Emboff discussed Burma donor's conference
reftels with MFA Asia, Africa, and Pacific Division Third
Secretary Matjaz Marko. Emboff urged the GOS to join the
U.S. in speaking out against the Burmese regime if an
agreement is not reached during the Burma conference to allow
an independent needs assessment and immediate and greater
access to cyclone-affected areas. Marko said that the
Slovenian EU Presidency is working on a "strictly
humanitarian" statement about the donor's conference to be
released this afternoon on behalf of the EU, and that the
Deputy Head of Mission at the Slovenian Embassy in Beijing
will represent the EU Presidency at the Burma conference.
Marko also confirmed that Ambassador Friedrich Hamburger
would lead the European Commission's delegation and that
there would be representatives from several other EU Member
States in attendance.
