Josep Borrell Fontelles @JosepBorrellF@respublicae.eu

What can be negotiated has been negotiated, and it’s now in a final text.

However, behind every technical issue and every paragraph lies a political decision that needs to be taken in the capitals.

If these answers are positive, then we can sign this deal.

Negotiators used these days of discussions and proximity talks between the US and Iran to fine tune and address - with technical adjustments - a handful of issues remaining in the text that I have put on the table last July 21, as coordinator of the #JCPOA nuclear deal.

Visited Phnom Pehn’s Tuol Sleng, the genocide museum. It is difficult to imagine how humankind can perpetrate such atrocities.

We need to preserve the memory of horror so that it does not repeat itself ever again.

The EU condemns Russia’s military activities around #Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. This is a serious and irresponsible breach of nuclear safety rules and another example of Russia’s disregard for international norms. @iaeaorg must gain access.

Without sanctions, Russia would “have its cake and eat it”. With sanctions, it will be forced to “choose between butter and guns” locking Putin in a vice that is gradually tightening. The price of Russia’s break with the international order will be very high.

Our sanctions have already major effects on Russia in strategic sectors: defence, oil and car industry, airlines. Even if sanctions do not change the Russian trajectory in the short-term, they deprive Russia from many resources to wage its war.
