    "We have dreamed a great deal and now the dream has become a reality," Sarkozy said, sitting side by side with Mubarak on 13 July 2008. In the meantime, though, that reality has turned into a nightmare. What is to be done about Egypt's co-presidency.

    The issue is on the agenda, European Foreign Policy High Representative Catherine Ashton said it will be discussed at a future council meeting.
    And it is something of a hot potato, given that Europe is having a hard time expressing itself with a single voice over the battle of the Pyramids.

    Minister Frattini has a plan: "We must attempt to use the tools that we already have," he told La Stampa. First of all, the minister intends to put his money on the "5+5" group (Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Mauritania, Portugal, Spain, France, Italy and Malta), of which Rome currently holds the duty presidency and which Frattini would like to expand into a "6+6" group to include also Greece and Egypt.

    There is a high-level foreign affairs meeting scheduled to be held in Naples in April and the Farnesina [Italian Foreign Ministry] incumbent is now thinking in terms of a leadership summit.
