Summary 
------- 
 
1. (C) On June 24 Mission discussed upcoming issues for 
Vienna-based international organizations with the French 
Mission, the next EU Presidency.  France welcomed early 
consultation with the U.S. and outlined priorities for its 
Presidency, focusing on those relevant to Vienna 
organizations: energy, climate change and immigration.  With 
regard to IAEA, there were no major divergences with the EU 
on non-proliferation issues.  France noted that the inclusion 
of an agenda item / report on Syria in the September Board 
would be necessary to coalesce EU support for blocking 
Syria's Board candidacy at the General Conference.  The EU 
was anxious not to repeat the divisive debate of the last two 
General Conferences on Middle East Safeguards and was giving 
preliminary consideration to Egyptian and Arab League texts. 
The U.S. urged early Board action on an eventual India 
Safeguards agreement, but the French, while supportive in 
their national position, were not sure that they could 
deliver the EU as a whole.  On Reliable Access to Nuclear 
Fuel (RANF), the French were likewise supportive of funding 
for the NTI-IAEA fuel bank but stressed the need to present 
the EU Council with a "clear concept."  Looking ahead to the 
November TACC, France expected the Secretariat to fully apply 
UNSCR restrictions on technical cooperation with Iran.  EU 
experts were also meeting in early July to consider an 
overhaul of IAEA technical cooperation programs.  Mission 
discussed the way ahead on 20/20, the French suggesting that 
we focus on discrete areas within the Agency's mandate.  The 
French indicated that there was not yet EU agreement on AIPS 
funding, which would be considered at the July 7 special 
Board meeting. 
 
2. (SBU) France underlined the importance of the Hague Code 
of Conduct and CTBTO to the EU, and noted that Cyprus's 
exclusion remained a "real problem" for Wassenaar.  For 
UNODC, France cited immigration and identity theft as 
important issues and sought to address drug demand and supply 
reduction in operational terms in the UNGASS working group. 
It could not support a voluntary assessment scale for UNODC. 
At UNCITRAL, the French sought to ensure consistency of EU 
and UNCITRAL rules and continued to support an ad hoc working 
group on working methods.  France also noted the first EU 
statement in COPUOS calling for a voluntary code of conduct 
on safety in outer space.  End summary. 
 
-------------------- 
US-EU Coordination 
-------------------- 
 
3. (SBU) Ambassador Schulte, DCM and UNVIE Counselors met 
informally with French Mission counterparts on June 24 to 
preview areas of cooperation for the French EU Presidency in 
Vienna-based organizations.  Drawing on themes in reftel, 
Ambassador Schulte sought close and early coordination with 
the EU, and noted the need to identify issues before they 
become fixed positions.  French Ambassador Deniau welcomed 
early consultation with the U.S., acknowledging that that it 
was difficult to change EU common positions once adopted.  He 
outlined four priorities for the French Presidency, energy, 
climate change, immigration and defense policy, with all but 
the latter relevant to Vienna organizations.  In addition to 
advancing Common Security Policy, France also will seek  to 
improve EU efficiency in formulating positions and regretted 
that the G-77 sometimes seem more adept than the EU.

Budget - 20/20 issues 
---------------------- 
 
4. (SBU) Nuclear Counselor reviewed the host of 
non-proliferation, energy, 20/20 and funding issues on the 
agenda for upcoming Board meetings and the October General 
 
UNVIE VIEN 00000368  002 OF 005 
 
 
Conference.  For the July 7 Special Board meeting, Deputy 
Counselor believed there were the outlines of a deal on AIPS 
and the Technical Cooperation Fund target.  French Counselor 
noted some reservations on AIPS funding among EU member 
states, observing that this was still a matter of discussion 
not consensus.  Looking ahead to the September Board and 
General Conference, Deputy Counselor suggested U.S.-EU 
consultations in July on a strategic approach to 20/20 report 
recommendations.  DCM related that the DG's senior advisor 
had admitted to him that the Secretariat had no idea what to 
do with the 20/20 agenda item in the September Board, which 
could cause mass confusion.  Deniau recommended that we not 
tackle 20/20 as a whole but focus on discrete slices of the 
Agency's mandate, such as technical cooperation or 
safeguards, and Ambassador Schulte wholly agreed.  Nuclear 
Counselor also flagged upgrading the Safeguards Analytical 
Laboratory as a difficult issue given funding implications 
but noted that we have not yet seen a proposal from the 
Secretariat. 
 
Non-Proliferation-Syria 
----------------------- 
 
5. (C) Nuclear Counselor did not expect any major differences 
with the EU on non-proliferation issues in the September 
Board, including on Iran, DPRK and expected agenda items on 
Syria and Libya.  He observed that Syria was bound to be 
problematic and DPRK developments could be of interest. The 
French speculated, based on press reports, that the 
Secretariat may report on the AQ Khan Network at the 
September Board, but could provide no further context. 
 
