    REF: STATE 115523

    Classified By: Head of Economic Unit Shawn Gray, reasons 1.4 (b), (d)

    ¶1. (S) SUMMARY: The Dutch government agrees fully with U.S.
    concerns about Iran's lack of anti-money laundering and
    counterterrorist financing regime. They are already taking
    action and want the U.S. to have confidence in the
    Netherlands' commitment and ability to address the terrorism
    finance threat from Iran. Senior Finance Ministry officials
    complained that repetitive high-level demarches offering no
    new substantive information are not constructive. END
    SUMMARY.

    ¶2. (S) Econoff delivered reftel points November 4 to Eric
    Ligthart, Deputy Director Financial Integrity Division,
    Ministry of Finance, and two of his colleagues. Ligthart
    said the Dutch government considers itself a close ally of
    the U.S. on terrorism finance and worked to obtain a strong
    FATF statement on Iran at the Rio plenary. He said reftel
    points contained no information that the Dutch were not
    already aware of and taking steps to address. Moreover,
    Ligthart was dismayed that the U.S. government was again
    raising the issue of Credit Europe Bank's correspondent
    relationship with Iranian banks. He said the Dutch
    government was fully aware of the issue, having heard the
    message loud and clear in September when Treasury
    Undersecretary for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence
    Stuart Levey brought it to the attention of the Finance
    Ministry's number three official as well as senior Foreign
    Ministry counterterrorism officials. Ligthart said the Dutch
    government had taken action to resolve the issue and
    discussed these actions in detail when Dutch Embassy
    representatives met October 23 with Undersecretary Levey in
    Washington. Ligthart asked that the U.S. have confidence
    in the Netherlands' commitment and ability to implement
    FATF's guidance and UN Security Council Resolutions as they
    relate to the terrorism finance threat from Iran.

    ¶3. (S) Ligthart expressed concern that the concerted efforts
    by the U.S., Netherlands and many others to prevent funding
    of Iran's illicit activities were undermined by lax
    enforcement in certain Middle East financial centers. He
    said one need only look at those banks active in Dubai to
    gain an idea of which countries are involved in diverting
    funds to Iran.
