Normalization of Iran`s nuclear case, a time consuming process: spokesman

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Vienna, Nov 25, IRNA -- IAEA spokesman Mark Gwozdecky here on Thursday
announced that normalization of Iran`s nuclear case is a time 
consuming process. 
He told IRNA that cooperation between Iran and the International 
Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been improved. However, there are 
still some problems in access to information in a timely manner, he 
added. 
Asked about Iran`s chances to be taken out from the IAEA Board 
of Governors agenda, the spokesman said that it depends on the 
decision taken by the board and Iran`s cooperation with the agency. 
A full suspension process has been in effect in Iran as of this 
week except Iran`s request for the IAEA to exempt the country from 
its research and development activities of 20 centrifuges. 
Terming Iran`s move to suspend uranium enrichment as a voluntary 
act, Gwozdecky said inspecting Iran`s nuclear installation is in need 
of a lengthy time. 
The IAEA spokesman further pledged to have robust inspection to 
Iran`s nuclear installations. 
The agency needs to have information on all undeclared nuclear 
materials and activities in Iran, he also said. 
Gwozdecky expressed the hope that Iran and the European countries 
would reach an agreement on research programs of the Iranian 
centrifuges in the next 24 hours. 
"Suspension of centrifuges activities is a confidence building 
measure," he said stressing that Iran is not under legal obligations 
to comply with the European requests to halt centrifuges activities.
