Germany urges more concessions on Iranian nuclear row: report

Germany has called for more western concessions in the ongoing Iranian nuclear dispute, DPA cited on Saturday a report in the weekly news magazine Der Spiegel made available ahead of Sunday's publication.

"In the long run, the West cannot expect Tehran to mothball again its facilities like the research center in Natanz," the German paper wrote without naming any sources.

"A realistic offer has to be made (to Iran) which also takes into account the pride of the country," it was reportedly said in Berlin.

The report added western countries could be willing to recognize the current scientific level of Iran's uranium enrichment research and development program, if Tehran accepts international controls.

According to the magazine, a planned meeting of political representatives of the European Union, US, China and Russia in London on Friday has been postponed following a request by Germany which urged a better western negotiation offer for Iran in the medium-term.
