BRUSSELS (TASS) -- Big EU companies are not ready to oppose U.S. sanctions on Iran despite the European Union’s decision to neutralize the extraterritorial effects of U.S. sanctions, Russian Permanent Representative to the EU Vladimir Chizhov told reporters here on Wednesday.
"I have information about at least a hundred such companies coming from EU member states," the Russian envoy said. "Their choice is easy to understand in a quantitative sense as their business in the U.S. is larger than in Iran," he added.
