The European Union will set up "a legal entity to facilitate legitimate financial transaction with Iran," EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini announced while reading the joint state of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) participant nations in New York City on Monday.
