Schmid pointed out that there are many small and mid-size companies in Germany willing to work with Iranian counterparts.

He said there are powerful Iranian companies in the private sector and the government is taking measures to improve the private sector but banking obstacles hindering Iran-Germany cooperation must be lifted as an initial step.
