EU softens on Iranian nuclear program
Iran-European Union, Politics, 9/14/2006

The European Union is willing to drop its demand that Iran stop enriching uranium as a condition for resuming nuclear talks, the Financial Times said yesterday.

The news follows a series of weekend meeting by EU officials but comes with the condition Tehran allow inspectors of the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to conduct spot-checks, the newspaper said.

"Tomorrow, the issue of nuclear inspections will be the basis of a meeting between EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana and Ali Larijani, Iran's senior nuclear security official." Iran said that Iranian nuclear program is in line with Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and it has a sovereign right to enrich uranium for the production of electricity.
