*Paris/Elysee Palace/Angelo Marcopolo/- The importance of Russia and China's participation, tomorrow, to Paris' International Conference to  support New Libya (See also other "EuroFora"s NewsReport today), co-organized by French President Sarkozy and British Prime Minister Cameron was highlighted also in short but topical statements to "EuroFora" by Sarkozy's Diplomatic Sherpa, David Levitte, UNO's underSecretary General for Peacekeeping operations Alain Le Roy, as well as Russian President Medvedev's envoy to Libya, Michael Margelov, President of Duma's Foreign Affairs Committee and former long-time Chairman of EDG Group in CoE's Assembly in Strasbourg (See also previous Margelov statements to "EuroFora")  :

It's the 1st time that Russia and China will participate in a Paris' International Conference on Libya, since they had been absent in the March 19, crucial EU-USA/Canada-Arab Ligue-UNO Summit to help Libyan People, (See "EuroFora"s NewsReports from the event), but now they' anounced that they will be represented (China reportedy sending a Minister), as well as many other Countries who will be also present in such an event for the 1st time too, including f.ex. Turkey -whose Prime Minister Erdogan recently visited Libya to get a.. Gaddafi Prize for "Human Rights (sic !) and Cyprus, (who was earlier hesitant because of NATO's involvement, despite strategic UK Military Bases' use at the nearby island), at Foreign Ministers level both,  etc.

Earlier today (see other "EuroFora"s NewsReport for more details), Sarkozy, indirectly but surely, highlighted the importance of Russia and China's participation in such collective moves, as well as South Africa's and certain other Key Countries, f.ex. when he stressed that France's active role in the Coalition's operation in Libya had been organized only at the basis of an "Explicit Mandate" with a "UNO's Security Council's Unanimous Resolution" to save Libyan people, earlier obtained by Foreign Minister Alain Juppé at New York, and that he "regretted" the fact that a similar move hadn't yet been able to occur also on Syria, despite "Massacers" , arrest, torture and muzling reportedly going by the Bashar Assad Regime, but launched a call to "fight for a Consensus" at UNO's SC.

UNO's  decisions on Libya are also used for the urgent degel of at least part of Libyan State's Bank deposits around the World, which had been "freezed" since the beginning if the conflict as a part of Sanctions against the Colonel Gaddafi's regime. But degel decisions have already started to be taken, (mainly at 1,5 Million per Country 1st part), after the Rebels' succesful entry in Tripoli.   

- "This time, China and Russia are going to be both present in Paris' Conference tomorrow (Thursday), and that's, indeed, important", stressed from the outset, speaking to "EuroFora",  Sarkozy's Diplomatic Sherpa, the experienced David Levitte, (a long-time Ambassador to Washington DC, and also former President Chirac's adviser).

But Levitte appeared sincerely surprised and told us that he "didn't know" that Russian Envoy Margelov was due to arrive already Tonight, i.e. one Day Earlier..

- This was revealed to "EuroFora" by Margelov himself, who told us earlier, in a Phone Conversation, that he was already "crossing Airport Security check" in his way to Paris, where he felt that the fact that he would represent Russia. was "great".

Even if Russia hasn't yet officially recognized TNC, nevertheless, President Medvedev has recently sent Margelov to meet the Rebels' leadership at their initial Headquarters in Benghazi, followed by a trip to Tripoli, in an attempt to find a compromise for a Peaceful departure of Colonel Gaddafi, which faced, finally, a blunt refusal from the controversial General's entourage and personaly himself. The move was prepared as part of a Deal between Medvedev and Sarkozy,  brokered on the sidelines of the recent G8 Heads of State/Government Summit at the End of May 2011, implying that Gaddafi should drop power and leave; (See "'EuroFora"s NewsReports from the spot).

       But both China and Russia are notoriously concerned by the use of NATO's organization capabilities in Libya, and this, apparently remains a crucial point for them.But the possibility to use, if not for Libya now, at least for Syria a kind of Collective Peace-Keeping force, composed by all UN SC 5 Permanent Members, etc., wasn't rejected today by the competent UNO's Under-Secretary General, Alain le Roy, speaking to "EuroFora" :

 On the contrary, Le Roy found that possibility eventualy "practical", and even added, positively :

- "I' am currently working very Well with the Russians,     f.ex. on Helicopters, in South Sudan, as he revealed, smiling...

Sarkozy stimulated by Irish "No" challenge : - "It's a call to change and build Europe otherwise. Not later, but now. It won't be easy, but it's fascinating !"

-------------------

* Paris, Elysee, June 14, 2008.

Forthcoming EU Chairman, French President Nikolas Sarkozy, created a surprise by declaring that the challenge of the Irish "No" to the EU Treaty, stimulates his belief that we must immediately change the way Europe is built.

A difficult but fascinating task, that he intends to accomplish in the next 6 Months, during which he will analyse developments 3 times to EU Parliament in Strasbourg, on July, October and December 2008.

But Agenda obliged to give a first reply to Questions raised by the Irish Referendum, on the sidelines of a Press Conference with USA President GWBush, in Paris' Elysee palace, Saturday :

Sarkozy's reply was twofold :

First, the Franco-German position is that EU must make sure "that the Irish Incident does not become a Crisis". Ratification must continue, after 18 EU Member States, also to the rest, as UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown promised.

But, pointing at deeper causes, Sarkozy also criticized bureaucratic "sabotage" of Europe's "founding fathers" original dream. The move reminded his Historic February and July 2007 speaches in Strasbourg on Europe's future, joining criticism to a call for EU's Renaissance, which now became urgent :
