Eta calls for fresh peace moves (BBC) {Basque/Euskadi separatists}

The Basque separatist group Eta has urged the governments of Spain and France to respond positively to its declaration of a permanent ceasefire.
***
European Union foreign policy chief Javier Solana said he was cautious but acknowledged Eta's announcement was good for Spaniards and Europeans.
***
Eta is blamed for killing more than 800 people in its four-decade fight for independence for the Basque region of northern Spain and south-west France.
***
Eta's new statement was published in the Basque daily newspaper Gara.
