1. (C) Poloff discussed points in reftel regarding U/S
Burns attendance at the P5 1 meetings in Geneva with Italian
MFA Non Proliferation Director Emanuele Farruggia July 17.
Farruggia said Political Director Terzi appreciated
Ambassador Spogli's phone call on July 16 regarding U/S
Burns' participation and said that Italy welcomed the move.
Farruggia noted that given time constraints Italy understood
that it might not be possible to hold Quint (EU3 Italy
U.S.) discussions before the July 19 meeting. However, he
said they hoped it would be possible to organize a conference
call early next week to include Italy in the discussions, as
per our informal agreements to include them in Iran P5 1
deliberations.
2. (C) On the discussions underway in the EU regarding the
Common Position on UNSCR 1803, he said he doubted agreement
would be reached by the July 22 GAERC. However, he was
cautiously optimistic that agreement could be reached before
the end of July and said the French were hoping to find a way
to do so, possibly taking advantage of the upcoming Justice
and Internal Affairs meeting scheduled for the end of the
month. He said the EU4 were working together well and that
the French had passed the Italians a copy of Iran's letter of
response to the P5 1's package earlier this month. He hoped
Quint consultations on Iran would continue.
