THE MINISTER - We of course talked about Iran. There's extremely clear agreement now, after all the attempts we've made, on proceeding in two directions: permanent dialogue with the Iranians, and sanctions. I believe we've done everything we possibly can with the 5+1. So we've got a common position on Iran, and the 5+1, as you know, is working - in New York as well as here in Europe - on sanctions we'll be presenting to the Security Council. On this point we're extremely satisfied with our Russian friends' position and we're working with our Chinese friends so this can be done. Final point, I remind you that we've already had three Security Council resolutions with sanctions; this isn't new. So we haven't given up hope of getting a fourth, even firmer one.
