EEAS Crisis response +Operations Director Miozo to EuroFora on 1st EU mission to Libya + MEPs' votes
The current situation in Libya is "improving dramatically" fast, but "Security" is due to remain yet a "Key" for Economic Development, and EU, which is positively perceived by the Population, can play there an Important Role, stressed EEAS' Crisis Response and Operations' Director, Agostino Miozzo, to "EuroFora", just after his return from the 1st EU Mission in the country that he visited "between the 21fst of August and September 9".
People are returning back, businesses are re-opening, water and electricity re-established, etc., while EU's Flag has a positive Emotional impact among the Libyan People, but dealing with last pockets of resistance from Gaddafi's cronies, Borders' Security, Arms control, and the obvious need to build a New Army and Police, as well as Democratic Institutions, able to provide credible "Alternatives" to young people currently equiped with arms, remain key issues in order to ensure an efficient Economic Development of the country's huge ressources, he observed.
Miozzo earlier replied to several MEPs' Questions during a Special, Joint Session of EU Parliament's Committees on Foreign policy, Security and Defence, as well as for relations with Maghreb Countries, which was prolonged until late Evening this Monday in Strasbourg.
Meanwhile, EU Parliament's Plenary voted, earlier today, with a Large Majority of 131 versus 95 MEPs, in order to Change its Agenda and prepare to definitiovely adopt a Resolution on Libya, as well as on Syria, after a Public Debate on Wednesday afternoon, during Thusday Noon's voting time. MEPs rejected a previous proposal to postpone the Vote on Libya for the next 2 Weeks, particularly because they found urgent to clearly express EU's position before colonel Gaddafi might be captured.
-----------------------------
EEAS' key Director spoke to "EuroFora" shortly after EU Parliament's Foreign Policy Committee, in a largely attended meeting full of key and experienced MEPs, also Voted to "strongly Reject" some controversial proposals to reduce 2012 Budget's Funds for EU's "Crisis Response" bracket of the "Instrument for Stability" (IfS), which, as they reiterated, "is EU's only Tool to provide Funds in Emerging Crises" fast enough, but also to "stress" that "Support for Neighbouring South Mediterranean Countries is Crucial, to help Transition to Democracy", particularly "in light of the latest Developments in particular in Libya", (even if this should be "Equilibrated" by equivalent Funds also for the Eastern EU Neighborhood).
MEPs' votes also maintained today EU Parliament's commitment to actively contribute, (thanks to its greater potential for links with EU Citizens, as well as for transparent, pluralist Debates), "to enhance the Democratic Legitimacy of EU Foreign Policy", in which they refused to exclude eventualy Dual or "Military" aspects.

Europe brings Development dynamics at Global Crisis' Summit debates
Thanks also to EU Parliament Plenary's Strasbourg gathering, EU, during the French EU Presidency, managed to integrate the Development issues at Top Debates on the World Summit against the Economic Crisis :
For the 1st time, it's at the same moment with the Wahington G-20 Summit that EU Commissioner Louis Michel co-organizes here with the French EU Presidency parallel mega-events for the "European Development Days", starting from this Week-End and concluding at the eve of a landmark debate in EU Parliament, next Tuesday, on the outcome and follow-up of the Wash.DC Summit.
EU and its Member Countries are the biggest donor for UNO's Millenium Development goals, with 56%, but the 27 are currently struggling to develop a collective leadership in Economic and social matters, that the 15 of EuroGroup (together with the UK and other countries interested to be usefully associated) are starting to spearhead, after the initial success of the 1st EuroZone Heads of State and Government Summit, of October 12 in Paris, according to a New Repport by MEPs Pervench Beres and Werner Langen on the 10 Years of EuroZone (1999-2009) debated Monday and voted on Tuesday.
EU, CoE and World personalities will interact here with Heads of State or Government from Tanzania (African Union chair), Burkina Faso (CEDEAO + UEMOA chair), Zimbabwe (MDC chair), Madagascar, Haiti, Mali, Benin, etc, and some 3000 participants from the Economy, Civil Society, Media, Experts, etc, while the City of Strasbourg adds various related Citizen-events.
Opened by French Secretary of State Alain Joyandet on November 15, and followed by a video-contact with EU Commission President Jose Baroso on the Washington Summit Sunday, the EDD are concluded by Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner on Monday, while their main concerns cannot be ignored in the Debate that EU Parliament will hold on Tuesday, (followed by a Resolution on Wednesday), jointly on the G-20 Washington Summit and on EU Commission's work program for 2009.
A practical opportunity for EU to reflect where it's better to spend EU Citizens' money...
The move is prolonged in several Paris' meetings of EU chair, French President Nicolas Sarkozy with African Heads of State leading regional Organizations, as from Tanzania (A.U. Chair), Burkina Faso (chair of Economic African organizations), Togo, etc, (in parallel with a Ministerial EU - African Union conference in Ethiopia, followed by a visit to Tchad), logically concluded by a meeting with Robert Zoellic President of the World Bank.
Many have already warned that an eventual aggravation of Development's Gap accross the World might become much more dangerous to Global Economy, Security, Values and Quality of Life, than Global Warming and/or other, even more serious challenges...
Will they find an innovative and voluntarist way to really deal with the Development Gap, which might also contribute to help face the Economic Crisis ?
