(IRNA) - The Council of European Union Foreign Ministers, over lunch Monday, discussed Iran and the current state of affairs, including discussions at the United Nations Security Council on a draft resolution, reports Trend.
The ministers, in a brief statement issued Monday night, said that "at its October meeting, the Council considered that Iran's continuation of enrichment-related activities had left the EU no choice but to support consultations on appropriate measures under Article 41 of the UN Charter as envisaged by UN Security Council Resolution 1696."
It noted that the "door to negotiations nevertheless remained open."
