Brussels - A controversial "invitation" to the Libyan leader, Col Muammar Gadafy, to make an official visit to the European Commission President, Mr Romano Prodi, in Brussels has been put on ice, a Commission spokesman said yesterday, Patrick Smyth reports.
A visit to Brussels is now being described by all as "premature", although the Libyans insist that they wish to improve relations. EU member-states recently lifted sanctions against Libya and restored diplomatic ties broken off after the Lockerbie bombing.
