Russia Says JCPOA Joint Commission to Convene Tuesday in Vienna

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Representatives of Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) are scheduled to hold their second joint commission meeting after implementation of the JCPOA in the Austrian city of Vienna on July 19, Russia's envoy to IAEA said.

"There are two issues that need to be addressed (during the upcoming meeting on Tuesday)," Russia’s Permanent Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Vladimir Voronkov said as cited by the Tass news agency.

"These are the difficulties with enriched uranium accumulated during the enrichment in the pipes and other devices. What has been discovered exceeds the allowed limit of 300 kilograms. And the second issue is heavy water,” he added.

The first meeting of the joint commission was held in the Austrian capital on April 22.

All nuclear-related sanctions imposed on Iran were terminated after Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) reached the nuclear agreement on July 14, 2015 and started implementing it on January 16.
