EUROPEAN HEADLINES
BBC Europe – EU looks to avoid impact of US sanctions over Iran. The EU is to begin reviving legislation that will allow European companies to continue doing business with Iran, despite US sanctions. The so-called “blocking statute” was introduced in 1996 to circumvent US sanctions on Cuba but was never used. On Friday, the EU will begin redrafting and preparing the legislation so it applies to the latest Iran sanctions.
