1. (C) Pol-EconCouns delivered reftel demarche September 29
to Aron Bonanno, Head of Section in MFA's Security Policy
Dept, and Lene Hothes of MFA's Iran desk. Bonanno replied
that Denmark is in total agreement with the USG; Iran must
live up to its international obligations. MFA is eager to
hear a readout of the October 1 Geneva meeting between the
P5 1 and Iran, ideally ahead of Foreign Minister Per Stig
Moeller's meeting with members of the Danish parliament the
next day. Denmark agrees that the Geneva meeting must
include discussion of the nuclear issue, and sees no reason
for Iran not to provide full transparency if its nuclear is
purely civilian as it claims.


2. (C) Bonanno noted that the Secretary had welcomed Iran's
acceptance of inspections at the new site, and hoped such
inspections would occur as soon as possible.


3. (C) Denmark is prepared to support additional sanctions
if Iran fails to live up to its obligations, Bonanno
continued. Denmark's preference would be for UN sanctions,
but FM Moeller supported having the EU start working on
identifying where sanctions could be most effective.


4. (SBU) The UK embassy contacted us to say it had
instructions to coordinate a joint demarche on this topic
with us and the French, and that the French embassy had
similar instructions. We explained that we had no such
instructions, had already delivered reftel demarche and had
received a very positive answer from Bonanno.
