1. (C) Denmark intends to support debt-relief for Haiti and
is in a "very preliminary" stage of considering donating
another USD six to ten million specifically to help children
and women, pending the needs assessment that is due to begin
February 22, according to Kit Clausen, MFA Section Head for
Latin America and acting Head of the Americas Department.
Clausen told A/DCM February 16 that she hoped her Government
would be able to make an announcement at the donors
conference in New York. She made clear that Denmark's
preference would be for such funds to be managed through a UN
or World Bank fund. In general, she said, Denmark wants to
act within the EU and with full respect for the role of the
UN. She added that her country does not see itself as a
major player in regard to Haiti.
2. (C) Even more preliminarily, according to Clausen,
Denmark is looking at the possibility of donating in the
range of USD one to 1.5 million to MINUSTAH. She did not/not
see any possibility of Denmark contributing personnel to
MINUSTAH or any logistical support to third-country
contributors to MINUSTAH.
Minimize considered.
