Britain, France and Germany to bypass US sanctions on Iran

More Details about INSTEX:

  • INSTEX is a special payment system which will help to save the Iran nuclear deal by allowing Tehran to keep trading with EU companies despite Washington reimposing sanctions.
  • INSTEX is registered at Paris with an initial 3,000 Euros in the capital and a supervisory board with members from France and Germany and chaired by by Britain.
  • INSTEX will support legitimate European trade with Iran, focusing initially on the sectors most essential to the Iranian population such as pharmaceutical, medical devices and agri-food goods. 
  • INSTEX is primarily aimed at small and medium-sized companies.
  • In future, INSTEX will also be opened to other countries wanting to trade with Iran. 
  • INSTEX to be operational requires Iran to set up a parallel structure of its own.

How would INSTEX provide protection against US Sanctions?

  • INSTEX would receive payments from companies that want to trade with Iran, either by receiving waivers for oil imports or permissible trade in goods like food and medicine. 
  • As a result, there would be no direct transfer of funds between Iran and European companies.
  • This would theoretically insulate firms from U.S. penalties.
