EU prepares for evacuation of Europeans from Libya
None
EU foreign ministers said on Monday they will prepare for the possible evacuation of European citizens from Libya, and sharply condemned the government's crackdown against pro-democracy protesters.
The EU does not have the power to order its member states to evacuate their citizens from a foreign country, but ministers can agree on coordinated action in such cases. "We are very worried about the situation in Libya," Spain's Foreign Minister Trinidad Jimenez said. "At the same time we are coordinating the possible evacuation of EU citizens from Libya, especially from Benghazi." (AP)
