Following the success of the previous edition, held in Rome, Italy, on 23-24 January 2019, EUNAVFOR MED Operation Sophia is organising the 8th edition of the Shared Awareness and De-confliction in the Mediterranean Sea (SHADE MED) Forum on 25-26 September in Francesco Baracca Airbase in Rome. This year’s topic is “Working towards a safe and secure environment in the Central Mediterranean”.
The SHADE MED forum brings together representatives from nations and organisations with an interest in illicit activities and maritime security in the Central Mediterranean. The purpose is to meet and share situational awareness and asses the evolution, trends and best practices in the region.
EUNAVFOR MED operation Sophia (ENFM) is a Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) operation, focused on disrupting the business model of migrant smugglers and human traffickers, and contributing to EU efforts for the return of stability and security in Libya and the Central Mediterranean region. ENFM is the first EU maritime force providing maritime security in the Central Mediterranean and works closely with different national, international, governmental and non-governmental, civilian and military organizations. Initially launched in 2015, ENFM is part of the EU’s comprehensive approach to migration.
