8:22 pm
hello and welcome to the program i'm hala maher here jeanne european leaders are scrambling to save the iran nuclear deal from collapse after years of on off to pull mysie the agreements known as the g.c. was finally signed with world powers 4 years ago but the united states with drew last year one year on and sereny in leaders are threatening to produce more enrich uranium which could be used to make nuclear weapons unless other parties to the deal protects its economy from u.s. sanctions iran has given the european union china and russia 60 days to comply and ultimatum already rejects it spoil sport they say they remain committed to keeping the nuclear deal alive and they're urging iran not to abandon its. yes france has stayed in it and will stay in it and i deeply wish to iran will too it is up to us to work to convince everyone and iran to stay in it we remain fully

committed to the full implementation of the disappear way of the nuclear deal it's a matter of security for us and for the entire world the european union investment in nonproliferation continues to be a top priority for us. their own foreign minister says europe's response is not strong enough mohamed judd serif tweets it's the e.u. statement today is why the j c p o a is where it is the u.s. has believed europe ants the rest of the world's for a year and a you can only express regrets instead of demanding that iran unilaterally abides by a multilateral accords the e.u. should uphold obligations including the normalization of economic ties well europe had speed working on a system called instax to allow trade with iran and avoids u.s. sanctions so how does it work well it's an alternative payment channel being set up
8:24 pm
by france germany and the u.k. instax allows iranian companies to sell to european customers without having to rely on international banks which face penalties on the u.s. sanctions instax will then process the payments due to iran and vice versa the system is used to initially cover norms sanctions items such as food and medical supplies but leaders hope to eventually expand it to include iran's most important export oil. well let's bring in today's guest joining us from room by skype is a not to the touchy director of the italian institutes of international affairs and a special advisor to e.u. foreign policy chief federica mo greeny from austria is the hard see an economist at the vienna institute for international economic studies and also by skype from a center yes or met in france is false where nicole look
8:25 pm
a former french ambassador to iran thank you all for joining is if i could start with natalie to see we're hearing over the past couple of days about the difficulty the g c p is 8 do you think this agreement can be saved. yes i absolutely do think it's still can be saved letters i think i think it's important to highlight what the difficulties are and the difficulties are due to the fact that one of the key parties to the jason here way the united states decided to withdraw from the simply meant that exactly one year ago now obviously jessica rests on a let's call it social contract which on one hand saw the revocation of all nuclear related sanctions on the one hand in return for the containment of
8:26 pm
iran's nuclear program now obviously where one side of the bargain goes missing clearly the entire architecture of the deal starts traveling now her opinions have been trying over the course of the last year is essentially to do what it takes to try and compensate for this fundamental flaw in the implementation of the chase a cure may now i think you know before when he even goes into sort of criticizing we're not criticizing what europeans have done so far i think it's important to highlight the fact that there has been a genuine commitment of europeans to try and do what it takes to save the jason get away and at the very difficulty in doing so is that clearly we are faced with a situation in which the application of u.s. extraterritorial sanctions makes it extremely difficult not only by the way for europeans but also for the russians and the chinese that are also signatories to
8:27 pm
the g.'s secure way to actually live up to the effective. revocation and implementation therefore of sanctions visibly iran now that's the question is this going to be is it still possible to same. deal i personally think that it is i think that although it is technically extremely complicated to actually get the insteps mechanism to actually operate not only to the pulley operational in its current form that essentially concerns humanitarian goods but most significantly it's actually be expanded to meet use of other countries such as for example russia and china and eventually to be expanded to be complemented by another financial mechanism to allow trade in what is the most significant good impression which is see oil so there are clear technical
8:28 pm
difficulties involved there are clear political difficulties and not because this is inevitably going to cause friction between europe and the united states but i actually do think and i am feeling the same about this notwithstanding reining in declarations as to their adventure or. sort of suspension of that side of the bargain that actually aren't still does have a lot to gain from the meaning of the j.c.t. lake and what the united states wants in iran to do is precisely to by the j.c. ok i'll pick you up on some of these points in just a 2nd so let's turn that's a false one equal do you believe that this deal can be saved and your reaction so what we've been hearing from that's a touchy and you want to believe though that the mood. but both i'm a little known perino for most of the. there were all of the profits
8:29 pm
but the. whole. 3rd that it is working or the problem with the bill in truth removing do you think you are in fact. what for what for them to produce a little more you real enriched uranium that. the reunions are not going to produce a bomb on and on to the one thing the risk to produce them on they don't need enrich uranium for the on only reactor nuclear reactor function functioning of the present moment with the musha react up because the russians are providing farther farther the feud with a further reach your resume so they're hung in fact no immediate interest in up in leaving the disappear way because leaving the disappear will then we will lose
8:30 pm
this kind of high moral ground on which there are and. its rulers and then we learned tiger neither the lure of pairs of russians or the chinese saw we see of course it's a really difficult moment difficult moment especially for rouhani you know whose quarter between the united states of course and then it's on a position that either the radical conservative who has always been against the c.p.u. a hunt to find him is a line a middle ground. or. he has given i wouldn't call it a night he made because frankly it was a very gentle a very soft of the minister of. but we have 2 months and then after that 2 months and then through 2 months on rouhani run he's going to say to
8:31 pm
face time and on the moment which you say the very long and a very long and a very long time saw him yesterday and i had that i'm sorry to interrupt but openly do you think perhaps that this this declaration from iran was perhaps both. and i say frustration because they would argue they're not seeing the benefits of being in the steel they aren't seeing these benefits the economic benefits have not started to fall so if they have nothing to free this why not develop a bomb and get invited to a summit by president donald trump no it's truly true that are they getting no better from her and of course who really disappointed her career very difficult situation no repeat of the reader. or core which is the suffering. created by her economic recession but.
8:32 pm
if not on the right or no reconnoiter western no moral ground at the question of general political general proposition i hope i hope that iran. granted reagan or or the proven cause of real will fall to remaining to disappear also hold on to the european. court of the loan be. maybe read in the present moment not total let's let's see if we can set brakes and some of these solutions medical and see if i could turn to unite this instead. vehicle this mechanism that the europeans have been trying to develop as a way to circumvent these sanctions from the us do you think this is a possible solution to the situation we're in. sure well
8:33 pm
actually i believe and i share similar opinion as other honorable guests and i believe that also that the measures that iran implemented 2 days ago and the 60 days is also very cautious and i believe that in stakes could be very good for iran because there's several other things that in stix could do because it's a barter trading system so it can not only help europeans european firms to do business with iran but it could also help 3rd countries to do business with iran and it can fill in the gap and it can act as an accounting we can ism so it's like iran can expect can import some products from european countries or from other countries and then it can really explored as a central hall up to other central asian countries of gunnison to many other countries so these could produce some revenue for iran if in sticks become was a parade in fact iran has been has been placed on the ancient silk road so it can.
