"I would like to say that I am following this issue very closely. I think I was the first person to see the children in Benghazi. I had discussions with the families. I then saw the nurses, the Palestinian doctor and the leader Gaddafi. I would like to confirm that the Commission and I, personally, are very much involved in this case. We showed that in our recent report to Parliament on 17 January. I can assure you that reaching a satisfactory solution has top priority. We know it is a tragic case. In the meantime, our team of negotiators is engaged in a dialogue with the Libyan authorities. This is still open. However, it is also expected that no decision can be taken as long as the judicial procedure is not concluded. There is still one step to go.
On the basis of future developments, the Commission and the Council will then assess the situation anew and decide what further action to take. As I have said, we are involved in a dialogue with the Libyan authorities.
I must make it clear that Libya and the European Union are not linked by any international agreement. Therefore, there is no framework for official cooperation, except the EU Council conclusions of October 2004 that establish a policy of engagement with Libya on specific issues, such as HIV/AIDS and migration."@en1
