The commission said it remains committed to working with all 125 states that are parties to the Rome Statute. It said the aim is to preserve and respect the court's independence so it can continue its mission.

The EU also said it stands ready to take any necessary measures to enable the court to carry out its work. That includes investigating and prosecuting war crimes and crimes against humanity.

It added that any steps would also seek to protect the interests of EU operators within the Single Market.
