(Both Ends, Amsterdam, 28 June 2007) In response to questions in the Dutch parliament regarding official support for exports to Iran, the Dutch Minister of Finance expressed the opinion that export credit insurance is not a foreign policy instrument. Official export credit support is not yet part of UN-sanctions against Iran and most EU member states still offer export credit insurances for transactions in Iran.
