European Union negotiators Britain, France and Germany — the EU-3 — are drawing up a package of incentives to be discussed with Russia, China and the United States, as well as sanctions that could follow if a deal is not reached.
The package will be finished “over the next 10 days, with the goal of securing P5 plus 1 (permanent five members plus Germany) endorsement for the EU-3 to then present the combined package to Iran,” a Western diplomat said in explaining the May 19 meeting.
