Foreign ministers from Nato countries are meeting in Berlin, amid differences among members over the air campaign to protect civilians in Libya.
The UK and France have been pushing for other countries to increase military pressure on Col Muammar Gaddafi.
Air strikes led by the US, France and Britain began last month. Nato has since taken leadership of the mission.
Several key member countries, including Spain and Italy, have not taken part in attacks on ground targets.
Tasks in Nato's Libya mission include policing the arms embargo with ships and enforcing the UN-backed no-fly zone.
The UK and France want more countries involved in the most aggressive role, that of attacking targets on the ground.
Only six out of Nato's 28 members - France, the UK, Canada, Belgium, Norway, Denmark - are conducting air strikes.
