A delegation of the European Union got impressed by the level of standard of certain sectors of the food industry in Iran
Members of a visiting delegation from the European Union said they were impressed by the level of standard of certain sectors of the food industry in Iran, hailing the country’s advances despite foreign sanctions.
A 70-strong delegation from the European Union, led by the EU’s Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development Phil Hogan, travel to Iran to visit a number of agricultural and industrial sites and hold talks on the bilateral relations. After a visit to a cooking oil factory, some members of the EU delegation admitted that some of the sectors in Iran’s industry meet very high standards. Stressing the need for Iranian producers to look for export opportunities, the delegation likened the sanctions imposed on Iran to Europe’s economic situation in the 1970s, which they said resulted in EU development. Iran and the European Union members have signed several agricultural agreements since the removal of nuclear-related sanctions on Iran under the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a nuclear deal between Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany). Iran announced also that it is going to host a EU Office as part of efforts to boost ties with the 28-nation bloc.
