Seyyed Kamal Seyyed Ali pointed to the banking and trade relations between Iran and Europe in the second year of Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) implementation, mentioning Europeans were conservative due to the special conditions of the deal during the post-JCPOC implementation.



He stated that Europeans think that since the U.S.A. doesn't change its behaviour toward JCPOA, they do not change their manner and also this attitude for big European banks is more serious.



The official referred to the signed finance contracts in post-sanction era with China  and Russia, adding we could finalize and sign finance contracts with them. Seyyed Ali said it seems that Iran can open accounts in this juncture by using domestic banks' branches.
