Iran, G5+1 to revise process of executing JCPOA
Iranian deputy foreign ministers Seyed Abbas Araqchi, Majid
Takht Ravanchi and Spokesman of the Atomic Energy Agency of Iran
(AEOI) will arrive in Vienna on Monday to attend a joint commission
meeting with the representatives of the Group 5+1 on JCPOA, Iran
reported.
An informed source at the Iranian embassy in Vienna said the first
meeting of the joint commission will start at Vienna's Coburg Hotel
at 11:00 a.m. local time and it will last three hours.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Sunday that
Iran will enforce the Additional Protocol voluntarily and
temporarily once the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA)
goes into effect.
“On 18 October 2015, the Director General of the International
Atomic Energy Agency was informed by the Islamic Republic of Iran
that, effective on Implementation Day of the Joint Comprehensive
Plan of Action (JCPOA), Iran will provisionally apply the
Additional Protocol to its Safeguards Agreement, pending its
ratification by the Majlis (Parliament), and will fully implement
the modified code 3.1 of the Subsidiary Arrangements to its
Safeguards Agreement,” the International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) announced in a statement on Sunday.
The notification by Iran came on the so-called “adoption day” for
the nuclear deal, which came 90 days after Tehran and the Group 5+1
(Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) reached a
conclusion over the text of the JCPOA, the comprehensive 159-page
deal on Tehran’s nuclear energy program.
The agreement would terminate all nuclear-related sanctions imposed
on Iran after coming into force.
The Iranian parliament on Tuesday voted to pass the details of a
motion to implement the nuclear agreement.
The bill allows the administration to voluntarily implement its
July 14 nuclear agreement with the world powers under certain
conditions.
The Additional Protocol allows reinforced and unannounced
inspections of a country’s nuclear facilities by the IAEA and
requires that information be provided on all activities regarding
the nuclear fuel cycle.
Iran, a signatory to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT),
voluntarily implemented the additional protocol between 2003 and
2005, but ceased to apply it after its nuclear case was sent to the
United Nations Security Council.
