Solana: EU to send reply to Iran

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Brussels, Nov 7, IRNA
EU-Iran
EU High Representative for Common Foreign and Security Policy Javier Solana said Monday that the EU has received a letter from Iran calling for a resumption of negotiations over the country's nuclear program.

"We have received the letter and we will now analyze it. We will see what is new and we will respond. We cannot say much more now and we have not seen much new but it is complicated to analyze," Solana told reporters ahead of the EU foreign ministers' meeting.

For his part, Jack Straw, Britain's foreign secretary and president of the EU Council, said that his office would be sending a formal reply to Tehran.

"We have looked at the letter very carefully. The Iranians are under an obligation to respond positively to the resolution of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency and we look to them to do that."
Meanwhile, "there are informal discussions taking place with the Iranians," he added.
