BRUSSELS, 24 Sept. - (ANA) - It is time for courageous and responsible choices for Libya, EU foreign affairs chief Federica Mogherini has said, calling for the approval “as soon as possible” of “the text presenting an inclusive, representative and long-term oriented solution.”
 
“The text, prepared thanks to the unrelenting efforts of UN SRSG Bernardino Leon, has to be agreed as soon as possible, as well as the names for the senior political positions, so that a new Government of National Accord can be formed without further delay. This will allow all Libyans to be united in their efforts to tackle the serious political, economic, security and, increasingly, humanitarian crisis,” said Mogherini.
 
The EU High Representative reaffirmed EU support to the Libyans. “We continue to actively support the negotiations and we stand ready to provide immediate support to the new government, notably with a substantial €100 million package to support Libya on its new course.”


after almost a year of intensive negotiations, Special Representative of the UN Secretary General Bernardino Leon presented the final text of the proposed Libya political framework to establish a new Government of National Accord in Libya. The final document represents the intense efforts of all Libyan parties to reach a solution that is durable, inclusive, and representative.

I urge all parties to come together quickly after the Eid holiday to approve this final text and to agree on the names of the leaders of the new government as soon as possible.

An urgent need exists for Libya, and its friends and partners in the international community, to address its critical humanitarian, economic, and security challenges. The new Government of National Accord will give Libyans the chance to unify their country and begin the hard work of restoring peace and security for the benefit of all Libyans. - (ANA)
