While Ford rejected the term "preconditions," he did admit that at least some EU institutions will be keeping an eye on the progress of political talks in Tehran before they approve closer trade links between the EU and Iran.
Ford, who visited Iran in July, said the EU's main problem in its talks with Tehran is the presence of what he calls "two contrary state structures" within Iran.
Ford said the EU and the United States are "aiming at the same thing, but approaching it in different ways." He said both want to see improvement in countries like Iran, Iraq, and North Korea, but that the EU believes there are already positive changes afoot in Iran and North Korea that should be supported.

Ford recently visited North Korea with Tribune editor Mark Seddon, who produced this piece on the DPRK, which seems to place the majority of the blame for North Korea's plight on (who else) America.

 Duncan Hallas: Natural laws rule, OK (1978)
But some of Glyn Ford’s argumentation is, in my view, very dubious to say the least.
Glyn Ford seems to cast doubt on the matter, if I have understand him correctly.
Not only because classical marxism is true (and I agree with Glyn Ford that even the truth is relative) but because truth, to a marxist, is operational, because there is an indissoluble connection between theory and practice, because marxism, unlike every trend in bourgeois social thought, is also scientific as Engels rightly claimed.
