Senior MP: Iran's N. Deal Cooperation with Europe Should Include Oil Sales, Banking Transactions
A senior Iranian legislator underlined the necessity for the European states to help Iran stand against the US sanctions by buying its crude and facilitate banking transactions, as part of their obligations under the nuclear deal.
"Continued cooperation with Europe on the nuclear deal should not be summarized within the framework of the INSTEX (the EU-proposed Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges) that covers unsanctioned goods and just within the limits of trade with Europe," Reformist MP Mostafa Kavakebian wrote in a memo on Saturday.
He underlined the need for such cooperation to include Iran's oil sale and different types of banking transactions.
His remarks came after a meeting of the Joint Commission on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) ended in Vienna following three and a half hours of talks by the remaining signatories to the deal (the EU3 and Russia and China) on Friday.
It was the 12th meeting of the Joint Commission on JCPOA which began at 12:00 local time in Vienna.
Meantime, seven European countries--Austria, Belgium, Finland, the Netherlands, Slovenia, Spain and Sweden--in a joint statement expressed their support for the efforts to implement the INSTEX.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araqchi described the nuclear deal joint commission meeting with the Europeans as "a step forward", but meantime, reminded that it did not meet Iran's expectations.
“It was a step forward, but it is still not enough and not meeting Iran’s expectations,” said Araqchi, who headed the Iranian delegation at the JCPOA joint commission meeting in Vienna on Friday afternoon.
“I will report back to Tehran and the final decision will be by Tehran to take,” he added.
