An accord between the EU
EunavforMed force, currently working on the Sophia
anti-migrant-smuggling mission in the Mediterranean, to train
the Libyan Navy and Coast Guard, was signed with Libyan military
authorities in Rome Tuesday. This is an extra task entrusted by
the EU Council to the Sophia mission on June 20, when the
mission's mandate was also extended. Hopes are high that the
recently increased activities of migrant smugglers on the Libyan
coats can be stemmed via the new accord.
