EFE: The Spanish minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Miguel Ángel Moratinos, on Monday announced in Luxembourg that the European Union would not approve any conclusions on Cuba, to give time for the dialogue between the Catholic Church and the Cuban authorities to bring fruit.
Moratinos, who presides the current E.U. session, said the 27 foreign ministers in the organization unanimously agreed not to approve any conclusions on Monday, during the annual review of its relations with Cuba, and said he had accepted a mandate from his partners in the European community to continue a dialogue with Havana, with a view to making a new appraisal in September and possibly lifting the E.U's "common position" toward the island.
