After the nuclear deal, the sanctions against Iran are lifted in the first quarter 2016. The German economy hopes for a doubling of the trading volume. Sigmar Gabriel will also talk about Israel.
The German economy looks to be expected with the Repeals of sanctions against Iran is a huge potential for businesses. Federal Minister Sigmar Gabriel (SPD) has landed on Sunday evening with a small delegation in Tehran. On board were, among others, the head of the Federation of German Industries, Ulrich Grillo, and Eric Schweitzer, head of the German Chamber of Commerce Tags
Gabriel’s trip had been planned since April -. Overlooking the hoped-for conclusion for a nuclear deal. The timing is now perfect, and his visit attracted attention: The multiple delays in the negotiations on the nuclear deal between Iran and the United Nations Gabriel is the first Western politician who travels to Iran after the nuclear deal. He is ever the first German Minister for 15 years, visiting Iran. On Monday, a week before the breakthrough had succeeded to the fact that the international community could commit Iran to conditions and controls that make it impossible for the country to build a nuclear bomb within a year. The trip was also intended “to show that it is worthwhile for Iran to give up nuclear weapons,” Gabriel. Said
On Monday Gabriel Minister Hassan Rohani will hit. The Vice-Chancellor will also meet with the oil minister, the Minister of Energy and Industry Minister. Late in the evening Gabriel continues to fly to Isfahan, where he visited cultural and historical sites tomorrow, including the snatches Behesht Palace, the Imanplatz and the Armenian Vanak Cathedral.
For the business leaders of the early time is as good as the Greyhound principle applies to you: First come, makes the best shops. “The interest in Iran is very big,” Schweitzer said on the flight to Tehran. The company hoped to businesses in the fields of energy and environmental technologies, in particular waste water technology, as well as in the automotive industry. Also in infrastructure projects will be doing business. There is a long tradition of good trade relations between Germany and Iran. In the 70s, at the time of the Shah, Iran was Germany’s most important foreign trade partner outside Europe. The country is wealthy, and much of the nearly 80 million Iranians has a high level of education. Throughout the country there are universities.
Through the sanctions against Iran, the German economy has lost ground, while the Indians and the Chinese have done good business at this time. So the volume of trade with Iran is currently at 2.6 billion euros. The Chinese is 15 times as high.
Despite the nuclear agreement and the green light for the economy going again in Iran, still remain out of view of the German government considerable obstacles for the normalization of relations with Iran , Gabriel said this at the opening of the trip very clearly: “Of course we have to talk about difficult issues, such as human rights and Israel,” the minister said. Who wants to do with Germany shops, could not make the existence of Israel in question. Gabriel will also meet with representatives of non-governmental organizations.
investment funds are in the Islamic country where the highest decision-making authority Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei acts, abundant. As part of the sanctions $ 100 billion Iranian assets were frozen internationally. These funds can be released in 2016, when Iran has the implementation of the nuclear agreement initiated. Iran also has the second largest natural gas reserves in the world and the fourth largest oil reserves. With the lifting of sanctions and the finances can gush through exports again. While the gross domestic product of Iran has declined by 1.9 percent because of the sanctions and the political leadership of 2012 at 6.6 and 2013 it rose in 2014 to the 2013 elected moderate conservative Rohani at three percent. For this year, an increase of 0.6 in 2016 and 1.3 percent is expected.
The German government hopes to strengthen by an intense trade with Iran, the reformist forces in the country. The strategy could be successful. By sanctions in recent years productivity has declined in the country. There is a wide layer of young unemployed graduates who could find jobs in new production sites of German companies. The government Rohani takes a pragmatic policy approach. Iran is keen to re-establish good relations with the West. As a hurdle for a thriving business with Iran is considered, however, the question of whether to put the big German banks regain confidence in the country. So far, they had to reckon with fines if they also did business with the United States and Iran.
According to current situation, banks could dare to re-enter the business in Iran. But in Iran there are so many conflicting political forces that it by no means is generally agreed that the nuclear deal will endure. So asked the parliament in which many very conservative forces sit by the Government to vote on the agreement. The government did not want to take that chance and asked the Supreme Guardian Council, which is primarily made up of clerics. This advice is usually for weeks. In the case of the agreement they came to two days to the conclusion that it was constitutional. . A point victory for the forces in the country who wish to connect to the West
