The European Union welcomes the agreement addressing the dispute over the leadership of the Central Bank of Libya (CBL), under which the Libyan House of Representatives and the High Council of State established the mechanism, criteria and timeline for the appointment of a CBL Governor, Deputy Governor and Board of Directors. 

We commend the facilitation efforts undertaken by the UN Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) to reach this important milestone and exhort the signing parties to swiftly work towards the effective and full implementation of the agreement. 

The EU continues to strongly support the role of the UN and UNSMIL in working towards a peaceful, stable and secure Libya.
