EU seeks consultations

    ABIDJAN

    The European Union said on Tuesday that it would seek consultations with the military government on its plans to set a date for democratic elections. An EU spokesman in Abidjan told IRIN on Thursday that existing aid to Cote d’Ivoire was continuing but decisions on any new projects would be made after elections.

    However, speaking at an African economic summit in Libreville on Monday, IMF Director General Michel Camdessus said Cote d’Ivoire would first have to “put its house in order” and reestablish democracy for a resumption of international financial aid.
