We deeply regret the ratification today by the Libyan Parliament of the so-called Libyan-Türkiye Memorandum of Understanding on the delimitation of maritime jurisdictions in the Mediterranean Sea. We recall that the EU’s position on this matter was clearly stated by the European Council in 2019 and remains unchanged. This agreement infringes upon the sovereign rights of third states, it does not comply with the Law of the Sea, and is null and void. We reaffirm our solidarity with Greece and Cyprus. We reiterate the EU's well known position against any outside interference in Libya.

Good meeting with @Christodulides in the margins of the MED9. We discussed the Cyprus settlement process. And we talked about the next steps on Cyprus’ path into Schengen. Our exchange also focused on next week’s crucial EUCO, where we will discuss lowering energy prices and the cost of living.

Delighted to meet María Ángela Holguín. I welcome her active engagement, alongside @antonioguterres, to resolve the Cyprus issue within the @UN framework and in line with EU principles, values and legislation. @EU_Commission will support this effort with all the assistance and tools at our disposal. Our newly designated Special Representative for Cyprus, @RaffaeleFitto, is engaging with all key stakeholders.
