EU discusses border security in Libya

Brussels – Two European officials are in Tripoli to urge Libya to help stem the flow of illegal migrants from Africa.

Stefan Fuele and Cecilia Malmstrom – the EU neighbourhood policy and home affairs commissioners, respectively – also will discuss trade, energy, environment and visa issues during their two-day meeting that began on Monday.

EU spokesperson Michele Cercone said the EU wants Libya to do more to stop the flow of illegal aliens into Europe.

Last month, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi asked the EU for €5bn to boost Libyan border controls. The EU rejected that request, but indicated it is ready to provide some funds for better border monitoring.
