Iran should co-operate fully with the IAEA to restore the confidence of the international community that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only. Iran should be aware of the international community's sensitivities with regard to its intentions.
Complete suspension of Iran's enrichment activities is needed. These enrichment activities must be stopped. If that condition is met, the EU stands ready to engage in further contacts with the Iranian government.
Furthermore, the EU is convinced that the human rights situation in Iran has deteriorated. It has decided to co-sponsor a Canadian resolution on human rights in the UN.
