Netanyahu for renegotiation of Iran nuclear deal
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday again denounced the agreement between Tehran and world powers as a “bad deal” that “endangers” Israel and will leave Iran with a large nuclear infrastructure.
An outline deal agreed in Switzerland on Thursday paves the way for Tehran to curtail its nuclear activity in exchange for relief from punishing economic sanctions.
“It doesn´t roll back Iran´s nuclear program,” Netanyahu told CNN, one of several US networks he appeared on to slam the deal Sunday.
“It keeps a vast nuclear infrastructure in place. Not a single centrifuge is destroyed. Not a single nuclear facility is shut down, including the underground facilities that they built illicitly. Thousands of centrifuges will keep spinning enriching uranium. That´s a bad deal.”
Israel´s government reacted angrily to the historic agreement, which aims for a June 30 deadline for a final deal, with Netanyahu demanding that Iranian recognition of the Jewish state´s right to exist be written into the agreement.
“If a country that vows to annihilate us and is working every day with conventional means and unconventional means to achieve that end, if that country has a deal that paves its way to nuclear weapons, many nuclear weapons, it endangers our survival,” the prime minister said.
“I´ll tell you what else will happen,” he added. “I think it will also spark an arms race with the Sunni states,” a reference to Gulf monarchies.
Saudi Arabia fears that if too much of Iran´s nuclear program is left intact, it will still have the ability to obtain an atomic bomb, and there are concerns that Riyadh could seek its own nuclear capability.
Iran and Saudi Arabia have had troubled relations in recent years after taking different sides in the Syrian civil war.
Terror machine
Netanyahu told ABC News that the money that will flow back into Iran as sanctions ease will not be used to help the population.
“It lifts the sanctions on them fairly quickly and enables them to get billions of dollars into their coffers,” he said.
“They´re not going to use it for schools or hospitals or roads… they´re going to use it to pump up their terror machine worldwide and their military machine that is busy conquering the Middle East now.”
Relations between Israel and its traditionally staunch US ally are at a low and were hugely damaged when Netanyahu took the unprecedented step of addressing Congress last month to attack the nuclear negotiations with Iran.
When asked if he trusts President Barack Obama, Netanyahu replied: “I trust that the president is doing what he thinks is good for the United States, but I think that we can have a legitimate difference of opinion on this because I think Iran has shown to be completely distrustful.”
One part of the complex deal would see Iran slash by more than two-thirds the number of uranium centrifuges – which can make fuel for nuclear power but also the core of a nuclear bomb – to 6,104 from around 19,000 for 10 years.
California Democratic Senator Dianne Feinstein, also speaking on CNN, said Netanyahu´s comments could “backfire on him.”
“I wish that he would contain himself because he has put out no real alternative,” Feinstein said.
Ben Rhodes, the US deputy national security adviser for strategic communications, said Netanyahu was wrong because no deal could be reached that involved Iran dismantling its nuclear program.
“Obviously that´s the preferable solution,” Rhodes told CNN. “But the fact is Iran was never going to agree to a deal in which they got rid of their entire nuclear infrastructure.”
Republican Senator Bob Corker, the chairman of the United States Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, said it was too early to judge the deal.
“There´s a lot of water that needs to go under the bridge here. Many, many details are unknown at this point,” Corker told Fox News.
“I don´t know how anyone could really ascertain whether this is something good or bad yet for the American citizenry.”

Brussels denial: Modi upbeat on trans-Atlantic tour
ASHOK B SHARMA
Brussels may not be willing to oblige India by inviting Prime Minister Narendra Modi as it is perturbed over the delay in rendering justice to two Italian marines who allegedly shot down two Indian fishermen in the country’s waters. But France and Germany have taken a different view and are set to welcome the Indian Prime Minister.
Brussels’ denial, however, does not upset Modi’s calculus. The India-EU Broad-based Trade and Investment Agreement (BTIA) is still under negotiation, to settle contentious issues relating to intellectual property rights among others. According to several trade analysts, watering down of Indian intellectual property regime and data exclusivity at the behest of the European Union is likely to spell doom for Indian pharma and agro-chemical industry in particular. The terms being insisted upon by the European Union are inimical to India’s dairy sector. EU wants free access to their subsidized skimmed milk powder and Feta cheese.
At the World Trade Organisation (WTO), India and other developing countries have consistently complained about highly subsidized European agriculture and protectionist barriers like high tariff regime, non-tariff barriers and politically motivated sanitary and phyto-sanitary measures (SPS). These European initiatives have placed farmers in the Third World countries at a serious disadvantage, denying them a level playing field in multilateral trade. While keeping their subsidy regime and protectionist measures intact, the European Union wants easy access to their farm products and also industrial products like scrap cars in the Indian market. It also wants elimination of export tax on raw materials exported to Europe.
