Karel van Kesteren (MFA Director of UN affairs) followed up 
on Nov 17 demarche (refs) with Poloff December 9 to report 
that the CONUN (EU working group on the UN) had recently 
discussed stronger EU funding of the UNFICYP, concluding that 
the EU was "very reluctant with regard to additional 
voluntary financing for it."  He said that member states 
stressed "the need to uphold the normal principles for a PKO; 
if the world community decides that a PKO is needed, it must 
pay up for it, otherwise, we run the risk that we end up with 
peacekeeping a la carte."
