Yesterday, Monday, January 31, met as planned the 27 Foreign Ministers Council meeting General Affairs and External Relations.
Following that meeting was the first time we hear the High Representative-out loud-make a statement and provide a position on the riots that are taking place in Tunisia and Egypt.
Among the specific measures agreed highlights the agreement to freeze the assets a list of more than 40 people close to the regime of Ben Ali. I advise
delighted that you see the video of the press conference:
Ashton, true to previous press conferences, review of a down-in less than 5 minutes, all matters have been on the table the Union's external relations in the last month. After much criticism, after all the nuances that have provided other countries like the U.S. ... 5 minutes (a minute per topic.)
reading The only 'positive' treatment is similar to the findings Ashton refers to Egypt and Tunisia (you can read quietly here for a and to the other ) with Belarus. So the difference is and becomes so palpable a contradiction between the different strategies, although it is similar schemes that do not know if I should make the Union more than two press conferences, if only a minute each ...
PS: tomorrow, Wednesday the 'new' foreign minister of Tunisia Ashton will meet in Brussels. We will have to be careful to see what the next steps which gives the Union in the Mediterranean country.
Hugs,
