Who will represent the European Union at the Paris conference

(BRUSSELS2) While Paris is going to host an international donor conference on Libya on September 1 - a meeting which French President Nicolas Sarkozy hopes to culminate in a major commitment by France alongside the Libyan opposition - we still do not know on the European side who will attend this conference. " We are not sure that the invitations have been sent a spokesperson told me. Uncertainty which badly hides a certain embarrassment to know who should go to this meeting. Is it President Van Rompuy, the President of the European Commission, J.-M. Barroso? This is its role, the Commission spokesperson told us. After the military intervention, the European Commission will have a key role in terms of reconstruction and expertise. » But Lady Ashton could also be part of it or at least be represented. And his spokesperson confirmed: She was at the first meeting of the contact group (in Paris then in London) or was represented there ». In fact, we should be fixed at the beginning of the week... when everyone is back.
