The EU announced that the Libyan Coast Guard will receive additional patrol boats to improve the extent of its control over the waters of the country’s coast.
This came in a press briefing in Brussels by the European Commission spokeswoman, Anna Besonero, commenting on the sinking of a rubber boat off the Libyan coast, causing the death of dozens of people, according to the Italian News Agency AKI.
