為阻止人蛇集團非法偷渡難民進歐洲，歐盟戰艦即將在地中海展開巡邏。
歐盟全面調查人蛇集團從利比亞進入義大利和馬爾他的偷渡路線，截至今年為止，已有130,000人偷渡進入歐洲，其中2,700人死亡。
歐盟展開緝捕人蛇的「索菲亞行動」（Operation Sophia），出動六艘戰艦：包括一艘義大利、一艘法國、一艘英國、一艘西班牙、兩艘德國戰艦。
十月底，預計將有另三艘來自英國、比利時和斯洛維尼亞的戰艦、四架飛機、和1,318名軍力抵達利比亞海岸。
「索菲亞行動」的船艦將於週三，展開緝捕人蛇的行動。
「索菲亞行動」的軍人和船員，將對涉嫌販運人口的船隻，展開登船、搜索、查扣、引導轉向等行動。
若遭人蛇攻擊，船隊可以開火反擊。
歐盟船艦已獲許可，在公海上追逐人蛇嫌犯，但目前尚不得進入利比亞海域。
聯合國希望最終能在利比亞海域行動，但必須獲得聯合國安理會，或利比亞本國的許可。
英文原文：
European warships will soon be patrolling the Mediterranean to stop refugees from being illegally transported to Europe.
The EU has been surveying smuggling routes from Libya to Italy and Malta, which so far have led 130,000 migrants to Europe and 2,700 to their deaths this year.
Operation Sophia, set up to catch smugglers, has six vessels: one Italian, one French, one British, one Spanish, and two German ships.
Three other vessels from the UK, Belgium and Slovenia, four aircraft, and 1,318 personnel are expected to arrive near the coast of Libya at the end of October.
Ships under Operation Sophia will begin operations to catch illegal traffickers on Wednesday.
Operation Sophia personnel include sailors who will be able to board, search, seize and divert vessels suspected of being used for smuggling migrants. In the event of an attack by traffickers, a crew can respond by opening fire.
Ships are allowed to pursue suspected smugglers in international seas, but can not follow them into Libyan waters for now.
The EU hopes to eventually be able to operate within Libyan waters but must obtain approval from the UN Security Council or Libya itself.
