EU gives Iran time to clarify position

[CHIMO]

European Union foreign ministers have agreed to give Iran two more weeks to clarify its stance on halting sensitive nuclear work after Tehran ignored a UN deadline to suspend uranium enrichment.

Javier Solana, the EU foreign policy chief, will meet Iran's chief nuclear negotiator, Ali Larijani, next week to try to clear up ambiguities in Tehran's 21-page reply to a major power offer of co-operation if it stops work that could lead to building a bomb.

Dimitrij Rupel, the Slovenian foreign minister, said after the 25 ministers discussed the issue at a meeting in Finland: "We give Solana two weeks for his clarification talks."

Iran did not adhere to an August 31 deadline set by the United Nations security council for it to halt uranium enrichment and has given no sign it is prepared to meet the conditions set for opening negotiations on economic, technological and political co-operation.

About the word "NO" requires clarification?

I thought Iran was quite clear on their position.
