Classified By: Mario Fernandez, Pol-Econ Officer,
reasons 1.4(b) and (d)
(C) Post delivered reftel points on September 9 to Joao
Ribeiro de Almeida, Portugal's MFA Director for Common
Foreign and Security Policy and European Correspondent.
Although Ribeiro expressed concern regarding the plight of
internally displaced persons in Sri Lanka and acknowledged
that it would continue to be a difficult issue for the
foreseeable future, he stated his firm understanding that the
Sri Lanka Freedom of Movement issue was no longer on the
agenda for the September 14-15 GAERC discussions. He
therefore had no comment at this time.
