REF: SECSTATE 6989

(SBU) In response to the referenced request to report on the
status of implementation of the Berlin Declaration in host
countries, ESTH Officer spoke with Dr. Paula Fujiwara, CDC
officer on detail to the International Union against
Tuberculosis and Lung Disease. Dr. Fujiwara considers that
little headway has been made since the Declaration and that
it was likely that the "TB community" would use World TB day,
March 24, to push countries forward to meet Berlin
Declaration commitments, as well as brainstorm on how to
develop an action plan by Autumn 2008. She noted that with
France assuming the EU presidency in July 2008 this would
likely be one of the diplomatic points to push regarding the
health agenda in Europe.
