EU to test new naval coordination in Africa
By EUobserver
EU defence ministers have discussed how navies can better cooperate by sharing information and analysis when deployed to the same area but not as part of a single operation. A pilot project will take place targeting piracy in the Gulf of Guinea area in Africa, EU foreign relations chief Federica Mogherini said after the talks in Helsinki Thursday. The same methods could be applied in the Persian Gulf in future.
