BRUSSELS (Thomson financial) - The European Union on Monday will leave open the possibility of sanctions against Iran over its nuclear programme, following a demand by France and despite the objections of Germany and Italy.According to a text set to be endorsed in Luxembourg by EU foreign ministers, and seen on Friday by Agence France-Presse, 'the EU will consider what additional measures it might take in order to support the UN process and the shared objectives of the international community...'Speaking to AFP on condition of anonymity given the sensitive nature of the Iran dossier, a European diplomat said the text 'leaves the door ajar' to the 27-nation bloc imposing sanctions on Iran beyond those of the United Nations.frances.robinson@thomson.comafp/fr/salCOPYRIGHTCopyright Thomson Financial News Limited 2007.
