The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, has welcomed the renewal of the UN Security Council resolution on the UN arms embargo on Libya by extending the mandate of the European Operation IRINI.

“This reflects the recognition of Operation IRINI’s contribution to restoring peace and stability in Libya”, Borrell tweeted, adding that the EU is the only international actor inspecting suspect vessels to prevent arms flows to the country.
