Tehran, YJC. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister says the EU action in adding more Iranian companies to its list of sanctions goes contrary to the cooperative morale.
Deputy
Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi addressing reports that the EU has added 17
Iranian companies to its list of companies under sanctions said "In case the
news is true, keeping old sanctions is not against the recent agreement, but against
the cooperation morale and goodwill in the current situations.”
He added
"The recent agreement does not include many of the old sanctions and of course
the agreement is not yet operational.”
The
Council of the European Union has announced that it has recently added 17 more Iranian
companies to the list of Iranian companies under sanctions.
It has
said that according to a decision made on March 23, 2012, it will continue its
limitations on some Iranian companies.
Iran’s nuclear power plant construction
management company and 16 sailing companies are the ones newly added by the
Council of the European Union to the list of Iranian companies under sanctions.
