EU three
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from P5+1)
The EU 3 (or G3) refers to France, Germany and the United Kingdom, with relation to the status, power and influence of these three nations within the European Union (EU).[1] The EU 3 attempts to lead the policy of the EU, though more often as the G6 post-2004, and in particular, EU foreign policy: for example when they led EU efforts attempting to cease the nuclear programme in Iran.
EU 3 + 3 (also referred to as the E3+3, or P5+1 referring to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council plus Germany) refers to France, Germany, Russia, United Kingdom, United States, and People's Republic of China. It was coined when these states joined the diplomatic efforts with Iran in regards to its nuclear program.[2]
