Engaging with Difficult Partners: The EU’s Iran Approach

Brussels Briefing with Marietje Schaake, Bernd Erbel, and Cornelius Adebahr

DGAP | Iran, International Policy/Relations

After years of sanctions and deadlocked talks, the January 2014 launch of an interim nuclear agreement between Iran and the E3/EU+3 promises to improve relations. But a deal that would satisfy the international community’s concerns over Iran’s nuclear program and at the same time allow the country to shed its pariah status is by no means guaranteed. At the DGAP, Marietje Schaake, Bernd Erbel, and Cornelius Adebahr discussed the EU’s Iran approach and the prospect of reaching long-term agreement.

Berlin, Brussels, and Moscow should be talking to each other, not about each other

by Christian Wipperfürth | Ukraine, Conflicts and Strategies

Domestic political stalemate is plunging Ukraine into further violence and threatens to bring about severe economic crisis and a terrible ordeal. The country is in no position to decide whether to choose the West or the East, since half of the population decidedly rejects the other option. The West and Russia need to overcome their conventional, party mentalities and work together with the Ukrainian players toward de-escalation. Only then can a viable perspective for the country be possible.

Who Owns the EU Reform Debate?
Who Owns the EU Reform Debate?

Countries outside of the euro zone are naturally asking themselves what the imminent deepening of this zone will mean for European Union membership in the future. At the same time, the question overarches the debate about EU reform. In these overlapping discussions, not every suggestion that comes unbidden is necessarily counterproductive. Quite the contrary.

The geopolitical environment of the Southern Gas Corridor

by Stefan Meister | Caucasian States of the former Soviet Union, Resources and Energy

The Southern Gas Corridor was conceived to help diversify the EU’s access to natural gas, reducing dependence on Russian supply and tapping other resources in the Caspian region and Middle East. While the potential is enormous, only Azerbaijan is currently contributing. For years, the EU has favored the Nabucco project, but participating firms have in fact chosen the smaller Trans Adriatic Pipeline – a choice that reveals the limits of political influence on complex and expensive investments.

An Erring Mediterranean Policy

The EU must accept reality and bid farewell to the principle of conditionality

by Christian Achrainer | Near and Middle East/North Africa, Euro-Mediterranean Partnership

In response to the upheavals in North Africa, the EU has committed itself to linking aid to its southern neighbors more strongly than ever to conditions. This is supposed to induce them to undertake reforms based on the EU model. The incentives offered by Brussels are insufficient, however, especially since the EU is just one actor among many in the region. For these reasons, such an approach is flawed. The EU should instead focus on a more realistic but equally responsible foreign policy.
