25/04/2005 (Agence Europe) - With high-ranking officials of the foreign ministries of the EU-3 (Germany, France and the UK) and Iran due to meet in London on 29 April to take stock of negotiations on the Iranian nuclear dossier, Iran has put a little more pressure on the Europeans by announcing on Sunday that it is to resume is uranium-enrichment activities “whatever the outcome of its negotiations with the three European powers”, said the spokesperson to the foreign ministry, Hamid Reza Asefi. “Enrichment is on our programme and is set to start at a given time. Whether the negotiations succeed or fail, we will resume it”, he said. Mr Asefi said that Iran would continue to suspend all its activities related to enrichment as long as negotiations continued, but that it did not accept that “negotiations could continue beyond what is reasonable”. Welcoming the “sincerity of the Europeans in their willingness to reach agreement with Teheran”, Mr Asefi renewed his appeal to the EU-3 to “respect the right of Iran, as a signatory of the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, to enrich uranium”.
