Iran has rejected European Union incentives to give up its Uranium enrichment program. Foreign ministry spokesman Hamid Reza Asefi said that any plan has to acknowledge Iran's legal rights under international law , including Article IV of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). It is believed that Britain, France  and Germany, all member states of the EU, are developing incentives for Iran to give up its enrichment programming in an attempt to defuse mutual fears and perceptions of threats by US, Israeli  and Iranian governments. The incentives are believed to include a raft of security, trade and technology benefits. The proposal by the three EU members encourages other nations to support the construction of light water power generation reactors , to set up a nuclear fuel bank and the relaxation of United States trade restrictions to allow Iran to purchase commercial planes built in the US. These incentives are conditional upon Iran renouncing its rights under Article IV of the NPT, i.e. stopping its Uranium enrichment program, and cooperating with the United Nations International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in ways additional to its present cooperation, which at present includes continuous monitoring of many key Iranian nuclear facilities by the IAEA.
