A European Commission official welcomed on Thursday the agreement reached between the Lebanese political parties to stop violence.
"I welcome the agreement reached among various Lebanese political parties under the auspices of the Emir of Qatar Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani and the Secretary General of the Arab League Amr Mousa," said Commissioner for External Relations and European Neighborhood Policy Benita Ferrero-Waldner.
She said the result "is able to give Lebanon a way to turn a new page in its history," adding that this reconciliation would now move to Lebanon to the rule of law.
Lebanon's ruling coalition and the Hezbollah-led opposition agreed on Wednesday in Doha, the capital city of Qatar, to end the political conflict that has pushed the country to the brink of a civil war.
The agreement calls for electing a president immediately, forming a government based on a 16-11-3 formula (16 for the majority, 11 for the opposition and 3 to be chosen by the president) and adopting 1960 electoral law.
