Slow Progress in
Implementation of Geneva Agreement – Different “Interpretation”
Iranian Foreign
Minister Javad Zarif and the EU's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton decided
today to postpone the Geneva agreement implementation talks until after
Christmas holidays.
“During a telephone conversation (between Zarif and Ashton), it was agreed to continue the negotiations, but with the Christmas holidays in sight it was decided to interrupt and resume (the talks) a week after the holidays," said Abbas Araqchi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister and a member of nuclear negotiating team.

The implementation talks between Iran and P5+1 ended abruptly when the Iranian delegation walked out in protest to an American decision to add 19 new Iranian entities to the existing sanctions still in effect. The talk’s resumption and its progress generally have been slow because of what Araqchi described as different “interpretations” of points of the agreement between Iran and world powers that was signed in Geneva on 24 November.
“The talks on implementing the accord are not easy. They are progressing, but slowly,” Zarif told a joint news conference on Sunday with visiting Italian Foreign Minister Emma Bonino.

"I hope
all sides will avoid delving into issues that could become troublesome and
complicate the process," Zarif added without elaborating. (Reuters, 22 December)
