In these days, the EU Council has extended the mandate for other two years – says Rear Admiral Fabio Agostini, IRINI’s Operation Commander – This is a recognition of our job and the confirmation of the will of EU Member States to fulfil the commitments they took at the Berlin Conference on Libya, in January last year.”

Rear Admiral Frumento was born in Savona (Italy). He is part of the prestigious group of Italian Navy Seals COMSUBIN, which he had the privilege to command.
