Has anyone here ever worked in a GEC? Therefore selling products and/or services to such a country.
Any repercussions?
Just asking like.
EU sanctions against Iran
The European Union has imposed restrictions on cooperation with Iran in foreign trade, financial services, energy sectors and technologies, and banned the provision of insurance and reinsurance by insurers in member states to Iran and Iranian-owned companies.Comment

You are right. Usually it's the train car manufacturing facility that makes tanks (easier to conceal heavy stuff brought in), so this automotive place probably manufactures light APCs.Originally posted by sasguru View PostNo its an automotive plant probably making cars

I was there a few months ago. It’s safe as long as you keep out of politics and be aware of many (millions) dodgy refugees that have been let in the country.Originally posted by sasguru View PostNo its an automotive plant probably making cars

Germany, France, Japan and China are in the country big time and disregard sanctions. Well know companies such as Peugeot-Citron, VW, Fiat, and Siemens have not just assembly plants but also manufacturing and development. There are loads of foreign telecoms companies and it seems that the only countries left out are the UK and USA with the exception of Microsoft and HP. In fact all it seems to be HP and Microsoft based. Iran is exporting their own make of trucks, buses and aircraft. In fact sanctions have been the inspiration for a boost in the home grown technologies.
