No German demand for UN referral if Iran resumes uranium enrichment: official

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Berlin, Feb 14, IRNA -- The German government has not demanded a 
UN referral, if Iran does resume its uranium enrichment, German 
foreign ministry spokeswoman Antje Leendertse told IRNA in Berlin on 
Monday. 
She was referring to a DPA report on Sunday which quoted German 
Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer as saying that should current 
European diplomatic efforts fail to secure a suspension of Iran`s 
uranium enrichment activities, the case could be referred to the UN 
Security Council. 
"The (German) foreign minister stated Iran`s possible referral to 
the UN as a fact but it is not a demand by Germany," Leendertse 
stressed. 
She reaffirmed Berlin`s support for a diplomatic solution to the 
Iran nuclear row. 
"We believe that a diplomatic solution is of benefit to both 
sides, the Europeans as well as the Iranians," added the official, 
while pointing to "intensive talks".
