BRUSSELS, Belgium - European Union foreign ministers agreed on Monday to act to put an end to Iranian state censorship, saying the jamming of satellite broadcasts and Internet controls are "unacceptable."

Europe "calls on the Iranian authorities to stop the jamming of satellite broadcasting and Internet censorship and to put an end to this electronic interference immediately," the bloc's 27 foreign ministers said in an agreed text.

"The EU is determined to pursue these issues and to act with a view to put an end to this unacceptable situation."

Iranian authorities have cracked down on the media and arrested scores of journalists since anti-government protests erupted after President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election last June.

The Islamic regime has also resorted to communications blackouts, targeting the BBC's Persian-language broadcasts among others.

Nearly 70 foreign radio and television stations that transmit via the Eutelsat satellite to Iran were jammed on February 11, the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, they said.