6. (C) Counselor also raised the prospect of Syria's Board 
candidacy necessitating a vote in the GC if an alternative 
were not found within the MESA group. (Note: The French noted 
the possibility of Kazakhstan as an alternative. End note.) 
The U.S. would let the word out about calling for a vote if 
Syria was the MESA group candidate, he advised.  Deniau 
opined that a report on Syria and agenda item for the 
September Board would help coalesce EU member support for any 
effort to block Syria's candidacy.  However, France was not 
sure that the Secretariat would put Syria on the agenda for 
September, though several Board members, including South 
Africa and Morocco, had asked for a report at the June Board 
meeting.  French DCM also questioned the mechanics of a GC 
vote and whether the entire slate of Board candidates would 
be subject to a vote or specific seats.  Nuclear Counselor 
noted that the GC rules of procedure allow any motion to be 
brought. 
 
Middle East Safeguards 
---------------------- 
 
7. (C) Ambassador Schulte stressed the importance of the EU 
stance in the Middle East GC debate and how the EU stays 
together in managing the issue (Note: Ireland broke EU 
consensus in the last GC on this issue. End note).  Deniau 
advised that the EU wanted to "get out of the strange 
position" it found itself in, and to avoid the divisions of 
last two General Conferences.  To that end, the EU was 
consulting early with Egypt and the Arab League and giving 
preliminary consideration to the draft texts each had 
circulated.  Ambassador Schulte questioned whether the EU was 
prepared to play a mediation role on this issue, but Deniau 
deferred, noting that it would depend on the EU position. 
 
Reliable Access-Nuclear Energy 
------------------------------ 
 
8. (C) Nuclear Counselor also noted the importance of 
Reliable Access to Nuclear Fuel (RANF), a Presidential 
initiative, which the U.S. hoped to actualize with a concrete 
proposal by the fall.  Asked about the EU stance on the 
NTI-IAEA fuel bank, Deniau questioned whether this proposal 
was ready, whether the "concept" was clear and what exactly 
the U.S. had agreed to fund.  Nuclear Counselor noted that 
the U.S. had agreed to the basic concept of the fuel bank, 
though the details had not been worked out.  Ambassador 
Schulte reported that the Secretariat had provided the EU 
with a fuel bank "concept paper" in Brussels, which the DG 
agreed to share with the U.S. 
 
9. (SBU) Deniau advised that Paris was in favor of EU funding 
 
UNVIE VIEN 00000368  003 OF 005 
 
 
for the NTI-IAEA fuel bank proposal, which was under 
discussion in the EU.  However, France needed a concrete 
concept to bring to the Council that specified, for example, 
if it would be a virtual or real fuel bank, a reserve supply 
or not, though Paris had no strong preference.  Nuclear 
Counselor noted that we were pushing the Secretariat to be 
clearer about its intentions. 
 
10. (SBU) French Counselor noted that the Secretariat was 
preparing two reports on Nuclear Energy for the September 
Board; though it was unclear any decision would be required. 
As current chair of the Friends of Nuclear Energy, France 
could only speak in a national capacity and asked about any 
prospect for a common EU position on nuclear energy; Deniau 
responded "Euratom" was just that. (Note: It would seem that 
France will continue to chair the Friends, though French 
Counselor did not answer directly. End Note.) 
 
India 
----- 
 
11. (C) Deniau was skeptical about the possibility of a 
special Board meeting to consider the India Safeguards 
agreement over the course of the summer, taking into 
consideration that the five-week review period put us into 
August.  Nuclear Counselor noted it could be sooner given 
that the review period only applied to undefined "significant 
documents" but Deniau questioned if there was a reason to 
force the issue.  Ambassador Schulte queried whether an EU 
position on the India Safeguards agreement could be useful to 
bring along Austria and Ireland.  Deniau advised that the EU 
will try to find common ground, but failing that would revert 
to national positions. 
 
12. (C) DCM underscored the need for quick and bold Board 
action on the India Safeguards agreement.  France, he noted, 
had played a significant role in shaping the approach to 
India over the last five years.  PM Singh's bold decision, 
prompting a political crisis in Delhi in advance of the G-8, 
deserved an equally bold Board response.  The U.S. hoped for 
quick action on an agreement if tabled in July, and cautioned 
that anything less than a clear welcome by the Board would 
send the wrong signal to those in Delhi debating the 
country's future role.  Deniau responded that France was 
convinced but he could not speak for the entire EU. 
 
Technical Cooperation - Iran 
---------------------------- 
 
13. (C) Nuclear Counselor raised the issue of dealing with 
technical assistance to Iran in the November TACC and Board 
meeting.  Deniau expected that the Secretariat would censure 
Iran's projects ahead of time in accordance with UNSCR 
provisions and not bring questionable projects to the TACC. 
UNSCRs were not yet in effect in November 2006 during the 
last biennial authorization of the technical cooperation 
program, Ambassador Schulte noted in agreement. Both the U.S. 
and France would consult with the Secretariat on this issue 
ahead of the November TACC. 
 
