EU Sanctions on Iran Oil/Gas, correct in principle, shouldn't be manipulated on details.
EU's will to extend Iran Sanctions also towards Oil/Gas because of Nuclear proliferation risks, seem logical as a matter of Principle, which has reportedly been agreed by all countries involved.
But, apparently, an obscure Lobby attempts to provoke counter-productive divisions between EU Member Countries before Final, concrete Decisions, while,also curiously, ... favoring the notorious plans of Turkey (the recent Troublemaker in the area, with its isolated attempts to cover-up Iran's Nuclear intransigeance, Brutally provoke Violent clashes with Israel, etc) to abuse of Iranian Oil/Gas via too expensive, and risky Pipelines !
F.ex. it looks strange to put the accent against Ship Transport of Liquefied Gas and Oil, which could be done directly by EU Ships, (that EU can Stop or Go whenever it wants), while, at the same time, Turkey, a trouble-maker and unreliable Third, Foreign Country, would be let free to accaparate Iran's Oil/Gas exports via Pipelines crossing Turkey, i.e. without any real possibility for the EU to control the situation, (f.ex. what is going on around Diyarbakir) !...
It's also irrational to curiously .. Favor those who grossly Misbehaved (as Turkey), and provoke useless Problems to those who kept a correct stance...
This dangerous Contradiction, between, from one side, the Strategic Political Objectives, decided by EU Heads of State/Government, in coherence with the recent Events involving Turkish Provocations vis a vis Israel, and Turkey's attempts over Iran's Enriched Uranium, etc. and, from the other side, an EU Commision's and EU Council Secretariat's partly controversial Draft about "Concrete Measures", due to be decided later this Month, obviously threaten to provoke some last-minute Problems, which are both unnecessary and easily avoidable.
EU Leaders' main Political Will must not be manipulated and outplayed by any obscure, counter-productive Lobby, neither in Iran's obviously dangerous case, (considering also Turkey's recent irresponsible opportunism), nor elsewhere !
