1. (C) WASHINGTON ANALYSTS GREATLY APPRECIATE THE
EXCELLENT REFS ON ITALIAN-RUSSIAN RELATIONS AND WOULD
APPRECIATE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS TOPIC, AS
POST'S TIME AND RESOURCES PERMIT. BECAUSE ITALY IS ONE OF
RUSSIA'S STRATEGIC PARTNERS IN EUROPE, THERE IS SIGNIFICANT
POLICYMAKER INTEREST IN ITALY'S POLICIES TOWARDS RUSSIA AND
THE FACTORS DRIVING THOSE POLICIES. ANY INFORMATION REGARDING
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIGH-LEVEL OFFICIALS, PARTICULARLY
THOSE BETWEEN ITALIAN PRIME MINISTER SILVIO BERLUSCONI AND
RUSSIAN PRIME MINSTER VLADIMIR PUTIN OR RUSSIAN PRESIDENT
DIMITRY MEDVEDEV, AND ITALIAN FOREIGN POLICY TOWARDS RUSSIA
WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

2. (C) THERE IS ALSO CONTINUED POLICYMAKER INTEREST IN THE
ITALIAN GOVERNMENT'S ECONOMIC RELATIONSHIP WITH RUSSIA,
PARTICULARLY IN THE ENERGY SECTOR. ITALY IS AT THE FOREFRONT
OF EUROPEAN ENERGY AND CONTINUES TO ENGAGE IN BUSINESS DEALS
WITH GAZPROM, THE RUSSIAN ENERGY GIANT. ENI, ITALY'S
PARTIALLY STATE-OWNED ENERGY CONGLOMERATE, IS GAZPROM'S
LARGEST PARTNER IN ITS EFFORTS TO STREAMLINE THE SOUTH STREAM
PIPELINE, AND WE ARE VERY INTERESTED IN HOW THE TWO COMPANIES
ARE OPERATING TOGETHER. U.S. POLICYMAKERS ALSO REMAIN
INTERESTED IN ITALY'S MOVEMENT TOWARDS ENERGY DIVERSIFICATION
AND THE RESTART OF ITS NUCLEAR PROGRAM. ANALYSTS WELCOME ANY
AVAILABLE INFORMATION ON THESE TOPICS, AS TIME AND RESOURCES
PERMIT.

A. (U) FOREIGN AND ECONOMIC POLICY:

1) (C) PLEASE PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ON THE PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN RUSSIAN PM VLADIMIR PUTIN AND ITALIAN PM
SILVIO BERLUSCONI. WHAT PERSONAL INVESTMENTS, IF ANY, DO THEY
HAVE THAT MIGHT DRIVE THEIR FOREIGN OR ECONOMIC POLICIES?

2) (C) WHAT FACTORS ARE DRIVING ITALY'S FOREIGN POLICY WITH
RUSSIA?

3) (C) HOW DO ITALIAN LEADERS VIEW U.S. FOREIGN POLICY
TOWARDS RUSSIA. HAVE ITALIAN POLITICAL OR BUSINESS LEADERS
INFLUENCED RUSSIAN POLICY AGAINST U.S. INTERESTS, AND IF SO,
HOW?

B. (U) ENERGY POLICY:

1) (C) WHAT ARE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS' AND ENI
OFFICIALS' VIEWS ON ITALY'S ENERGY RELATIONSHIP WITH RUSSIA
AND THE SOUTH STREAM PROJECT? WHERE DOES ITALIAN ENERGY
POLICY CONVERGE WITH RUSSIAN ENERGY POLICY, ESPECIALLY
REGARDING LIBYA AND THE BALKANS?

2) (C) PLEASE PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ON THE RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN ENI EXECUTIVES, INCLUDING CEO SCARONI, AND ITALIAN
GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, ESPECIALLY PM BERLUSCONI AND THE
MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

3) (C) PLEASE PROVIDE EXAMPLES, IF POSSIBLE, OF ANY
INSTANCES WHERE THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT MADE DECISIONS TO
BENEFIT ITALIAN BUSINESS OR COMMERCIAL INTERESTS AT THE
EXPENSE OF POLITICAL CONCERNS ABOUT ENERGY POLICY.

3. (U) PLEASE CITE C-RE9-02730 IN THE SUBJECT LINE OF
REPORTING IN RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTIONS.
