Swedish foreign minister calls for EU Middle East role
Vienna- Swedish Foreign Minister Jan Eliasson called in an Austrian interview on Friday for the EU to play a political as well as an economic role in the Middle East. The Middle East had great interest in the EU becoming a leading player. "The Middle East is a first class example to show that Europe has weight, and is the driving force for stability and peace."
Eliasson said the next steps must be stability, a ceasefire, and the stationing of the UN force. "Lebanon must regain its full sovereignty." But the most important point in the Middle East was a two-states solution. "It must not be that conflicts continue to be solved militarily. There must be a political process. As long as Palestine is not independent and Israel not secure, there will be no stability."
