NNA - The Delegation of the European Union issues the following statement together with the Embassies of the EU Member States to Lebanon, present in Beirut:
nbsp;
ldquo;On the occasion of Lebanonrsquo;s 80th Independence Day anniversary, we express our friendship and support to Lebanon and the Lebanese people.
nbsp;
Lebanonrsquo;s Independence Day is taking place this year within a difficult regional context. The European Union urges all actors to show utmost restraint to avoid any further escalation.
nbsp;
In this period of uncertainty, we encourage Lebanese decision-makers to set aside their differences and take long overdue decisions. This includes electing a President, forming a fully-functioning Government, and implementing necessary macroeconomic and financial reforms.
nbsp;
More than ever, decisive leadership is needed. The EU firmly stands by Lebanon and its citizens in their aspirations for a brighter future. The time to act is now.rdquo; --- EU MEDIA OFFICE
