 Germany cracks down on exports to Iran
By Chris Bryant in Berlin
The German government has put an almost complete stop on federal
export credit guarantees for domestic companies wanting to do business
with Iran.
The action follows mounting criticism from the US and Israel over
Berlin’s failure to rein in exports to Iran, despite a range of UN
sanctions.
Figures obtained by the Financial Times reveal that in the first half
of 2008 the German government approved export credit guarantees worth
only €73.4m ($95.3m), compared with €387m in the first half of 2007.
For the whole of 2007, the government approved €503m of export
guarantees, compared with €1.16bn in 2006.
The economics ministry said the possibility of German companies
receiving federal guarantees for exports to Iran had become
“extraordinarily restrictive”. “The relevant export control
authorities are strictly applying the current export restrictions.”
A report in German newspaper Handelsblatt said chancellor Angela
Merkel had instructed Michael Glos, economics minister, to stop all
federal credit guarantees covering exports to Iran, barring minor
exceptions.
ermany is one of six countries leading diplomatic efforts to encourage
Iran to abandon its nuclear programme but its actions have been
undermined by figures showing trade with Iran continues to grow.
In the first 11 months of last year German companies exported goods
worth some €3.6bn to Iran, an increase of 10.5 per cent on the same
period in 2007.
Ms Merkel’s office has told German businesses to weigh “moral”
considerations and the “sensitivity” of economic ties with Iran,
before striking deals in Tehran. However, officials say a complete
trade embargo would require new legislation. The chancellor was
pressured to act in November 2007 after a meeting with former
president George W. Bush in Crawford, Texas.
Although Germany’s export regime was tightened, the Israeli government
last year raised concerns over Berlin’s decision to approve a €100m
deal to build three liquefied natural gas plants in Iran, struck by
Steiner Prematechnik Gastec, a German engineering company.
Germany, France and the UK are expected to discuss the possibility of
tougher sanctions against Iran at a meeting in February of the six
powers in Berlin. The other participants are Russia, the US and China.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Gerhard Schröder told the Financial Times
that the former German chancellor would travel to Tehran in mid-
February to hold talks with various parties. “Current political
questions” would be on the agenda, the spokesman said.
German businesses have complained that there is no reason for Germany
to halt the sale of non-sensitive goods to Tehran, particularly during
a period when exports are suffering.
“Unfortunately we are seeing that countries like China and Russia are
filling the gap and taking business that are companies are unable to
transact because of the more exacting restrictions,” André Schwartz,
spokesman for the the Federation of German Wholesale and Foreign Trade
Iran, said.
German banks have withdrawn from financing these deals, causing
difficulties for companies seeking to do business in Iran, although
Iranian banks are trying to make up the difference.
At a conference entitled "Iran Sanctions: Practical Consequence for
German Firms,” organised by the German-Iranian Chamber of Commerce in
Hamburg in November, Bank Melli, Iran’s largest bank, was invited to
give a presentation.
The bank, which has a branch in Hamburg, is one of three Iranian
financial institutions blacklisted by Washington. The meeting is said
to have angered officials in Berlin.
