The EU took a closer look at what is needed to disrupt the people-traffickers’ business model when two senior Libyan officials visited Brussels today.
The Libyans from the National Migration Team and the Coastguard discussed being given access to EU analytical data, while the Europeans in their turn sought to establish information channels to the interior and defence ministries in Tripoli.
Brussels appears to be concerned that it will be talking to the right people and that data it provides will remain secure. This February a leaked EU report claimed that the interior ministry was infiltrated “by militias and religiously-motivated stakeholders” and that the defence ministry had little or no control over the armed forces.
