Thank you. I think this is one of the most important issues of the year.
We are very active as the EU 3--France, the United Kingdom, and Germany. We started to work on this one and a half or two years ago, and we're very happy that the United States accepted that it's necessary to work together. The six are the Permanent Five plus Germany, and we could manage to get the Chinese and the Russians in the boat, which every day must be reassured. That's a challenge.
I think this would be a step to things that the U.S. declared they would be prepared to talk directly to the Iranian authorities about, and I think this will be a question of the verification of what they are doing. We will not accept if there's only a letter. We have written a lot of letters to Mr. Ahmadinejad, and last week he gave an interview to Der Spiegel, which is the leading German newsmagazine.
