The Council of the European Union's Mashreq/Maghreb Working Party is scheduled to meet on 22 June 2026 at 11:30 in the Justus Lipsius Building in Brussels, with Libya as the main agenda item. The meeting, convened by the General Secretariat of the Council, will also include a session for any other business (AOB). The provisional agenda, published in document CM 3386/1/26 REV 1 dated 22 June 2026, lists Libya as the sole substantive item for discussion.
The Mashreq/Maghreb Working Party is a Council preparatory body that deals with EU relations with countries in the Mashreq (eastern Arab world) and Maghreb (northwest Africa) regions. The meeting provides an opportunity for EU member state representatives to exchange views and coordinate positions on developments in Libya, which has been a focus of EU foreign policy due to its political instability and migration implications. No prior coverage of this specific meeting or related discussions has been published in the last 180 days.
The meeting's outcome may inform future Council decisions or statements on Libya, though no specific proposals or decisions are expected from this preparatory session. The contact for the meeting is the Mediterranean and Middle East unit of the Council's General Secretariat.
