    ¶1. (C) Summary: Meeting in Luxembourg on June 15, EU
    Foreign Ministers prepared the June 18-19 European Council
    summit meeting on guarantees for Ireland and financial
    regulation, and they addressed the Middle East, Western
    Balkans, and Cuba. Significantly, they announced the
    approval of joint US-EU joint statement on Guantanamo. The
    EU-Israel Association Council was new Israeli Foreign
    Minister Lieberman's first interaction with EU Foreign
    Ministers since assuming his new post, but it resulted in no
    progress on upgrading relations. A planned dinner with the
    Secretary General of the Arab League was canceled over
    formalities, but a summit with King Abdullah of Jordan
    remained scheduled for the margins of the Council, as did a
    meeting between Enlargement Commissioner Rehn and the Foreign
    Ministers of both Slovenia and Croatia. End Summary.

    General Affairs
    ---------------

    ¶2. (SBU) Chaired by Czech Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign
    Minister Jan Kohout and Czech Minister of European Affairs
    Stephan Fule, the General Affairs Council discussed
    Guantanamo closure and preparations for the upcoming European
    Council meeting June 18-19. The Council adopted without
    discussion the EU-US Joint Statement on the closure of the
    Guantanamo Bay detention facility and future
    counter-terrorism cooperation. Summing up what he described
    as a joint effort of the Czech presidency, the EU
    counter-terrorism coordinator, and the U.S., Kohout said that
    joint statement was looking both to the past and to the
    future. Kohout stressed that Ministers had not discussed
    numbers of prisoners to be transferred, but about the means
    and conditions that give us a heading for a political
    agreement with the U.S.

    ¶3. (SBU) In addition to discussing Guantanamo, Ministers
    focused on preparing draft conclusions for the European
    Council meeting June 18-19, with guarantees for Ireland to
    organize another referendum on the Lisbon Treaty and
    financial regulation figuring prominently. Kohout reported
    that Irish colleagues presented a draft text of guarantees
    which he described as a result of consultations with the
    presidency and the Council's legal department. He said that
    very good progress had been made and that the process was on
    track. According to Kohout, the guarantees sought by the
    Irish involve social aspects, workers rights, taxation, and
    security and defense (septel). Suggesting that this was
    still a work in progress, Kohout reported that the final
    round of consultations among the EU27 would start on June 16.

    ¶4. (SBU) Kohout said that the aim of the presidency was to
    ensure a smooth passage of the text at the European Summit
    and that it not reopen the ratification process for Lisbon,
    nor go against the consensus reached at the December 2008
    summit. Suele reported that while the EU27 should approach
    the issue of the Irish guarantees with creativity, the
    means should not create problems in the other Member States.
    Some Member States expressed concern that adopting a protocol
    as opposed to just a declaration could reopen domestic debate
    in their countries on ratification of the Lisbon Treaty.

    ¶5. (SBU) Kohout reported that the presidency received broad
    support for its draft of the European Council conclusions on
    1) financial regulation and support for a new framework based
    on proposals by the Commission, 2) climate change (which will
    reflect the conclusions of the last Ecofin Council), 3)
    immigration (Kohout saying a European response based on
    solidarity was needed and that conclusions will touch upon
    cooperation with both countries of origin and transit), 4)
    Afghanistan-Pakistan, and 5) the Middle East.

    External Affairs - the Middle East
    ----------------------------------

    ¶6. (SBU) Chaired by Czech Deputy PM and FM Kohout, the
    External Affairs session focused on the Middle East, Western
    Balkans, and Cuba. The Council welcomed the initial step
    announced by Israeli Prime Minister (PM) Netanyahu of
    commitment to a peace that would include a Palestinian state
    and urged both parties to take immediate steps to resume
    BRUSSELS 00000854 002.2 OF 003
    peace negotiations, respecting previous agreements and
    understandings. Kohout said great attention was also paid to
    the June 4 speech of President Obama. He said that the
    positions of the EU and the U.S. were remaMiddle East. of Jue 15 did not yield much progress.
    According 4o the Israeli Embassy, Ferrero-Waldner and others
    emphasized that the mood was not right Qt this point for
    progress on the upgrade in rQlations decided in 2008. The
    Action Plan (the implementation document for the Association
    Agreement) expired in May 2009 and was simply continued, with
    the EU also not wanting to move forward at this time. There
    was no joint statement from the Association Council meeting,
    and the statement issued by the EU links forward movement on
    the upgrade in relations to the context of the peace
    process. In addition, a dinner planned for June 14 between
    the EU Troika and the Arab League Secretary General Amr
    Moussa was canceled in a disagreement over formalities, but
    then Spanish Foreign Minister Moratinos hosted a personal
    invitation dinner June 15 which included some Arab states
    (reportedly Algeria, the UAE, Palestinian Authority, and the
    Arab League's Amr Moussa) and a handful of Europeans.

