*NO CUTAWAYS AT SOURCE*
SOT, Heiko Maas, German Foreign Minister (German): "Our first duty now is to turn this ceasefire we have into a permanent truce. This must take place in this already-mentioned 5+5 format, which is being discussed in the United Nations in Geneva. We strongly hope that the negotiations will start this week."
SOT, Heiko Maas, German Foreign Minister (German): "At this point there is a discussion going on about having the second step before the first one. Before we think about necessary precautions to secure the truce, we first need a truce that we can secure and control."
SOT, Heiko Maas, German Foreign Minister (German): "There will be a wide-scale discussion about what the European Union can do and what is suitable. But before that the requirements in Libya must be fulfilled."
SOT, Jean-Yves Le Drian, French Foreign Minister (French): "This morning the foreign ministers emphasized their willingness to support the arrangement agreed yesterday in Berlin, especially helping so that the truce and the ceasefire, hopefully, may take place - and also helping with the oversight of the embargo and to do so, the representative has been appointed to bring concrete solutions as quickly as possible."
SOT, Jean-Yves Le Drian, French Foreign Minister (French): "Around noon the European-led maritime surveillance mission in the Gulf was announced. It's also a new action which shows Europe is back, in a way, in the various crises around the world which are dangerous and that make the world unstable. Europe has not just made her voice heard, but showed that it has the means of action, and for me this morning was a great satisfaction."
