Head of the Iranian negotiating team, Sirous Nasseri, also told IRNA that the new round of talks, which began on Tuesday, will continue till Thursday. Nasseri refused to disclose further details about the ongoing talks. The Iranian and European sides are reviewing issues of mutual interest within the framework of the three economic-commercial, political-security and technical-nuclear working committees. The first round of talks was held by Iran and the EU troika (Britain, Germany and France) in Brussels, Belgium, while the other three have been held in Geneva, Switzerland. Unofficial reports said ongoing talks were moving at a slow pace and it was unlikely that the two would reach any tangible agreement at this stage. Meanwhile, the European Union Wednesday said it believes the process of negotiations with the Islamic Republic could lead to an enduring and long-term EU-Iran relationship. European Commissioner for Development and Humanitarian Aid Louis Michel told the European Parliament that the EU is currently reengaging Iran on the basis of the "Paris agreement" reached between Iran and France, Germany and the United Kingdom, with the support of EU High Representative Javier Solana. "This agreement and the subsequent verification of the implementation of Iran's voluntary decision to suspend all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities have led the EU to restart its multi-track, gradual engagement policy with Iran," Michel told the EP during a debate on the nuclear program of Iran and North Korea. He was speaking on behalf of Commissioner for external relations, Benita Ferrero-Waldner who is currently on a tour of Sri Lanka and Indonesia. Michel said the EU has resumed negotiations on an agreement encompassing crucial political issues such as promotion of human rights, the fight against terrorism, Middle East peace process, weapons of mass destruction, as well as trade and cooperation. "Through it, we believe that we can make an important contribution to our collective effort, which is to open the way for a durable and cooperative long-term relationship between the European Union and Iran. We are convinced that such an agreement, as well as the perspective of WTO accession, could facilitate the necessary economic and social reforms inside Iran, thus facilitating the country's full reintegration within the international community," he said. The EP will vote on a resolution on the nuclear programs of Iran and North Korea on Thursday. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------ Yahoo!
