The European Union on Tuesday
insisted it was fully committed to helping resolve the turmoil
in Libya after Italian Premier Matteo Renzi questioned its
seriousness.
"The EU already has a very active role in Libya. We're
doing everything possible. We're working with our international
partners, we have a delegation in Tripoli that's extremely
active," said Michael Mann, spokesman for European Union High
Representative for Foreign Affairs Catherine Ashton.
Earlier Tuesday Renzi said he would continue to press for
more international assistance, as political instability in the
North African country has led to greater migrant traffic to
nearby Italy.
The premier said it was unclear "what Europe's intention
is", and added he intended to bring up the issue at next
Tuesday's European summit and at the G7 meeting of June 4 and 5.
