WRITTEN QUESTION P-1001/04

by Ulla Sandbæk (EDD) to the Commission

(25 March 2004)

Subject: Critical dialogue with Iranian theocracy on minorities

Has the issue of minorities been discussed during the critical dialogue with the Iranian theocracy and, if so,
when and how, and what plans or strategies are in place for future dialogue concerning the position of
minorities in Iran?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(26 April 2004)

The EU and Iran have held specific discussions on Human Rights through three rounds of the EU (cid:1) Iran
Human Rights Dialogue. These meetings comprise the EU Troika and Iranian officials (including Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, Parliament and Judiciary), as well as representatives of Human Rights institutions, civil
society and academia from both sides. Since the third and most recent round in October 2003,
representatives from the Parliament also participate.

On the occasion of the first round in Tehran on 16/17 December 2002, two main themes were focused
upon: Discrimination and Prevention of Torture.

The rights of minorities (ethnic and religious) were discussed under the theme Discrimination. This
dialogue also feeds into the semi-annual Comprehensive Dialogue Meetings with Iran, held at deputy
ministerial level and covering bilateral, regional and global matters including Human Rights.

As Council conclusions confirm, the EU monitors the Human Rights Dialogue and assesses progress on the
issue of minorities, as well as other themes, on the basis of concrete benchmarks.
