“Olli Heinonen, Nackaerts’ predecessor who led the 2008 talks, said: “They didn’t provide access to the people we wanted to see. They gave some documentation in May but we were not really happy with it, when we couldn’t talk to the people involved face-to-face. I went back in summer to tackle it again and there was an unwritten understanding that in September there would be a series of meetings. But then the Iranians stopped it. They made a policy decision not to go for it.”
