§ The Prime MinisterMr. Prodi has spoken to Colonel Gaddafi on the telephone about a possible visit, but has made it clear that the next step in the development of EU/Libya relations is for Libya to accept the Barcelona acquis without conditions. The United Kingdom has made the same point in discussion of this matter with Libya and EU Partners. The question of high level visits to Brussels could only then be considered.
