EU-Iraq
European Union Foreign Ministers Monday said they encourage the swift formation of the Iraqi transitional government as an important further step in the process of Iraq's political transition.
The ministers meeting in Luxembourg said they are ready to work with the transitional National Assembly and the Iraqi transitional government.
They congratulated Jalal Talabani on his inauguration as President of Iraq and Hajim al-Hassani on his election as President of the transitional National Assembly.
The ministers reaffirmed the EU's willingness to continue implementation of the full assistance program it presented to Iraq on 5 November 2004 in order "to achieve the objective of a safe, stable, unified, prosperous and democratic Iraq that upholds human rights, fully exercises its sovereignty and cooperates constructively with its neighbours and with the international community."
