Sri Lanka's EU Ambassador Rodney Perera is to travel to Strasbourg on Monday to attend the EU parliament's plenary session and to mobilise two key committees, foreign affairs and security and defence.
Sri Lanka will contest the decision by a European Union Court to delist the LTTE as a terrorist organisation and will send an envoy to Strasbourg to lobby the EU against the order.
Sri Lanka's EU Ambassador Rodney Perera is to travel to Strasbourg on Monday to attend the EU parliament's plenary session and to mobilise two key committees, foreign affairs and security and defence.
He will also lobby the European Council to challenge the Court's ruling.Last Thursday, the Court of Justice of the European Union ruled that the LTTE would no longer be kept on the Council's designated terrorist list.
It was however based on a fundamental procedural ground.The said annulment would be maintained temporarily for a period of three months where a reassessment would be made.
Sri Lankan government would be able to appeal against the decision within two months.The EU ban of the LTTE came in 2006.
Apart from the EU, the LTTE is proscribed as a terrorist organisation in the USA, India, Canada, the UK and Sri Lanka.
The LTTE was engaged in an "armed conflict" with the Sri Lankan government forces for nearly-three decades, but were defeated in 2009 following the death of its chief Velupillai Prabhakaran.

David Cameron's influence as Prime Minister would be "zero" if Britain left the European Union, the outgoing president of the European Commission has claimed.
Jose Manuel Barroso said Britain's departure from the EU would be "negative" for all parties, as he urged the UK to engage in "constructive dialogue" on the issue.
Mr Cameron, who has promised to give the British people an in-out referendum on the EU if the Conservatives win the next election, last week vowed to have "one last go" at negotiating.
"What would be the influence of the Prime Minister of Britain if he was not part of the European Union? His influence would be zero," Mr Barroso told BBC's Andrew Marr Show.
"He [David Cameron] knows well that without the EU, Britain will have less influence," he said.
The Prime Minister claimed action was needed to give the UK more "effective control of migration".
But Barroso hinted that the fundamental principle of free movement of people within the EU was non-negotiable, and disputed claims Britain had a problem with immigration.
Any caps on migration from the EU would be in breach of European laws, Barroso added.
He also criticised Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond for saying Britain was "lighting a fire under the European Union" by holding a referendum.
