The EU still does not make a decision on Libya

Gödöllö (Hungary) - The European Union is looking today at a meeting of foreign ministers Gödöllö in Hungary, a joint action plan to address the crisis in Libya. "Neither option is particularly easy," said Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, told reporters en route to the meeting for a second day of the Ministers.

The lack of "options on the table" is creating the need for a lengthy debate, he said. Bild said that the idea of \u200b\u200bsanctions on the country's oil industry could have long term effects and unintended indicated that the EU is unlikely to lead a military intervention to impose an air exclusion zone to the forces of Mohamed al-Gaddafi.

"If there is more robust military action, the framework is likely to NATO", said since the Organization of the North Atlantic Treaty "and in fact the Americans who have the military capacity that would be needed in case of difficulties," said Bildt . However, German Foreign Minister, Guido Westerwelle, called for caution and said European leaders should do everything possible to avoid the impression of "a crusade against the people of Muslim faith." Europe needs support, even if not directly, the movement towards democracy in Africa, he said.

"We do not want fighting a war in North Africa," he said. "I do not think it's healthy for Europe to speak of other countries rather than to talk to those countries."
