The EU is preparing an agreement with Tanzania for EUNAVFOR


(B2) The European Union could sign an agreement with Tanzania in the coming weeks to allow the delivery of suspects arrested by its anti-piracy coalition ships EUNAVFOR Atalanta. This agreement would be of the same type as the one made with Kenya a few days ago and would take the form of an exchange of letters. There Tanzania is located much further south than EUNAVFOR's current area of ​​action, which is rather between northern Kenya and Yemen. But, off the coast of Tanzania, fishermen cross paths, who can constitute prey for pirates who no longer hesitate to leave far from their bases and their "catchment area"ordinary, precisely to ensure less risky catches.
