08-06-2012
EU Foreign Affairs Chief, Catherine Ashton, today announced the deployment of an EU Election Assessment Team to Libya, following the invitation issued by the Libyan Electoral Commission to the European Union to observe the National General Congress elections.
“The Election Assessment Team will undertake a comprehensive assessment of the upcoming electoral process, a process full of challenges after so many decades of authoritarian regime,” said a statement issued by Ashton’s spokesperson.
The mission, led by Alexander Graf Lambsdorff, Member of the European Parliament, is composed of 21 experts who will be deployed gradually throughout the country, starting today, and will remain in Libya upon the completion of the whole electoral process.
“The forthcoming elections represent a crucial step in the ongoing transition. The EU will continue to support the Libyan people in this process and in realising the objective to establish a new Libya based on respect for democratic values, on stability and prosperity for all," concluded the statement.
