high representative for foreign affairs federica mockery she sees as close as the e.u. has to a foreign minister herself she was on stage in rome speaking to journalists there and she said that it's well the e.u. reserved its right to act in its own security interest she said still fully supported the a rainy and deal and i also wanted to make that clear to the people of iran that nobody should be allowed to try and dismantle this deal. the european union will remain committed to continue it all and effective implementation of the nuclear deal. we fully trust the work the competence and yet tanami of the international atomic energy agency that has published ten reports certifying that iran has fully complied with its commitments. both was a short statement from ms mark or any but it certainly pulled no punches whatsoever the gist of it was that as long as a run continues to comply with the deal as was then the e.u. will stick to their terms of that deal now we have to look at what donald trump said in the white house earlier on he said that anybody who in his words help

the foreign policy key federica more green in the whole list of things she has in mind including maintain and deepen economic relations continue selling petroleum products and one idea of the europeans is that the european investment bank which has a lot of money at its hands could provide credits to small and medium sized enterprises to continue trading with iran as something the e.u. today said they can't promise that they can't make any guarantees but something they intend to reach within during talks within the next couple of weeks let's take a listen to a little bit more from federica margarita what she had to say today after meeting with the iranian foreign minister. we together regretted the withdrawal of the united states from the deal and we difficult eyes that the lifting of thing at a later sanctions and that another station of trade and economic relations with iran constitute essential parts of the agreement and we stressed the commitments we all share to ensure that this would continue to be there live it and we agreed to this and to deepen our dialogue at all levels ok you k

then reports certify that iran has fully complied with its commitments or was hard to tell whether federica mockery was speaking with confidence or just blind optimism she said that the e.u. would try and continue with the deal as it had been agreed but the start is despite the united states breaking the terms of the deal by pulling out will have to see how long do you suppose e.u. nations can try and stick to this task and what the reaction will be from washington should they do that ok thanks for the update that was peter oliver there for us in berkeley in so should europe be nothing more than a vassal to america will those in fact were the words of the french economy minister who searched the block to continue trading with iran despite the us sanctions. who do the europe needs to create new systems that will defend its interests what do we want to be bustles now what a baby blindly to what americans tell them or do we want us europeans to say that we have economic interests and we want to have economic relations with iran inside the framework of a strategic deal with iran which includes

a stronger influences from france and germany to really find this to the table and start forcing federica model indeed to look at the plan b. option and there's a simple option which can be. so oversold much of it which we haven't really looked at which is the iran desk where his money just means money for restructuring for young people was an important book for education for training for preparing for the new new waves of the economy and the european could easily provide the nuclear needed it whatever you want to criticize it for the one thing it's good for you starting checks and giving money to countries all over the world to help them within the structure of the state and the eve could do that very easily it could go to the reins and say look could we cut a deal of the political side in the maybe the ballistics so it could be reduced sign a bit could we work on that some sick people in return we could give you say a few hundred min or even a billion euros of that stuff to give you help to go unemployment problem still the iranians would jump at the i'm sure they would both times that

well that's the way it looks coming out of europe at the minute federica marker in the they're saying that the e.u. remains committed to the deal bit struck with iran we've also had a little bit from the iranian side as well saying they're willing to talk with the e.u. but would be looking to well back to the united states a little bit to see what the reaction will be from washington should the e.u. do what it says it will do would continue working with tehran could we see potential sanctions from the united states placed on e.u. members well that really would be a bit of a bit of an ask it would be quite the nuclear option if you pardon the pun when it came to sanctions and certainly would be something that all sides would be looking to avoid but the e.u. on the evening that donald trump has decided this they've bought at that ball back across the atlantic and it's back in the court of the united states to see what they'll do should the e.u. continue with business as normal with iran. it's all over that many thanks let's go back to kelly will produce in new york a pita to step on it
