Iran today said a proposed meeting with European negotiators from December 6 should include guarantees that its nuclear fuel cycle wil not be moved out of the country, seemingly rejecting a compromise whereby the process would be moved to Russia as a guarantee against production of weapons grade uranium. Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said talks with Europe should be logical, in the framework of international regulations and without any discrimination against Iran. ‘‘The agenda of the negotiations should be clear. It should contain a guarantee for realising the nuclear fuel cycle inside Iran,’’ Asefi said. He said Iran had not received an official proposal for European negotiations, nor had it heard from Russia about the enrichment plan. ‘‘If Europe sets the date for negotiations with the above specifications then it will begin,’’ Asefi said.
