Europe rejects Libyan maritime deal
The European Commission expressed its outright rejection of the Libyan House of Representatives’ ratification of the maritime memorandum of understanding signed between Libya and Turkey in 2019, considering that the agreement violates the sovereign rights of other states and conflicts with the Law of the Sea. It described the agreement as "null and void and without any effect." The EU emphasized that its position opposing this agreement has been consistent since 2019, alongside solidarity with Greece and Cyprus, and noted that it is not in accordance with international law. In contrast, the Libyan House of Representatives announced the unanimous approval of the agreement and the revocation of previous decisions opposed to it, marking a shift in its stance toward maritime understandings with Turkey.
