Update: 12.00 am The European Union meets today to discuss Fiji's situation amidst concerns over the re-invocation of the Public Emergency Regulations.
"This re-invocation, and the measures associated with it, appear to be in contravention of Commitment no. 2 under Section 3 of the list of commitments the Interim Government made to the European Union in Brussels on 18 April, as part of the consultations under Article 96 of the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement," an official EU statement read.
"In the European Union's assessment, it is not apparent which threats to national security, public order and safety exist to justify such a drastic measure as bringing back the Public Emergency Regulations.
"The Council of the European Union meets in Brussels today, Friday 7 September.
"The political situation in Fiji will be on the agenda."
The EU had set the lifting of the decree early this year as a positive sign to Fiji returning to democracy.
