(C) Poloff delivered reftel demarche to MFA UN Desk Officer
Luca Laudiero February 25. Laudiero said Italy had no

piracy off the coast of Somalia, which Italy agreed was a
serious problem. He said, however, that it was unlikely
Italy would be able to provide direct assistance, such as
naval assets.
