Publication: The New York Times
Date of the article: February 3, 2010

Summary: The European Union and especially Germany are very interested in decreasing quickly the trade with Iran. It is a response for the nuclear program of this country. The German government thinks that German companies should finish their business with Iran. However this is very complicated, because Germany is the main trading partner in Europe for Iran.

Issues:
Are these kinds of policies socially acceptable?
What is the best way to finish with nuclear programs in the world?
Is Iran a threat for the world?

Opinion: I don´t agree with the nuclear programs in the world; however I think that it is very difficult for these companies finish its activities very quickly in Iran, because they have big investments in this country. Besides, I´m not sure if this kind of policies is the best way in this problem, because a lot of people will have big costs and they are not involved in this problem.
