EU leaders on Friday said the EU "welcomes with favour and is ready to
support the development of the accord signed between Italy and Libya on
February 2" by Italian authorities and Libyan Premier Fayez al-Serraj,
according to a joint statement issued by the leaders at the Valletta
summit on immigration.
Premier Paolo Gentiloni said after the summit that the European Council
had "very much appreciated" Italy's migrant deal with Libya, calling it
"the opening of a window of opportunity on which Italy will work and
invest, but it is very important that the EU should also work and
invest, and it will do that with additional resources which Juncker and
Mogherini explicitly talked about".
"We must all be aware that it is a first step," he warned, however. "The internationally recognised Libyan government does not have the same control as Erdogan, to make a comparison. You can't expect the situation to suddenly change".
