EU Leaders to Hold Emergency Summit

BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) — The European Union leaders will meet in an emergency summit Friday to discuss anti-terrorist measures and show solidarity with the United States after the attacks on its soil.

Belgium, which holds the presidency of the 15-member European Union, proposed the meeting Monday, and the EU nations quickly rallied behind the idea.

``We have to make sure we get a total mobilization against terrorism,'' Belgian Foreign Minister Louis Michel said. He said the summit will ``see how we can send a united response.''

The idea of an EU summit was first raised by German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder after the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

EU foreign ministers held an emergency session three days after the terrorist strikes to show support for the United States. So far, Canada and the European allies in NATO have pledged to support military retaliation by the United States against terrorist sites.

Michel also praised the U.S. restraint in the first days after the attacks.

He said that he expects Washington to listen to the ideas of the Europeans. ``Our complete backing also means they will have to take our feelings and opinions into account,'' Michel said.

He added the leaders at the summit could also look at the EU's Middle East policy and come up with new ideas to contain the Israeli-Palestinian fighting.

``We have to put more effort in trying to solve lingering problems which are a source of terrorism,'' he said.

``It might be a good moment to try to make a diplomatic move in the Middle East. Maybe we can use this moment to push through an initiative,'' he said.
