Javier Solana Position Quotations

Our position is that the (Iran) dossier should be referred to the council.

I think in a few days we will be in a position to convey again the situation to the different governments and probably take a decision soon. There is a lot of work to be done.

I think the position now is what we have said, ...which is to have a decision to call for an extraordinary meeting in Vienna of the (IAEA) agency and then to refer the dossier to the Security Council.

The substantive position (of Iran) has not changed.

It would be very difficult for the help and the money that goes to the Palestinian Authority to continue to flow. The taxpayers in the European Union, members of the Parliament of the European Union, will not be in a position to sustain that type of political activity.

The position of Russia is the following: Why don't we have an extraordinary meeting (at the UN), debate the situation then go back to Vienna, continue discussions there and wait for the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) board meetings in March.

It's good to talk, but their position has to change ... they know how to change, they know what they have to change.

They have repeated their arguments but the substantive position has not changed.
