SUBJECT: EU GYMNICH/IRAN: DEMARCHE DELIVERED TO FRENCH, BUT
NO IMMEDIATE RESPONSE
REF: STATE 143323
(U) We delivered August 31 reftel demarche points on using
the EU Gymnich meeting to send a strong signal on Iran to MFA
CFSP Head Jean-Louis Falconi and acting head of the MFA's
non-proliferation unit Louis Vassy. In delivering the
demarche, we also indicated we were approaching other EU
capitals with the same message. We were unable to obtain an
informed reaction by the end of the day; his office cited the
press of business associated with staffing shortages and
preparations for the September 1-2 meeting.
