IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Vienna, Nov 29, IRNA -- Spokesman of the Iranian delegation to the IAEA Board of Governors Hossein Moussavian here on Monday outlined major points of the final draft resolution proposed by the EU countries on Iran`s activities. Talking to IRNA, he said three basic points stressed by Tehran has been inserted in the EU final draft. Suspension is being carried out by Iran as voluntarily, suspension of uranium enrichment by Iran is a confidence-building measure and suspension is not a legal obligation, are three major points stressed by Tehran, Moussavian added. Main and basic characteristics of the EU final draft is that Iran`s nuclear case will be taken out of the IAEA Board of Governors agenda, he said, adding that the move will let ElBaradei follow up all ambiguities and the remaining questions within the framework of the safeguards and the Additional Protocol and submits its final report at any time appropriate to the Board of Governors. Moussavian further added that all wordings that could be any how referred to a trigger mechanism in the previous drafts, that was a threat to refer Iran`s case to the UN Security Council, have been fully omitted. The proposed draft announces that all Iranian nuclear activities have been inspected by the IAEA and that no deviation has been witnessed towards making nuclear weapons in Iran`s nuclear activities, Moussavian said. The previous drafts stressed on "providing any access deemed necessary by the agency to all locations", he said, adding that the phrase, has been omitted from the final draft. The final draft reiterates that the IAEA access would be only within the framework of the safeguards and the Additional Protocol, Moussavian noted. "All fundamental changes envisioned by Iran have been inserted in the EU proposed draft. The existing draft is considered as according to the Paris agreement," he added. 1422/1432
