“The EU is building up a team of heavily-guarded men to help Libya stop unwanted migrants and to collect intelligence,” reveals news website EUobserver days after at least 34 migrants drowned after reportedly setting sail to Europe from Libya.
The EU foreign service underlined that the €30m-a-year-operation, which began in April and is named Eubam Libya, does not involve EU officials conducting patrols or searches. It is expected to have a total of 111 staff when fully operational next year.
