Top foreign policy decision-makers of Iran and EU sat together on the sidelines of the Oslo Forum 2016 to clear away obstacles hindering full implementation of the nuclear deal.

Participating in the meeting were Iranian Foreign Affairs Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and European Union Foreign Policy Chief Federica Mogherini with other senior diplomats.
One key concern of Iran after the implementation of the nuclear deal has been reluctance shown by international banks, including European ones, to normalize ties with Iranian partners, taking fright at possible fines by the U.S.

“In the first four months this year trade between the European Union and Iran increased by 22 percent,” Mogherini told a news conference on Tuesday, adding, “We are very actively engaging with the business community and the banks in Europe and elsewhere to encourage engaging in Iran.”
The unsatisfied Tehran has aired grievances, urging the U.S. to take measures to soothe Europeans’ banking fears.

During his May visit with New Zealand’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Murray McCully in Tehran, Zarif lamented that “We have not fully achieved what we must have, and more measures need to be carried out by the U.S.”
The banking challenge will be most likely one major theme of the meeting between Zarif and his American counterpart John Kerry slated for Wednesday.
Under the terms of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, EU terminated limitations on transfers of funds between EU persons and entities, including financial institutions, and Iranian persons and entities, including financial institutions.
Also, EU agreed to allow banking activities, including the establishment of new correspondent banking relationships and the opening of new branches and subsidiaries of Iranian banks in the territories of EU Member States.
Iran expects to reap economic gains from the deal with West and strong banking ties with international partners is key to fulfilling the goal.
Iran and the 5+1 group of countries, including five permanent members of the UN Security Council members plus Germany, forged a deal in July 2015 on Tehran’s nuclear program, resulting in removal of sanctions against Iran in exchange for constraints on the country’s nuclear activities.

 

Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Iran expects European Union to take necessary steps to facilitate banking interactions with Tehran.


According to the report by Foreign Ministry Media Department on Saturday, Zarif made the remarks in a meeting with visiting Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas Linkevicius.
 Zarif said that the ties have upward trend and through consultations grounds can be prepared for expansion of bilateral political and parliamentary relations.
Enumerating Iran's economic and trade capacities, Zarif said that Iranian companies are ready for cooperation with Lithuanian public and private sectors in the fields of technology, energy, LNG, oil, agriculture, higher education, technical and engineering services .
In the meeting the two sides discussed ways to expand bilateral cooperation as well as regional issues.
Concerning Syria's developments, Zarif said that respecting the Syrian people's will is the only solution to the crisis and support for terrorist groups will only undermine ceasefire and make political process more complicated.
Linkevicius, for his part, evaluated Tehran-Vilnius relations as positive and added that Lithuania is interested in expanding economic and trade ties with Iran. He added that Lithuanian companies are ready to deepen their cooperation with Iranian counterparts in post JCPOA era.
He expressed satisfaction with consultations between Iran and Lithuanian officials and added that the Islamic Republic plays an influential role in the region and Lithuania desires to strengthen relations with Iran in political, cultural and parliamentary fields.
At the end of the meeting, the two foreign ministers signed a memorandum of understanding for political consultations between the two countries.
