Summary.
--------------------------------------------- --
Coordination on G-20 and Summit of the Americas
--------------------------------------------- --
¶4. (C) Following on a suggestion of both Presidents during
their March 14 meeting, Patriota proposed the Secretary and
Brazilian Foreign Minister Amorim meet to discuss Summit of
the Americas outcomes on April 1 or 2 just prior to the G-20
summit in London. He noted the Brazilian G-20 sherpa met
with his U.S. counterpart in Washington on March 16, and will
return shortly to meet with Treasury Department officials.
Steinberg described the U.S. ambition to bring a strong human
dimension to the Summit of the Americas by keeping the focus
on issues like addressing inequality and poverty.
---------------------------
EPA Rule-making on Biofuels
---------------------------
¶5. (C) Brazil is concerned an EPA draft rule on the
classification of Brazilian ethanol will sharply curtail
trade in biofuels and deal a severe political blow to our
bilateral biofuels cooperation. The GOB believes the EPA
process is politically motivated, and would like an
opportunity for Brazilian scientists to present
counter-arguments.
----------------
Venezuela, Haiti
----------------
¶6. (C) Following on a request POTUS made of President Lula
during their March 14 meeting, Patriota said the Government
of Brazil had approached Caracas on Venezuelan reticence to
grant visas for U.S. diplomats. Without providing specifics,
Patriota indicated "there seems to be cause for some
optimism" on the subject. Turning to Haiti, Patriota
indicated the GOB is eager coordinate with WHA ahead of the
April Haiti Donors' Conference in mid-April. Steinberg noted
the our interest in improving the situation in Haiti, and
welcomed Brazil's engagement.
--------------------------
Other High-Level Dialogues
--------------------------
¶7. (C) The Government of Brazil has named a new U/S for
Political Affairs (Note: Vera Machado), and Patriota asked
that we resume our P-level strategic dialogue as soon as
possible. The GOB also want to resume our Assistant
Secretary-level dialogues on Africa and Middle East, when
appropriate personnel are in place. Deputy Foreign Minister
Samuel Guimaraes, who has not visited the United States
during his six years in the number two position in the
foreign ministry, has asked to meet with Deputy Secretary
Steinberg, which the Deputy welcomed.
