SOUNDBITE (English), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, We want to strengthen unity, stability and growth for this very important country. If we want to achieve good solutions against illegal migration we need to strengthen Libya, of course we need to strengthen the border in the south of Libya, also the Coast Guard in the north of Libya.

SOUNDBITE (English), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, We need to have a black list, for a good cooperation between European police and African police, against this people because they are working also with weapons and drug. They are in large part members of terroristic organizations.

SOUNDBITE (English), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, It is a very important day for the debate on the future of Libya and (to be here) with all the members of the Libyan authorities. We need to send a message to this country from Brussels for the unity, for the stability before the elections in this country.
