An EU statement on Monday said there will now be a legal basis to block the supply of dinghies and outboard motors to Libya if there are "reasonable grounds" to suspect they will be used by human traffickers. The legal trade of goods will not be affected by this measure, and the EU Border Assistance Mission in Libya (EUBAM) will continue until the end of next year. The mission’s aim is to help the Libyan government control its coast, where refugees embark for Europe across the Mediterranean.
