The Foreign Secretary, William Hague welcomed the adoption today of an EU Regulation that implements tough, new sanctions against Iran. Speaking after attending the General Affairs Council in Luxembourg, the Foreign Secretary said: "We've adopted the implementing regulations for the Iran sanctions that we agreed at the end of July. That is very important in itself. That is the European Union using its collective weight in the world, absolutely in the right way, working with the United States and sending a clear message to Iran that it is important to negotiate on its nuclear programme and that the pressure from Europe will intensify in the absence of those negotiations."
