EU officials push for bloc to enforce Libya arms embargo
Author: admintech | Filed under: WorldEuropean Union officials are seeking support from member states to have naval ships enforce the U.N. arms embargo against Libya, according to a document obtained by The Associated Press on Friday. The proposal, circulated ahead of a meeting of EU foreign ministers next Monday, urges member states to agree on whether gathering information on and upholding the U.N. embargo should become the naval mission’s “core task,” while monitoring people smuggling would become a “supporting task” carried out from the air.
