Brussels/Tehran: The remaining parties to a landmark nuclear deal signed in 2015 between Iran and six world powers will hold a Joint Commission meeting in Vienna on Wednesday, the European Union’s (EU) diplomatic service says.
“The Joint Commission will be chaired on behalf of the EU High Representative Josep Borrell Fontelles by EEAS (European External Action Service) Secretary General Helga Maria Schmid and will be attended by representatives of China, France, Germany, Russia, the UK and Iran,” Press TV quoted the EEAS as saying in a statement on Monday.
The meeting comes as the EU3, the three European signatories to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) deal, had last month accused Iran of violating the terms of the accord and announced that they planned to trigger a dispute settlement mechanism that could eventually restore UN Security Council sanctions against the Islamic Republic.
Under the mechanism outlined in the deal, the EU should also inform the other parties — Russia and China — as well as Iran itself. (IANS)