    ¶9. (SBU) On Iran, the Council noted concerns regarding the
    conduct of the Iranian presidential elections and expressed
    serious concern about the violence on the streets and the use
    of force against peaceful demonstrators. HR Solana said that
    the elections had been followed with attention. While
    noting the high level of voter turnout, he said that the EU
    was now concerned by events unfolding in Tehran and added we
    want a solid relationship with Iran - we have a lot to do
    together.

    External Affairs - Western Balkans
    ----------------------------------

    ¶10. (SBU) The GAERC Conclusions called for the countries of
    the region to further accelerate and implement reforms
    necessary to fulfill the necessary accession-related
    benchmarks. During the working lunch, Ministers had an
    exchange of views with ICTY Chief Prosecutor Brammertz,
    following his report to the UNSC on cooperation by Serbia and
    other countries with the ICTY. Commissioner Rehn reported
    that the Council brought the Commission some good news on
    the Western Balkans and welcomed the Council's invitation to
    the Commission to present a proposal for a legislative
    framework for visa free travel for those countries that will
    have met the benchmarks. Rehn reported that the Commission
    BRUSSELS 00000854 003.2 OF 003
    will present this proposal before the summer break.

    ¶11. (SBU) Regarding the ongoing border dispute between
    Slovenia and Croatia which hampers Croatia's EU accession
    negotiations, Rehn reported that he had met with the
    presidency trio and then with the Slovene and Croatian FMs,
    adding we will continue the discussions to find a solution.
    He said that the presidency trio endorses the process and
    that the two FMs will now consult further with their
    respective governments. Later, Rehn confessed that
    productivity could be higher, but we're doing indepth work
    with colleagues.

    ¶12. (SBU) Asked to comment about a lack of achievement on
    Enlargement during the Czech presidency, FM Kohout said that
    the questioner was right, but due to circumstances results
    could not materialize so far - we still have two weeks time
    and I'm still optimistic. Asked whether Serbia would be
    debated again at the European Council, Kohout said that
    today's discussion had been in an informal setting (over
    lunch) and that my feeling is that we are closer to
    understanding what we can do - I can't exclude that the
    European Council will address the issue. Responding to a
    question about people-to-people contacts with Kosovo,
    Commissioner Rehn said that the issue would be addressed in a
    feasibility study to be presented by the Commission in
    October and confirmed that the Commission wanted to work for
    the Europeanization of Kosovo.

    ¶13. (C) A friendly country contact told us that the
    discussion on Serbia was the most contentious of the GAERC,
    wherein Dutch FM Verhagen dug himself a complete hole.8
    Swedish FM Bildt and UK FM Miliband reportedly &got very
    cross8 with the Dutch FM blocking the interim agreement
    until Mladic and Hadzic are turned over to the ICTY.
    Belgrade is doing better and needs forward movement with the
    EU, our contact contended, and he attributed Verhagen,s
    obduracy not only to the legacy of Srebrenica, but to his
    wanting to be seen as tough in the context of Dutch
    parliamentary politics.

    External Affairs - Cuba and Other Countries
    -------------------------------------------

    ¶14. (SBU) In the context of the annual review of the EU
    Common Position, the Council welcomed the resumption of the
    political dialogue with Cuba. Further, the Council said that
    the political dialogue should be pursued and deepened on a
    comprehensive, equal and result-oriented basis. The Council
    also agreed to review its Common Position on Cuba again in
    June 2010. FM Kohout reported that meetings with the Cuban
    opposition would go ahead at all opportunities. Asked
    about reaction to a letter reportedly sent to the Czechs by
    Cuban groups calling for a tougher approach on the part of
    the EU, Kohout said that the Czech Republic would return to
    be a normal member state as of July 1st and will then be
    defining a position. He noted that contacts with the Cuban
    opposition are a constant of European policy and added the
    contacts we had gave us the feeling that these contacts make
    sense.

    ¶15. (SBU) On Burma, the Council reviewed EU policy on Burma
    in the light of developments in the country, in particular
    political prisoners, ethnic minorities, respect for human
    rights, and progress toward the establishment of an inclusive
    democratization process in the run-up to planned elections.
    The debate focused on the ongoing trial of Aung San Suu Kyi,
    the Council agreeing to issue a statement on the occasion of
    her anniversary of imprisonment on June 19 (which coincides
    with the European Council meeting).

    ¶16. (SBU) Concerning Moldova, the Council adopted
    negotiating guidelines for a new government with Moldova
    which are aimed at taking relations beyond the current
    partnership and association agreement.
