Following agreement reached by Israelis and Palestinians on the Gaza border crossing, European Commissioner for External Relations and Neighbourhood Policy, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, has said:<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

"I welcome the significant breakthrough reached this morning in Jerusalem and congratulate in particular the Quartet Special Envoy, James Wolfensohn, on his unstinting efforts. This opens the way to much needed greater mobility for Palestinians and with EU presence they will now be able to manage the border between Gaza and Egypt. <\/i><\/p><\/div>\n

A €40 million infrastructure facility was launched during my visit to the region last week.

The EU stands ready to further support the agreement reached today with a range of measures, which respond to requests from the Israelis and the Palestinians."<\/i><\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
