Viewing cable 07HELSINKI74, FINNISH RESPONSE - WMD FOREIGN CONSEQUENCE

If you are new to these pages, please read an introduction on the structure of a cable as well as how to discuss them with others. See also the FAQs

Understanding cables
Every cable message consists of three parts:
  • The top box shows each cables unique reference number, when and by whom it originally was sent, and what its initial classification was.
  • The middle box contains the header information that is associated with the cable. It includes information about the receiver(s) as well as a general subject.
  • The bottom box presents the body of the cable. The opening can contain a more specific subject, references to other cables (browse by origin to find them) or additional comment. This is followed by the main contents of the cable: a summary, a collection of specific topics and a comment section.
To understand the justification used for the classification of each cable, please use this WikiSource article as reference.

Discussing cables
If you find meaningful or important information in a cable, please link directly to its unique reference number.

SUBJECT: FINNISH RESPONSE - WMD FOREIGN CONSEQUENCE 
MANAGEMENT MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING 
 
REF: SECSTATE 12882 
 
1. (U) Embassy Helsinki POL, ECON and DAO have reviewed the 
proposed language for subject MOU and can identify no 
changes that would improve the likelihood of Finnish 
Government interest. 
 
2. (SBU) Without having consulted host country officials, 
Embassy judges the likelihood of GOF interest in concluding 
such an MOU with the United States to be high.  Finland has 
consistently taken a very pro-active interest in 
international cooperative efforts aimed at limiting the 
spread of WMD, and at this point we have little reason to 
believe they would oppose a possible avenue for 
international cooperation in the areas of WMD disaster 
consequence management. 
 
3. (U) Finnish MFA points of contact for further action on 
this issue would likely be Laura Kansikas-DeBrais, Director 
of the Political Department's Unit for Arms Control and 
Non-Proliferation, and/or Marja Lehto, Director of the 
Legal Department's Unit for Public International Law.
