"We have a plan and we'll find out whether the plan can be translated into Italian-German proposal, possibly in a joint document, which we will submit on Tuesday," he said.

He said the joint document that included a cease-fire, supervised the United Nations and the "fixed limit of humanity" to allow aid in, Frattini noted that Turkey had taken action to achieve it.

Italy will require strong commitment by the Arab League and African Union to engage in dialogue with the opposition Libya, he said. Arab countries will attend the meeting on Tuesday.
