1. (C) In a follow-up conversation regarding the U.S.
domestic designation of three members of Al-Shabaab (Ref A),
a contact close to the EU's autonomous terrorist designations
process intimated that the EU may continue to consider itself
legally unable to autonomously designate entities linked to
Al Qaeda and Taliban via their Common Position 931 process.
Although this is not yet the official EU response, the USG
should expect to receive a similar response to that of Refs
B-C and septels regarding terrorist designations of certain
LeT individuals, Kuwait-based RIHS, and three Gulf-based Al
Qaida financiers. USEU will forward any formal EU response
once received. This is a continuing area of divergence
between U.S. and EU approaches to the interplay between
UNSCRs 1267 and 1373.
