Visit by Antonio TAJANI, EP President, to Libya: meeting with Khaled Al-MISHRI, Chairman of the Libyan High Council of State and NGO's representatives

SOUNDBITE (Italian), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, I have the impression that, from the visits we did in the city, life is going regularly. I did not come here for talking only about migrations, because migrations are the consequence of problems, not the cause of them. We well know that people coming in Europe are not Libyans, but people passing through the Libya.

SOUNDBITE (Italian), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, It is important to reinforce the Libya&rsquo;s southern border.

EP President Antonio Tajani and High State Council of Libya Khaled Al-MISHRI, arrivals in the meeting room.

SOUNDBITE (Libyan),Khaled Al-MISHRI, High State Council of Libya, I welcome the President of the European Parliament and the delegation. It is extremely important for us to clarify and try to solve some important questions such as the terrorism subject and the illegal migrations.

SOUNDBITE (Italian), Antonio TAJANI, EP President, Libya is a key country for the Mediterranean Sea&rsquo;s stability. So the priority is the relations between us. That is why for it is important the economic growth of Libya. The migrations&rsquo; subject is only one of problems that we have to fight. Our collaboration is also technological because the elections in your country can develop better.
