The chaos in Libya and its need for a \u201cMarshall Plan\u201d, divisions over the complex Mediterranean region, European Union foreign policy and a united and effective Europe, were the issues confronted today in a briefing by Deputy Foreign Minister Marta Dass\u00f9 before the lower house foreign affairs commission on EU foreign and security policy.<\/P>

Libya<\/STRONG>, a \u201cMarshall Plan\u201d to quell the chaos<\/STRONG><\/P> Libya is \u201calready Somalia\u201d, since \u201ctotal chaos\u201d reigns \u2013 this was the alarm launched by Marta Dass\u00f9 as she spoke today before the Lower House, making no secret of how \u201cunmanageable\u201d the situation has become and how the \u201cblack hole of Misurata is now the principal font of the migration problems\u201d that Europe, and Italy, are going to have to face. The Deputy Minister commented on \u201cour crucial role in efforts to put things right\u201d, underscoring nevertheless, the additional need for \u201ca sort of international \u2018Marshall Plan\u2019 \u201c to raise that \u201cdisaggregated\u201d country out of a political paralysis, infighting and terrorism, two years on from the end of the Gaddafi regime, at risk of spreading \u201cto the Sahel, for example\u201d.<\/P> From the Mediterranean to energy, the EU needs to update common strategy<\/STRONG><\/P> Touching on more specific community aspects, Dass\u00f9 explained that \u201cthe only foreign policy that has worked is enlargement\u201d, while other dossiers, such as the Mediterranean Neighbourhood Policy \u201cremain fraught with division\u201d. In the Balkans, for example, we have \u201cexported democracy and common standards to countries that are not modernised, but where the EU does not offer membership it is less effective\u201d, she added. Instead, in the case of the Mediterranean, divisions among the interests of \u201cmajor nations such as France, the UK and Germany\u201d have weighed on decisive fronts such as Libya and Syria. For that reason, Dass\u00f9 underscored, the EU must \u201cupdate a common strategy that has not changed since 2003\u201d in order to \u201chave a more prominent role in global challenges\u201d. This updating, according to the deputy minister, should also be channeled through the energy dossier, where \u201cthe EU should have a common policy negotiated with major suppliers\u201d such as Russia, Azerbaijan and the Arab Emirates to \u201creduce the energy price divide with the United States\u201d.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The chaos in Libya and its need for a \u201cMarshall Plan\u201d, divisions over the complex Mediterranean region, European Union foreign policy and a united and effective Europe, were the issues confronted today in a briefing by Deputy Foreign Minister Marta Dass\u00f9 before the lower house foreign affairs commission on EU foreign and security policy.
