EU Ambassador Robert Kopecky and Acting British High Commissioner Ron Rimmer have debriefed Minister of Foreign Minister Carl Greenidge on the outcome of the E3/EU+3 negotiations with Iran and the resulting Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
According to a press release from the EU, Kopecky and Rimmer met Greenidge on Friday last at Takuba Lodge.
The release said that following several months of intensive work, EU High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy Federica Mogherini and Foreign Minister of Islamic Republic of Iran Javad Zarif together with their counterparts of the People’s Republic of China, France, Germany, the Russian Federation, the United Kingdom and the United States of America agreed to the text of the JCPOA on July 14.
This agreement successfully resolves a dispute that has lasted more than 10 years, and ensures that Iran’s nuclear programme will be exclusively peaceful. Iran reaffirmed that under no circumstances will it ever seek, develop or acquire any nuclear weapons. The agreement enables the lifting of all nuclear-related EU, UN and US sanctions on Iran over a phased period, the release said.
