The amount of bank transactions between Iran and the EU has reached 5.5 billion euros since President Hassan Rouhani took office in mid-2013, Omid Baraghi, head of Iran-Germany Chamber of Commerce, said Sept. 28.

He said Iranian banks have not been able to establish transactions with German banks, despite that 9 months pass from elimination of sanctions on Iran.
