Zitat:Europeans report "no progress" in nuclear talks with IranWovon träumen die auch ?!
TEHRAN, Aug 1 (AFP) - Talks which Britain, France and Germany held with Iran last week on its nuclear programme produced "no substantial progress" in efforts to restrict the Islamic republic's activities, European diplomats said Sunday.
Officials from the European Union's "big three" met with an Iranian delegation in Paris on Thursday and Friday, and stressed their wish to see a halt to Iran's work on the sensitive nuclear fuel cycle.
"Each side repeated their positions, and there were no changes," said a diplomat from one of the three European states.
"We would like Iran to stop nuclear fuel cycle work, but Iran sees its suspension as just a temporary measure. Therefore, no substantial progress was made," the source told AFP.
"This is disappointing, but having said that, nobody was honestly expecting a breakthrough," the diplomat added. "The meeting was more aimed at keeping up contacts."
Iran announced Saturday it had resumed making parts for centrifuges used for enriching uranium.Although Foreign Minister Kamal Kharazi asserted that Iran was committed to a suspension of enrichment itself, he did say "no country has the right to deprive us of nuclear technology".
