The document, distributed to a limited extent in Vienna and who had access Efe, confirmed that since last June, Iran has reduced the number of centrifuges are being fed with uranium hexafluoride gas to produce enriched uranium.

Both German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, warned this week that if there is a change of attitude on Tehran over its nuclear defiance, the possibility of new sanctions will be discussed the United Nations.
