Addis Ababa, February 13,2003 (WIC)- The European Union hailed the Somalia
peace agreement signed in Nairobi 29 January 2004 describing it as a road to
a final phase and "a window of opportunity to be seized upon without
hesitation".

to the third and final phase of the conference.
The European Union also commended the efforts of Somali leaders in order to
attain this fundamental outcome by overcoming their differences.
