BRUSSELS, May 7 (Reuters) - EU foreign policy chief Javier Solana said on Monday his talks with Iran on its disputed nuclear programme were very difficult because Tehran did not want to suspend uranium enrichment, but it was worth trying.

"The situation as you know is very difficult because what we are demanding from Iran is the suspension of activities as long as the negotiations take place ... For the moment this is very difficult to obtain," he told a European Parliament committee.

Solana said the only agreement he reached with chief Iranian negotiator Ali Larijani in two days of talks last month was to report back ideas they had discussed and keep the channel of communication open, adding he expected another meeting in the near future, but probably not this week.
