As other European partners and the European External Action Service have stated, our position on the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2019 between Turkey and the Libyan Government of National Accord remains unchanged. This memorandum violates the sovereign rights of the member states of the European Union, is not in accordance with the international law of the sea and cannot have legal consequences for third states. The European Council of December 2019 expressed itself clearly on this issue.”
