VIENNA, Feb. 1 (Xinhuanet) -- France, Germany and Britain, which represent the European Union (EU), tabled here on Wednesday afternoon a draft resolution on the Iran nuclear issue to the IAEA Board of Governors, urging the issue be referred to the UN Security Council.

    The draft resolution asks Iran to take various confidence building steps on its peaceful nature of nuclear program, a Vienna-based diplomat told Xinhua.

    The steps include: to "re-establish full and suspension of all enrichment-related and reprocessing activities," including research and development; to "reconsider the construction of a research reactor moderated by heavy water."

    The draft resolution requests the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to "report to" the UN Security Council these steps required of Iran, said the diplomat, who declined to notify his name.

    The IAEA's decision-making body -- the 35-member Board of Governors will hold an extraordinary meeting on Thursday to discuss the draft resolution. Enditem
