23/06/2008 (Agence Europe) - On Monday 23 June, the EU decided to strengthen its restrictive measures against Iran. The new sanctions, adopted without discussion at the Agriculture-Fisheries Council, add new names (including the Melli Bank) to the list of persons and entities who will not be allowed visas and whose assets have been frozen. The sanctions will come into force on their publication in the Official Journal (this Tuesday). (A.B./transl.rt)
