Paris (AFP) May 03, 2006 All five permanent members of the UN Security Council and Germany agree Iran's nuclear programme "is not compatible with the demands of the international community," a French official said after envoys wrapped up a meeting in Paris. Senior political directors from Britain, China, France, Russia and United States, as well as Germany, "all showed their concern over the development of this programme," said foreign ministry spokesman Jean-Baptiste Mattei. He added that they agreed to pursue discussions on the issue at the foreign minister level in New York next Monday -- advancing by a day a scheduled gathering -- with the aim of reaching a "firm" decision. Iran's nuclear activities go against International Atomic Energy Agency demands, as underlined in an IAEA report to the UN Security Council last Friday, Mattei said. "It has been agreed to pursue discussions, in particular in New York, with the aim of reaching a firm decision from the UN Security Council and addressing a clear message to Iran," he said. "At the same time, thought will be given as to incentive measures and dissuasive measure whose application will depend on Iran's attitude."
