CONTIL ENTIAL
COMMENT
4. IT IS A TRIBUTE TO TRAN'S STRATEGIC VISION THAT HE HAS BROUGHT DISCUSSIONS ON NEW SUBJECTS TO THIS POSITION IN PARALLEL WITH THE
INTENSIVE FORMAL NEGOTIATIONS OF THE PAST THREE WEEKS. IF THE US ALLOW THEMSELVES TO BECOME INVOLVED, THERE WOULD, AS SEEN FROM HERE, BE ADVANTAGE IN AGREEING TO A PRESIDENCY PRESENCE. THE COMMISSION FULLY UNDERSTAND THAT WE WOULD WISH TO DISTANCE THE UK'S NATIONAL POSITION FROM TRAN'S UNDERTAKING.
