answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2014 answer text <p>The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) and Areva, a French company, jointly own Société franco–iranienne pour l’enrichissement de l’uranium par diffusion gazeuse (SOFIDIF). SOFIDIF in turn has an interest in a uranium enrichment facility in France. The collaboration between AEOI and Areva pre-dates the 1979 Revolution in Iran. We do not believe it has a bearing on P5+1 talks with Iran.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 11/11/2014 16:48:22 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

tabling member printed	Baroness Tonge
uin	HL2633
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2014 answer text Our Embassy in Tel Aviv registered its concerns with the Israeli Ministry of Defence over the matter on 29 October. Israeli media had reported that Defence Minister Moshe Ya'alon had issued a directive that banned Palestinian workers from travelling on Israeli-run public transportation in the West Bank into green-line Israel. The Israeli Ministry of Defence have denied the media reports and clarified that Palestinians will be required to enter and exit Israel through the Eyal border crossing, so that Israel can supervise entries and exits, reducing the risk of a terrorist attack. The Transportation Ministry has said publicly that, by law, Palestinians cannot be prevented from riding buses. The Israeli Attorney General office requested clarification of the directive from the Ministry of Defence by November 9. Posts are monitoring the situation closely. answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 11/11/2014 16:25:44 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns

uin	HL2634
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/11/2014 answer text <p>While we have not raised this issue with the Israeli authorities, there must be a robust process of accountability given the heavy civilian death toll in Gaza. Israel has confirmed plans to form their own investigative committee which we understand will be mandated to investigate the proportionality of Israel Defence Forces actions. To be credible, the committee must be independent, transparent and rigorous, and must draw on lessons from the past to examine how Israel can in future exercise its right to self-defence without such heavy civilian loss of life.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 11/11/2014 16:29:07 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
