(ANSAmed) - BRUSSELS, APRIL 26 - ''I don't speculate'' on a
possible military intervention in Syria, said the president of
the European Commission, Jose' Manuel Barroso, in answer to
press questions regarding the possibility of a failure of Kofi
Annan's mediation.
''The European Union,'' Barroso said, ''focuses on unreserved
support to UN and Arab League representative Kofi Annan. This
view has been approved by the EU foreign ministers and therefore
let's avoid speculations.''
After his meeting with Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikabi,
Barroso underlined that ending the violence and access to
humanitarian aid are still the priorities in Syria. ''We will
continue to work together with the Arab League,'' Barroso added,
''to find a solution for the problem, not only of Syria but the
entire region." Syria ''is a sensitive question for Lebanon, so
we appreciate the fact that the country welcomes the people who
are fleeing'' from Syria. The European Commission is prepared
''to step up its humanitarian support to the region." (ANSA)
