European Union Confirms New Iran Nuclear Talks On December 17

Brussels: The European Union confirmed Friday that talks between Iran and world powers on Tehran's nuclear programme will resume on December 17 in Geneva.

The talks, first announced in a report from Iran on Thursday, will be at the level of senior officials rather than ministers, the EU's diplomatic service said.

"The political directors of the (world powers) and Iran will meet again on 17 December 2014 in Geneva for a one-day meeting to continue diplomatic efforts towards reaching a long-term, comprehensive solution," it said in a statement.

A final agreement is aimed at ensuring Tehran will never develop nuclear weapons under the guise of its civilian activities, and would lift international sanctions that have crippled Iran's economy.

Iran denies that it is seeking the bomb and insists its nuclear activities are for solely peaceful purposes.

If approved by the EU Parliament, the Philippines will be the only GSP+ beneficiary in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Currently, there are 13 countries granted by EU with GSP+ privileges.

A high-level Philippine delegation presented the countrys case to the INTA and the GSP Monitoring Group in a joint committee hearing at the EU Parliament in Strasbourg, France.
