Europe, for its part, has a good opportunity to vindicate itself by committing to a united, coherent, and effective foreign policy. The European Union, now through High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton, has always been a key actor in the negotiations between Iran and the P5+1.
至于欧洲，获得了一次证明自己的良机——通过致力于统一、一致且有效的对外政策。欧盟——目前通过外交事务和安全政策高级代表阿什顿（Catherine Ashton）——一直是伊朗和P5+1谈判的重要行动方。阿什顿的信心不亚于任何一方。对欧盟来说，保持灵活并与美国密切合作十分重要。当需要放松制裁时，欧洲必须与美国紧密合作以实现这一动作效果的最大化。