The European Union has become more protectionist in trade following the global recession that followed the liquidation of Lehman Brothers in US in 2008. Again the blow of the sovereign debt crisis made Europe difficult to recover and return to its pre-recession growth rate. EU’s involvement in the Ukraine crisis further complicated the problem. EU had been a major destination for Indian exports which have experienced considerable shrinkage following recession in Europe. In such a situation it is unlikely that EU would make any major concessions to accommodate Indian exports. Rather it would be seeking more markets for its goods.
However, investment in enterprises is a different ball game altogether. India needs more inflow of foreign direct investments (FDIs) to facilitate growth. But unfortunately both trade and investment are clubbed together in BTIA which has made it difficult to reach a final conclusion. Yet there is scope for striking bilateral trade and investment agreements with several European countries which can be a better option. Hence it would be better not to harp too much on deal like BTIA with EU, but rather go ahead with inking mutually beneficial agreements with major European economies like France, Germany, and UK.
Though in aggregate terms the countries of the European Union (EU-15) are growing slowly at 1.2 per cent, Germany, UK and France have the potential to grow faster. Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to visit France and Germany in the second and third week of April and is expected to ink several bilateral agreements and seek investments from these countries. In the first leg of his visit he is scheduled to meet President Francois Hollande. The purchase of Dassault Aviation’s $12 billion Rafale fighter planes, Multi-crore Maitri surface-to-air missile system project - SR-SAM project are likely to figure in the talks along with proposals for strengthening defence cooperation. The two sides are expected to take up Jaitapur nuclear power project where the two countries are planning installation of six nuclear power plants in a phased manner.
On 6 December 2010, an agreement was signed for the construction of the first set of two third-generation European Pressurized Reactors and the supply of nuclear fuel for 25 years, in the presence of the then French president Nicolas Sarkozy and then Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh. But in this year’s Defence Budget there is very small space for a big ticket purchases in the pipeline like $12 billion for medium multirole fighter jets, $1.2 billion for six Airbus A330 tankers, $1.1 billion for 22 Boeing Apache attack helicopters, $1 billion for 197 light utility helicopters, $833 million for 15 Boeing Chinook heavy lift helicopters, $600 million for light howitzer guns from BAE Systems, $200 million for 98 Black Shark torpedoes from WASS, $350 million for 1,418 Israeli-made thermal imaging sights for T-72 tanks, $250 million for 262 Barak missiles from Israel Aerospace Industries.
However, with a view to curtail defence imports, Prime Minister Modi is insisting upon co-designing, co-production and co-development of defence equipment and platforms in the country under the Make in India initiative. This is the time for him to discuss and finalise such initiatives with President Hollande. Also Prime Minister Modi may take the advantage to discuss cooperation in renewable energy and combating climate change ahead of the Paris talks.
As India is a partner country to Hannover Messe 2015, Modi’s visit to Germany is likely to centre round urging for more investment flows into the country. Apart from inaugurating the Hannover Messe along with Chancellor Angela Merkel, he will have bilateral discussions with Chancellor Merkel and other senior leaders. After the joint ‘Walk Through’ of selected Indian stalls in Hannover Messe, both leaders are scheduled to attend the inaugural session of the Indo-German Business Summit. More than 300 Indian companies and 100 CEOs of Indian companies are participating in Hannover Messe. About 12 state governments, including Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Punjab, Gujarat, Rajasthan and UP will exhibit their profiles in the State Pavilion adjacent to India Pavilion.
Germany is a leader in renewable energy and Modi expects to mobilise investments for not only renewable energy, but also for electronics and electricals, smart cities, Skill India, heavy industries and motion drive and automation and Digital India. He is also expected to appeal to the Indian diaspora in France and Germany.
Modi’s visit will not only be limited to these two European countries, but it will be Trans-Atlantic, covering Canada as well. In his scheduled visit in mid-April, he is expected to discuss with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and interact with the Indian community. It was Prime Minister Harper who cleared the deal for sale of Canadian uranium to India in 2012 for use in nuclear power plants. Apart from trade and investment issues, talks are likely to be on combating climate change and cooperation in renewable energy.
Thus Brussels’ denial to host Modi is unlikely to derail Indian strategy if bilateral agreements are carefully inked with France, Germany and Canada. Indian officials are quite confident of the success of the Prime Minister’s coming visit to France, Germany and Canada.
