The European Union's stance on the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is closer to the positions of Russia and China on the issue than the one of the Untied States, the EU ambassador to Russia Markus Ederer said.
The EU regrets that the position of the US on the issue is different from the one of Brussels, which is "closer" to the positions of Beijing and Moscow, the official said in an interview with the Kommersant newspaper.
He stressed that the EU considered that in the nuclear-related issues the JCPOA was the best possible agreement and there were no reasons to cast doubt on Iran's compliance with the nuclear deal.
According to the diplomat, the EU had also voiced concerns over several other Iran's activities, such as its policy in the region or the ballistic missile program, however these issues should be considered independently of the JCPOA.
