The United States has been obviously eager to refer it to New York, to the UN Security Council for the past three years, ... And it's been the EU diplomacy, and the EU-3 diplomacy in particular, that has forestalled that.

The votes haven't come behind the Europeans and the Americans on this, so they have really no recourse but to delay and buy time.
