In his statements, the Italian Chief of Defense Staff, Admiral Giuseppe Caffo Dragone, praised this change, describing it as a “strong message of confidence” from the European Union towards Italy and its maritime role in the Mediterranean region.

Operation “IRINI” comes within the European Union’s efforts to ensure stability in Libya. Over the past years, the operation has examined thousands of ships and monitored 1,480 suspicious flights, in addition to inspecting 25 airports, 16 ports, and oil stations.

In late May, the European Union issued a decision to extend measures related to enforcing the arms embargo imposed on Libya for another year.

This resolution allows member states to conduct inspections of ships suspected of violating United Nations resolutions in international waters near the Libyan coast.
