EUNAVFOR MED – Director General EUMS visits the EUNAVFOR MED Operational Headquarters
On July 13th, Lt. Gen. Wolfgang WOSOLSOBE, Director General of the EU Military Staff, paid a visit to the EUNAVFOR MED OHQ in Rome.
Briefed on the overall aspects of the operation, Gen. WOSOLSOBE showed a deep interest in the most sensitive features of the mission.
After having visited the Joint Operational Centre (JOC) where he was informed about the Command and Control capabilities of the OHQ,
the Director General addressed the OHQ personnel with his personal thanks for the quality of the job performed in such time constraints,
stating that in his point of view EUNAVFOR MED is one of the most complex mission the EU has never run.
On 22 June the Council launched the EU naval operation against human smugglers and traffickers in the Mediterranean called “EUNAVFOR Med”.
Its mission is to identify, capture and dispose of vessels and enabling assets used or suspected of being used by migrant smugglers or traffickers.
