发帖数: 61690 | 1 BRUSSELS: European Union (EU) member states approved plans on Friday (Jun 19
) to launch as early as next week the first phase of a military operation
against people smugglers in the Mediterranean, sources said.
"Everything is now in place so that EU foreign ministers meeting Monday can
approve the launch of the mission," one EU diplomat told AFP. Other sources
said member states have committed to supply enough ships and aircraft to
allow the first, intelligence-gathering, phase of the operation to go ahead.

Stung into action by the loss of an estimated 800 migrants when their
rickety boat sank off southern Italy, EU leaders agreed at an emergency
summit in April to formulate a comprehensive plan to tackle the problem at
source. As well as boosting search and rescue efforts, they called on EU
foreign affairs head Federica Mogherini to draw up military options against
the ruthless traffickers exploiting the waves of humanity seeking to get to
Europe across the Mediterranean.
The first phase of intelligence gathering is meant to be followed by active
intervention to board and disable smuggler vessels and arrest the
traffickers. A third phase would extend these actions into Libyan
territorial waters and possibly inside the country itself. | f*****r
