"But the point is not what Clinton did. The point is the deterioration of international repute, national integrity."

BRUSSELS, May 2 1995
American plans for trade sanctions against Iran have
come in for fierce criticism from the European Union. French Foreign
Minister Alain Juppe, current chairman of the EU's decision-making
Council of Minsisters, has said that the EU "does not believe in
unilateral embargoes". EU officials in Brussels say the Union intends
to continue its "critical dialogue" with Tehran.

Of the 15 EU states, France, Germany and Britain have said clearly
that they will not follow the American initiative. German Economic
Minister Guenter Rexrodt said in a radio interview that Bonn did not
believe that a trade embargo is "the appropriate instrument for
influencing opinion in Iran".

"The right thing to do is to conduct a political dialogue with Iran,"
Rexrodt added. "Only political dialogue can bring Iran to behave
responsibly."

A British Foreign Office spokesman said London maintained a policy of
"critical dialogue" with Iran, but denied allegation of a rift
between the EU and the US on the issue.

But, EU officials say that President Clinton's decision to cut off
trade and investment ties with Iran has taken the Union by surprise.

According to French diplomats the EU was not consulted by the
Americans although Washington is clearly seeking European support in
its policy vis-a-vis Iran.
