Agreement on the releas of Bulgarian nurses
and Palestinian doctor
The plane of the French Republic has just taken off
from Libya to Sofia with Ms Cécilia SARKOZY, Ms Benita
FERRERO-WALDNER, Mr Claude GUEANT, the Bulgarian nurses and the Palestinian
doctor. The President of the French
Republic, Mr Nicolas SARKOZY, and the President of the European Commission, Mr
José Manuel BARROSO, welcome the agreement which has finally allowed this
release and this return to Bulgaria of the nurses detained for more than eight
years, as well as of the Palestinian doctor, and the implementation of an
improved framework to ensure the care dispensed to the children victim of aids
in Libya. The President of the French
Republic and the President of the European Commission salute the humanitarian
gesture of Libya and of its highest leader and commit themselves to do
everything to help the children attained of
aids. They express their profound
gratitude to the Emir and the State of Qatar whose mediation has allowed for
this happy solution. This solution
would not have been possible without the efforts and the determination of the
European Commission, in particular the member of the Commission in charge of
external relations, Ms Benita FERRERO-WALDNER, throughout the whole process, and
without the personal commitment of Ms Cécilia SARKOZY./.
