.- The German Foreign Minister, Guido Westerwelle, said today that Germany has majority support among the community partners in its cautious stance with regard to international military action in Libya. "Many countries, not only Germany, are very cautious about military intervention," the minister told reporters after the informal meeting of foreign ministers of the European Union (EU) in Gödöllö, near Budapest "We should not recklessly threaten military intervention, but seek for freedom, peace and democracy, not only Libya but throughout the region, "said Westerwelle, referring to the French proposal to initiate military action under certain conditions to support of rebellion.
"We must avoid measures that could cause the opposite, ie, less freedom and a war, and even a return to old autocratic systems or the arrival of religious fundamentalists," said the German minister. On the other hand, said that as part of the meeting today, Germany has proposed a "North-South pact" to support those countries in the region who have decided for democracy and freedom.
To do this, he said, the EU countries should also consider "a greater openness" of their own markets, and that democracy in these countries "should bear fruit for all families, not only theoretically but also concrete and practical way ". "We should encourage our companies to invest in these countries.
People went out not only for freedom, but to have more professional opportunities, jobs and fair living conditions," the German minister.
