Iran-EU talks on nuclear program to resume late July

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, July 13, IRNA -- Iranian negotiations with the three 
European partners on its national nuclear program will resume late 
July, the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) said on Tuesday. 
The SNSC said that "Sharq Persian daily" has made a mistake in 
carrying an interview with the television by Secretary of SNSC 
Hassan Rowhani saying that no negotiations will be held with the big 
three European states. 
Iran signed Tehran Declaration with foreign ministers of France, 
ritain and Germany on October 21, 2003 according to which the three 
European partners undertook to supply Iran with nuclear technology in 
return for Iranian decision to sign up to additional protocol to 
Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) which granted intrusive inspection of 
nuclear sites by inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency 
(IAEA). 
Iran is critical of the stance taken by the three European 
partners ahead of the meeting of IAEA Board of Governors in mid June 
which drafted a resolution which ignored Iran`s full cooperation 
with the international watchdog. 
The context of the draft resolution was totally different from 
that of the Tehran Declaration and Iran protested to the three big 
European states terming the draft inconsistent with former agreement.
