EU Must Accept Tehran's N-Program: Iranian Official |
2005-03-15 |
A senior Iranian nuclear negotiator said yesterday that the European Union must accept Iran's uranium enrichment program, Iranian student news agency ISNA reported. "The Europeans have continuously demanded a halt to enrichment but this demand was not included in the agreement. The Europeans must accept Iran's uranium enrichment," said Sirus Naseri, referring to an initial deal reached with the EU last year. Britain, France and Germany have been trying to secure "objective guarantees" that Iran will not use its atomic energy ambitions to acquire nuclear weapons, and in exchange they are offering a package of trade, security, diplomatic and technology benefits to Tehran. "The negotiations have progressed well in the political and economic committees, but in the nuclear committee there has been less progress," said Naseri, who led the Iranian team in talks last week in Geneva with EU negotiators Britain, France and Germany. He stressed that the negotiating period was not "indefinite" and if no "reasonable agreement" were reached, Iran would be prepared to break off the talks and "accept the consequences". |

#6 EU can also accept my dog pooping in the front lawn too, but it still has to be cleaned up. |

#5 You cannot "demand" something unless you have a stick on standby to back up your "demand." And the Eeeeeewww-3 cannot negotiate with the MMs by crawling on their knees to the negotiating table with with a sack full of trinkets. |

#4 âThe Europeans have continuously demanded a halt to enrichment but this demand was not included in the agreement... So much for the value of the EU's "negotiations". |

#1 Well he's right. The EU is incapable of doing anything to prevent it except offer bribes. Whether the bribes are accepted or not is of little consequence. If America and Israel were out of the equation, the EU would get their empty promises and the MM would get their nukes. We're witnessing another example of EU bad judgement & impotence, as if another was needed. |
