1. (C) Embassy delivered reftel points to the MFA
Multilateral Affairs Directorate on January 30 and followed
up with Multilateral Affairs Director General Lourdes Puma on
February 13. Puma reiterated that the GOE fully supports
non-proliferation efforts, especially against non-State
actors. She then qualified that support by adding that the
decision to sanction the 13 individuals and three companies
was the U.S.'s, and that the U.S. had the right to sanction
whom it wanted. When asked, Puma said that she did not
recognize any of the sanctioned individuals' or companies'
names.
