European States Agree
To Syrian Sanctions
Paris (JTA) — Eleven of the
12 European Economic Com-
munity (EEC) member states
agreed last Monday to sanc-
tions against Syria on the
basis of Britain's charge that
the Damascus government
was involved with terrorist
acts.
Only Greece refused to con-
demn Syria or vote for the
fourpoint sanctions program
at the EEC's Ministers con-
ference in London, hosted by
British Foreign Scretary Sir
Geoffrey Howe. The sanctions
themselves are considerably
less than Britain demanded
at an earlier EED Ministers
conference in Luxembourg.
They call for a total ban on
arms sales to Syria; suspen-
sion of high level exchange
visits between Syria and
EEC countries; police sur-
veillance of Syrian diplomatic
missions; and security con-
trols on the Syrian Arab
Airlines.
Britain broke diplomatic
relations with Syria on Oc-
tober 24, after charging that
the Syrian Ambassador in
London and his staff acted in
collusion with Nezar Hin-
dawi, the Jordanian national
convicted of attempting to
smuggle explosives aboard an
El Al airliner at Heathrow
Airport last April 17.
At the Luxembourg meet-
ing, Howe had urged his EEC
partners to follow Britain's
lead, or at very least recall
their Ambassadors from
Damascus. In London, how-
ever, he agreed to accept
watered down sanctions in
order, reportedly, to overcome
the objections of Spain, Italy,
France and West Germany. -‹
The EEC Council of Min-
isters will set up an ad hoc
working committee to imple-
ment the sanctions. But they
are not considered likely to do
Syria much harm. The ban on
Western arms sales, di%
strongest measure, will be`
more than offset by the
Soviet Union which has long
been Syria's major supplier of
weapons and military equip-
ment.
France stopped arms ship-
ment to Syria last March and
Britain has sold only US $20
million worth of equipment to
Syria over a three year period,
mainly communications
equipment which Syria can
easily obtain elsewhere.
Prime Minister Jacques
Chirac of France and Chan-
cellor Helmut Kohl of West -
Germany agreed to back Bri-
tain while preserving rela-
tions with Syria. France went
along despite an announce-
ment by a pro-Syrian group in
Beirut - that it will release
three French hostages within _
24 hours. Extremist Shiite
groups in Lebanon with close
links to Syria and Iran still
hold eight French nationals --
hostage.
The decision to impose --
sanctions on Syria took the
form of "the President's -
statement" because Greece's
refusal breached the unanimi-
ty required of all EEC join
decisions. Howe is the current
President of the Council of
Ministers.

Friday, November 14, 1986 THE DETROIT JEWISH NEWS
New York (JTA) — The
United States may have
received the cooperation of
Israelis in supplying Amer-
ican weapons spare parts to
Iran in efforts to negotiate
the release of American
hostages in Lebanon, ac-
cording to an Israel Radio
report last week.
The broadcast said that
Robert McFarlane, former
National Security Advisor to
President Reagan, met with
Israeli officials, including
David Kimche when he was
Director-General of the
Foreign Ministry until last
month when Yitzhak Shamir
replaced Shimon Peres as
Prime Minister under the na-
tional unity c government's
rotation agreement. McFar-
lane and Kimche are reported-
ly very friendly. The Israel
Consul General in New York
was not available for
comment.
The Speaker of the Iranian
Parliament, Hajatolislam
Hashemi Rafsanjani, an-
nounced that McFarlane and_
four other Americans made a
secret mission to Iran in
September offering American
spare parts.
Sources in the U.S. govern-
ment confirmed that the Ad-
ministration was involved in
an ongoing effort to allow
spare parts to reach Iran
through parties in efforts to
win Iranian assistance in con-
trolling terrorism, according`
to press reports.
Rafsanjani was quoted in
the Iranian and Americat
press saying that McFarlane
and four unidentified Amer-
icans arrived last September
on a plane loaded with spare
parts, posing as crew mem-
bers. Iran reportedly pur-
chased the equipment from
international arms dealers.
McFarlane and his four
escorts were reportedly held
in a hotel room for five days
and then departed.

Agency reported last month
on a court case involving a
