He delivered the quote in English at a meeting of EU Foreign Ministers. The above video is a similar quote in Italian on the way into the meeting.
The possibilities here are that Italy gets its Libyan analysis from Saif al-Islam Gaddafi and/or that the minister is an extremely gullible and excitable person.
But he's the person in the room making the decisions. Seen in this light, Ireland's mess -- or at least the component of it due to EU decisions -- becomes easier to understand.
