BRUSSELS, Oct 9 (KUNA) -- The European Union has welcomed the presentation of the final package of the Libyan political agreement by the UNSG Special Representative Bernardino Leon, late on Thursday, as "an important step towards concluding the difficult negotiations of recent months." "The European Union fully supports this final text and the senior leaders of the Government of National Accord, who will now have the responsibility to form the new government and oversee the implementation of the agreement," said EU High Representative Federica Mogherini in a statement here Friday.
She underlined that "there is no time to waste in the formation of a Government of National Accord, so that it may - with the full recognition and support of the international community - begin working for the benefit of all the Libyan people." The EU now expect the Libyan parties to endorse this deal which meets the aspirations of the Libyan people, to take the path of peace and prosperity, noted the statement. (end) nk.gta
