Earlier reports indicated that the Iranian and EU officials would meet in Brussels on May 23.

However, EU sources told IRNA that debates over the venue of the talks are still continuing as Brussels will host EU foreign ministers for their regular monthly meeting May 22-23.

The Iran-EU meeting will be held upon the last week request of France, Germany and Britain to hold emergency talks with Iran over the latest developments in its nuclear energy program.

Iran has agreed to the request and announced that the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Hassan Rowhani will meet foreign ministers of the EU-trio for talks on the issue.
