The European Union's foreign ministers are meeting to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East. Britain's foreign secretary, William Hague, says there is "a real prospect" the 27 members could agree on sanctions on the sale of Syrian oil into the EU. The ministers are also expected to discuss prospects of taking a unified position on Palestinian statehood during a vote at the United Nations later this month and examine the current situation in Libya. The two-day meeting is taking place in Sopot, a Baltic sea resort in Poland, which currently holds the EU presidency, according to reports of international news agencies.
