Annex V
6 JUNE 2006 E3+3 PROPOSAL
ELEMENTS OF
A LONG
TERM AGREEMENT
Our goal is to develop relations and cooperation
with Iran based on mutual respect and the establishment of international
confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's nuclear
programme. We propose a fresh start in negotiations of a comprehensive
agreement with Iran. Such an agreement would be deposited with
the IAEA and endorsed in a Security Council resolution.
To create the right conditions for negotiations:
We will:
— reaffirm Iran's right to develop
nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in conformity with its NPT
obligations, and in this context reaffirm their support for the
development by Iran of a civil nuclear energy programme;
— commit to actively support the building
of new light water reactors in Iran through international joint
projects, in accordance with the IAEA Statute and the NPT; and
— agree to suspend discussion of Iran's
nuclear programme at the Security Council on resumption of negotiations.
Iran will:
— commit to addressing all the outstanding
concerns of the IAEA through full cooperation with the IAEA;
— suspend all enrichment-related and
reprocessing activities to be verified by the IAEA, as requested
by the IAEA Board of Governors and the UN Security Council, and
commit to continue this during these negotiations; and
— resume implementation of the Additional
Protocol.
AREAS OF
FUTURE COOPERATION
TO BE
COVERED IN
NEGOTIATIONS ON
A LONG
TERM AGREEMENT
NUCLEAR
We will take the following steps:
Iran's Rights to Nuclear Energy
— reaffirm Iran's inalienable right
to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination
and in conformity with Articles I and II of the NPT, and co-operate
with Iran in the development by Iran of a civil nuclear power
programme; and
— negotiate and implement a Euratom/Iran
nuclear cooperation agreement.
Light Water Reactors
— actively support the building of
new light water power reactors in Iran through international joint
projects, in accordance with the IAEA Statute and the NPT, using
state-of-the art technology, including by authorising the transfer
of necessary goods and the provision of advanced technology to
make its power reactors safe against earthquakes; and
— provide co-operation with the management
of spent nuclear fuel and radioactive waste through appropriate
arrangements.
Research & Development in Nuclear Energy
— provide a substantive package of
research and development co-operation, including possible provision
of light water research reactors, notably in the fields of radioisotope
production, basic research and nuclear applications in medicine
and agriculture.
Fuel Guarantees
— give legally binding, multi-layered
fuel assurances to Iran, based on:
— participation as a partner in an
international facility in Russia to provide enrichment services
for a reliable supply of fuel to Iran's nuclear reactors. Subject
to negotiations, such a facility could enrich all the UF6 produced
in Iran;
— establishment on commercial terms
of a buffer stock to hold a reserve of up to five years' supply
of nuclear fuel dedicated to Iran, with participation and under
supervision of the IAEA; and
— development of a standing multilateral
mechanism for reliable access to nuclear fuel with the IAEA based
on ideas to be considered at the next Board of Governors.
Review of Moratorium
The long-term agreement would, with regard to
common efforts to build international confidence, include a clause
for review of the agreement in all its aspects, to follow:
— confirmation by the IAEA that all
outstanding issues and concerns reported by the IAEA, including
those activities which could have a military nuclear dimension,
have been resolved; and
— confirmation that there are no undeclared
nuclear activities or materials in Iran and that international
confidence in the exclusively peaceful nature of Iran's civil
nuclear programme has been restored.
POLITICAL AND
ECONOMIC
Regional Security Co-operation
Support for a new conference to promote dialogue
and cooperation on regional security issues.
International Trade & Investment
Improving Iran's access to the international
economy, markets and capital, through practical support for full
integration into international structures, including the WTO,
and to create the framework for increased direct investment in
Iran and trade with Iran (including a Trade and Economic Cooperation
Agreement with EU). Steps would be taken to improve access to
key goods and technology.
Civil Aviation
Civil aviation cooperation, including the possible
removal of restrictions on US and European manufacturers, from
exporting civil aircraft to Iran, thereby widening the prospect
of Iran renewing its fleet of civil airliners.
Energy Partnership
Establishment of a long-term energy partnership
between Iran and the EU and other willing partners, with concrete
and practical applications.
Telecommunications Infrastructure
Support for the modernisation of Iran's telecommunication
infrastructure and advanced internet provision, including by possible
removal of relevant US and other export restrictions.
High Technology Co-operation
Co-operation in fields of high technology and
other areas to be agreed.
Agriculture
Support for agricultural development in Iran,
including possible access to US and European agricultural products,
technology and farm equipment.
