In this spirit, Lebanon and the EU will draw the concrete benefits of their joint commitment to upgrade their political dialogue, working together to assess and promote the availability of such conditions bilaterally and in relevant international fora where the EU and Member States will reflect the particular situation of Lebanon and the necessity to take its vital interests into account, and express their grave concern of the hosting by Lebanon of over 1 million of refugees registered by UNHCR and its impact on host communities, security and stability of Lebanon and of the wider region.
Les deux parties doivent cependant garder à l'esprit la nécessité de mettre en place les conditions nécessaires pour le retour en toute sécurité des réfugiés en provenance de Syrie et des Syriens déplacés, y compris lors de la période de transition, conformément aux normes du droit humanitaire international et en tenant compte des intérêts du pays d'accueil.
