Bekymringer over iranske rakettester
Norge har sluttet seg til en erklæring fra Rådet hvor EU uttrykker bekymring over at Iran testet kort- og mediumdistanse raketter 9. og 10. juli.
The European Union voices its concern at the fact that Iran tested short- and medium-range missiles on 9, and then again on 10 July.
Such missile tests can only heighten the concern of the international community at a time when Iran has still not implemented Security Council Resolutions 1696, 1737, 1747 and 1803, and, in particular, has not suspended its sensitive nuclear activities.
The EU would urge Iran finally to respond to the demands of the entire international community, as expressed in the Security Council Resolutions, so as to reach a negotiated solution to the nuclear issue.
