¶1. (C) Pol Off delivered reftel demarche April 3 to a wide
range of officials from the EU Council Secretariat, European
Commission, and Czech Permanent Representation to the EU. EU
officials welcomed the information. Boguslaw Majewski,
Council Secretariat Head of Unit for Asia, said that the EU
was launching an internal exercise to prioritize its own
"civilian surge" in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The exercise
will take stock of efforts by individual EU member states as
well as the EU collectively, with the hope of better aligning
resources and prioritizing EU engagement in Afghanistan and
Pakistan. Majewski said that one of the EU's goals is to
align its approach with that of the United States and to
coordinate with UNAMA. EU Special Representative for
Afghanistan and Pakistan Ettore Sequi is leading the
exercise. Separately, Czech Political and Security Committee
Ambassador to the EU Ivo Sramek thanked USEU Political
Minister Counselor for the information provided and said that
it was being taken into close consideration in internal EU
discussions on Afghanistan and Pakistan.
