Opposition leader Simon Busuttil said today that it was "not true at all" that the EU had agreed on a "concrete commitment of direct action in Libya" as stated by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat yesterday.
The prime minister made his comment in Brussels where he attended the EU heads of government meeting, which discussed Libya, among other issues.
Dr Muscat had said that Malta was satisfied with this “positive development” in the form of a “concrete commitment”, the first of its kind, to intervene with direct action in Libya.
EU leaders had also given the United Nations the go ahead to implement measures to increase security in the troubled country, he said.
Dr Busuttil also enclosed the formal conclusions of the summit. See http://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-11-2015-INIT/en/pdf
On Thursday, Dr Busuttil said the EU summit meeting was a test for Dr Muscat to persuade the EU to take concrete action about Libya.
