It's the third time this year that my colleagues and I have met on the question of Iran. We met in London at the end of January, and in Berlin at the end of March. We are meeting again in New York to continue our consultation.

We took stock of the situation. Mr ElBaradei submitted his report to the Security Council ten days ago. Iran has not responded to the international community's request. On the contrary, she has accelerated her enrichment programme. So we all agree that this attitude creates a worrying situation for the whole international community.

This evening, we all agreed that what we want is the suspension of all Iran's sensitive nuclear activities. The discussion was on the way to include this requirement in the resolution.

We also discussed how to present, on the one hand, a set of incentives and, on the other, deterrent measures, depending on the Iranian response.

France wishes Iran to be faced with a choice. Iran has to face up to her responsibilities.

Either Iran is responsive and will then have the benefits of this, with an ambitious package, ambitious proposals, particularly in the fields of civil nuclear energy, trade, technology and why not security? Or she is unresponsive and then deterrent measures will be proposed.

We haven't yet gone into the details of the text, but have tasked our political directors and ambassadors to put it all together.