14. (SBU) The EU was also giving thought to a global overhaul 
of IAEA technical assistance and planned an experts meeting 
in early July on the subject.  Experts would examine 
qualitative aspects of TC projects and evaluative indicators 
of their utility.  The TC Director for Coordination would be 
invited. France agreed to brief the U.S. on this expert 
discussion.  Ambassador Schulte suggested that the Program of 
Action for Cancer Therapy (PACT) could be a model for other 
TC projects, including partnerships with other agencies and 
the private sector.  Revamping TC was also part of the 20/20 
process, he noted. 
 
Other issues 
------------ 
 
15. (SBU) Mission also flagged other upcoming IAEA issues, 
including the campaign for Director General, Israel's request 
to become a WEOG member and influencing NAM positions.  The 
incoming French Presidency took note of these issues but had

16. (SBU) Msnoff briefed on U.S. views for the future of the 
Wassenaar Arrangement (WA), including expansion to the 
greater Middle East region.  She welcomed French support at 
the May General Working Group for the U.S. proposal to invite 
the UAE to a post-Plenary briefing following the December 
2008 Plenary Meeting.  Although the U.S. also supported 
Cyprus's participation in WA, she cautioned that the divide 
over this issue should not detract from the substantive work 
of the WA and complicate the October General Working Group 
and December Plenary.  She hoped that the French Presidency 
could help keep this from becoming a divisive issue at either 
event.  Deniau responded that the Cyprus issue was a "real 
problem" as it was not acceptable to exclude an EU member 
from Wassenaar. 
 
17. (SBU) French Counselor underlined the strong EU consensus 
in support of the Hague Code of Conduct (HCOC), which it 
viewed as an important and effective instrument.  Deniau 
seconded this view, making an emphatic appeal for U.S. 
support of HCOC.  He observed that Hungary's incoming HCOC 
Chairmanship gives the issue added impetus in the EU context. 
 Noting that President Sarkozy's remarks at Cherbourg called 
for HCOC universalization, Deniau underlined that France is 
"expecting the Administration to look at it seriously." 
Mission explained that HCOC is dealt with out of Washington 
and agreed to relay this message.

CTBTO 
------ 
 
18. (SBU) French Counselor also highlighted the importance of 
CTBTO entry into force as a priority for the next three EU 
Presidencies, France, the Czech Republic and Sweden.  France 
expressed concerns about the G-77 position on freezing the 
establishment of more international monitoring stations 
(IMS). Looking at the IMS map, French DCM noted the need for 
more IMS stations in the Middle East, a point on which the 
U.S. generally agreed. The French delegation also noted 
"global agreement" on the upcoming contract extension for 
Executive Secretary Tibor Toth.

Drugs and Crime 
--------------- 
 
19. (SBU) According to the French, the EU rejects 
legalization of drugs as an option.  They emphasized that 
demand and supply reduction should be integrated in 
operational terms in the ongoing working group review of the 
drug resolution of the 1998 UN General Assembly Special 
Session (UNGASS).  French Mission noted that they were 
preparing papers for each of the working groups. 
 
20. (SBU) France cited immigration as a priority for their 
Presidency.  They intend to work through the UNTOC (also 
known as the Palermo Convention).  France also noted its 
interest in identity theft and working this issue through the 
convention.  Mission noted that this would be a debate theme 
for the next Crime Commission (April 2009). 
 
Working Group on Finance and Governance 
--------------------------------------- 
 
21. (SBU) France and the EU (like all major donors to the 
UNODC), want to improve the dialogue between UNODC and member 
states, and between donor countries and recipient countries. 
However, France does not wand a formalized structure which it 
believes could be vulnerable to G-77 pressure.  France is 
also opposed to indicative or voluntary assessment scale, 
because its government cannot know from year to year how much 
it could contribute to UNODC.

UNCITRAL 
-------- 
 
22. (SBU) The EU does not play a formal coordinating role in 
 
UNVIE VIEN 00000368  005 OF 005 
 
 
UNCITRAL, and the 11 EU states that are UNCITRAL members are 
sometimes at loggerheads on certain issues.  However, the 
French will work to ensure that UNCITRAL rules do not 
conflict with EU rules.  The French also want an ad-hoc 
working group to consider the working methods of UNCITRAL, an 
issue currently being debated at the UNCITRAL Commission 
meeting in New York. 
 
------ 
COPUOS 
------ 
 
23. (SBU) France made a statement in the last session of 
COPUOS on behalf of the EU, announcing the intention to 
propose a "code of conduct" for outer space.  They noted that 
this was the first time an EU statement had been delivered in 
the Committee.  (Note: The proposed code would aim to reduce 
the risk of collisions, minimize debris, and enhance mutual 
understanding between space-faring nations.  The objectives 
of the code would be to promote implementation of existing 
outer space agreements, to develop best practices for traffic 
management, and to strengthen mutual understanding and 
confidence between space-faring nations by improving 
communication and consultation.  The code would be voluntary 
and non-binding.  EU member states have worked at the expert 
level on a draft text, which the EU hopes to present soon to 
relevant international bodies, including COPUOS. End Note.) 
France also noted continuing informal bilateral consultations 
with the US on the sustainability of space operations, which 
it hopes 
to introduce as an agenda item in COPUOS in 2009.  (Note: 
This is an initiative of the former French chairman of 
COPUOS.  End Note.)
