New EU mission to develop Horn of Africa coast guard

European Union defence experts are looking at proposals for an ESDP mission to offer support to the coast guards of nations around the Horn of Africa region in an effort to strengthen the battle against Somali pirates.

Meanwhile it has transpired that Spain is pushing for port surveillance to fight Somalia piracy. Stepping up action to monitor ports from which pirates are known to operate and intercepting pirate mother ships are two key defence priorities for Spain during its Presidency of the EU, from January to June 2010.
