Brussels, 03/10/2001 (Agence Europe) - French Prime Minister Lionel Jospin announced on Wednesday that France had, on Tuesday, handed to Belgian Foreign Minister Louis Michel and Javier Solana, a six-point "Afghanistan action plan" which should be discussed by the Fifteen at the meeting of foreign ministers on Monday 8 October. This plan has as goal to manage the transition stage following the departure, supposedly taken for granted, of the Taliban. The proposals range from emergency humanitarian aid for refugees and displaced persons to co-ordinating international efforts to rebuild a country ravaged by twenty-five years of conflict. France proposes the creation of a "permanent framework of dialogue" between the EU, United States, Afghanistan's neighbours, UN agencies and NGOs. It would be a sort of contact group like that one that operated a few years for former Yugoslavia.
