1. Post forwarded on January 7 ref A letter for the Dutch to
attend WIREC to Minister of Economic Affairs Maria van der
Hoeven. Post also received and delivered on January 8 ref B
invitation for van der Hoeven to serve on WIREC's Bioenergy
Feedstocks Panel.
2. On January 10, Econoff spoke with Femke Smeets, a Policy
Advisor in the Directorate General for Foreign Economic
Relations of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (MEA) and the
GONL's working level WIREC contact. Smeets said van der
Hoeven would not be able to attend WIREC because of other
obligations, but the MEA would probably send Director General
for Energy and Telecom Mark Frequin or Deputy Director
General Pieter Boot.
3. Jacqueline Cramer, Minister for the Environment and
Spatial Planning, was also interested in attending, Smeets
added, and that her Ministry would be the appropriate
Ministry to contact for funding now that the MEA was not
planning to send a ministerial-level delegate. Smeets said
she had informed OES PDAS Harnish of these developments in a
discussion on January 9.
4. Smeets said MEA's Export Promotion Department (EVD) had
been identifying Dutch private sector attendees for WIREC and
the agenda provided in ref B would facilitate this process.
5. Post's WIREC POC is Jay Heung, 0031-70-310-2339,
heungj2@state.gov. GONL's WIREC POC is Femke Smeets,
