"Spanish officials said the company targeted in their investigation, ONA Electroerosion SA, sent to Iran, via through a Turkish-registered intermediary, seven multi-ton machines used in the manufacture of turbine propellers for energy generation, among other things... A person who answered the phone on Monday at ONA's headquarters said executives were in a meeting and wouldn't comment... ONA is a leading manufacturer of electrical discharge machining equipment, a kind of industrial tool used to make production parts for the electronic, aerospace and auto industries... The case against ONA was the second major crackdown in 18 months on Spaniards allegedly doing business with Iran."

"Three foreign currency printing companies have decided to discontinue their businesses in Iran, UANI (United Against Nuclear Iran U.S. group) Communications Director Nathan Carleton told Trend. Earlier this month, UANI has launched a 'Iran Rial Currency Printing Campaign', which targeted companies that print Rial for the Islamic Republic.According to Nathan Carleton, three such companies have stopped their businesses there, as a result of UANI's campaign.'All three of the firms we contacted, 'KBA', 'Flint', and 'DLR', have informed us that they are no longer involved in currency printing in Iran,' Carleton said, noting that UANI applauds the companies for their decisions . . . Flint, an ink and chemical supplier based in Luxemburg, worked in Iran through SunColor Inks Co., and held the patent for a trademarked family of banknote printing products repeatedly requested by the Central Bank of Iran . . . Nathan Carleton noted that no one should be helping the Iranian regime print more currency during this critical time.'We will continue to observe the rial's value, but we do not expect it to improve unless the regime changes course.'"

"Peugeot Citroen SA and hundreds of smaller firms are feeling the sting of sanctions against Tehran as the French government withholds 220 million euros set aside by an Iranian bank for future payments for exports . . . The holdup has also dealt a blow to smaller companies by preventing them from fulfilling and receiving payment for pledged deliveries to Iran of European goods not under sanctions . . . The French Treasury has refused to release any of the money previously set aside in a Bank Tejarat account in Paris to guarantee payments for exports . . . If Tejarat's funds are eventually released, one option is to use some or all of the EUR220 million to finance export deals by 200 French and German companies that also have blocked letters of credit from Iran, the people familiar with the situation at Tejarat said. Mecatherm SA of Schirmeck, eastern France, which exports bakery ovens to Iran, and Sogeval SA, of Laval, western France, which markets its veterinary products in the Islamic Republic, are among those in this situation, the people said. The companies didn't answer messages seeking comment." (Dow Jones, "France Withholds Funds From Peugeot Over Iran Sanctions Fears -Sources," 8/21/12)
