We wanted to come together for talks earlier than this,” said Michael Mann, spokesman for EU foreign policy Chief Catherine Ashton, who is leading the negotiations. “What’s important to us is that they engage in these negotiations and take seriously what we’ve put on the table.

He described the world powers’ newest gambit as “a good offer” but declined to say what it would include.
