美歐擬澄清與伊朗做生意的限制

The United States and three key European allies -- Britain, France, and Germany -- say they want to eliminate any confusion about what investment and business deals with Iran are permitted after the nuclear deal.

美國及其3個主要歐洲盟國英國、法國和德國表示，他們希望澄清，按照伊朗核協議，在伊朗的哪些投資和經貿往來是被允許的。

The U.S. and European Union lifted most sanctions on Iran in January after Teheran agreed to curb its nuclear program.

德黑蘭同意對其核項目加以限制後，美國和歐盟於今年1月取消了對伊朗的大部分制裁。

But some sanctions remain, including those related to human rights and terrorism issues.

但一些制裁措施依然有效，包括與人權和恐怖主義有關的制裁措施。

Some businesses are still confused over what is and is not permitted and are withholding investment and trade with Iran.

一些企業仍不清楚制裁措施的限制範圍，因此沒有在伊朗投資，也未同伊朗做生意。

The State Department says it is ready to provide guidance and speedy clarification.

美國國務院説，準備提供相應的指導和及時的説明。

But President Barack Obama said last month that Iran still has to do more to prove to global firms that it is a safe place in which to do business.

但奧巴馬總統上個月指出，伊朗必須採取更多行動，向外國企業證明在伊朗做生意是安全的。
