EghtesadOnline: Minister-President of Belgium’s Flanders Region Geert Bourgeois said the European Investment Bank will support investment in Iran, underlining Europe’s efforts to strengthen the so-called “blocking statute” to reduce US sanctions’ negative impacts on Iran.

EghtesadOnline: The European Investment Bank’s global operations would be put at risk if it were to invest in Iran, its president said on Wednesday, casting doubt on the EU’s ability to deliver on its pledge to save a nuclear deal with Tehran that Washington has abandoned.

EghtesadOnline: EU lawmakers gave approval on Wednesday for the European Investment Bank ( EIB ) to do business in Iran, overcoming a blocking attempt and keeping alive plans to save the 2015 nuclear deal with Tehran that Washington has abandoned.
