Solution

The correct option is A

EU NAVFOR MED


Ans:20)(a) To stop human traffickers from bringing migrants across the Mediterranean to Europe, the European Union (EU) launched a three-phase naval operation named EU NAVFOR Med (European Union Naval Force Mediterranean Sea).
Phase– 1 involves Information gathering on whereabouts of traffickers, patrolling of high seas and monitoring of smuggle networks. It will see participation of about 10 countries which include among others Italy, France, Germany, the UK, Spain, Lithuania and probably also Finland.
Phase–2: Active intervention to board and disable smuggler vessels and arrest the traffickers
Phase–3: Extend the actions into Libyan territorial waters and possibly inside the country itself
the operation will not target the migrants but it will target those who are making money on their lives and too often on their deaths. It also wants to dismantle the business model of the traffickers by destroying their boats.
