lpv:translated text	". Representatives of the Commission and the Council, ladies and gentlemen, a week ago the draft European Parliament report on weapons of mass destruction was discussed at the Committee on Foreign Affairs. We should remember that it was in fact Iran’s nuclear programme that provoked the most animated debates. The Members’ opinions now also display both a demand for more constructive action in relation to Iran and a wish not to strain relations with that country. Our resolution is in the same vein as announcements during recent days from the Council and the Atomic Energy Agency. These have emphasised political dialogue as the most appropriate instrument for convincing Iran. This confirms that, in truth, the choice of resources available for influencing Iran is extremely limited. We should not forget, however, that this is already the third European Parliament resolution on Iran this year. We should also bear in mind the resolutions by other international organisations. What sort of response have these received? Iran’s reply has been unmistakable — the violation of the Paris agreement and other agreements, the concealment of violations and the resumption of the generation of energy for nuclear weapons. Nor is the Atomic Energy Agency wrong in stating in its resolution of 24 September that Iran’s activities were giving rise to a lack of confidence and that further action would fall within the competence of the UN Security Council. Given this, we have to understand that political dialogue as a preventive tool to deal with Iran’s defiant and provocative actions is approaching its critical limit. This, however, creates the sense that both in today’s resolution and in the Council’s announcement of 3 October the determination to take this issue forward to the UN Security Council is lacking. Perhaps this is because the Council and we at the European Parliament are actually not convinced about the UN Security Council’s will to take decisions in connection with Iran’s nuclear programme. I hope that I am wrong, but it seems that the recent decisions by the international community still allow Iran’s ruling circles to act as they see fit."@en1
