***BEGIN***
Following the London meeting, UK Foreign Minister Jack Straw issued a
statement:
"Ministers
[from the 'Big Five', Germany, and EU; never mind the reference in the
URL to E3/EU, which would exclude US, China, and Russia - maybe the IAEA
bureaucrats and spooks under ultra-light cover are too busy counting the
money in their Swiss bank accounts to be able to phrase a URL properly -
banana note]
underlined their commitment to the NPT and their determination to
prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons; shared serious concerns
about Iran´s nuclear program, and agreed that an extensive period of
confidence-building was required from Iran; called on Iran to restore in
full the suspension of enrichment-related activity, including R&D, under
the supervision of the IAEA; agreed that this week´s Extraordinary IAEA
Board meeting should report to the Security Council its decision on the
steps required from Iran, and should also report to the Security Council
all IAEA reports and resolutions, as adopted, relating to this issue;
agreed that the Security Council should await the Director General´s
report to the March meeting of the IAEA Board, which would include a
report on the implementation of the February Board´s Resolution, and any
Resolution from the March meeting, before deciding to take action to
reinforce the authority of the IAEA process; confirmed their resolve to
continue to work for a diplomatic solution to the Iran problem."
The 35-member IAEA Board of Governors meets in special session on 2
February in Vienna on the implementation of nuclear safeguards in Iran.
