The
outcome of the general elections in Iran – let me call them general elections –
seems to be quite favourable to the reformists. That´s certainly a very positive
development. They represent the segments of society that understand that Iran´s
economic development requires a less rigid approach to domestic politics and
also better relations with the international community.
It
is true that the country still has a long way to go in terms of taking full advantage
of its educated youth as well as of its resources. But today´s step is, by Iran´s
standards, a big leap in the right direction. Our role, in the European space,
is to encourage more commercial exchanges with Iran and to underline the
importance of enhancing our political dialogue with the authorities in Tehran.
