The European Union has welcomed an agreement reached by Libyan representatives on the reconstitution of the board of the High National Elections Commission and the country’s electoral framework, describing it as a step towards holding credible national elections.

The agreement was signed during a United Nations-facilitated “Small Convening” involving Libyan representatives.

The EU Delegation and diplomatic missions of EU member states in Libya said the agreement could help unify state institutions and create conditions for national elections.

The EU called on Libya’s House of Representatives and High Council of State to engage positively with the outcome and take steps to implement the agreement without delay.

It also urged Libyan institutions and political stakeholders to build on the agreement through compromise and use the opportunity to advance institutional unity and legitimacy.

The EU reaffirmed its support for the UN Support Mission in Libya and UN Special Representative and head of UNSMIL Hanna Tetteh in facilitating what it described as a Libyan-led and Libyan-owned political process.

The bloc said it would continue supporting Libya’s sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity.
