European Union High Representative
for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell said after
a foreign affairs council Monday that the council had greenlit a
new mission proposed by Italy, France and Germany to protect Red
Sea shipping from attacks by Yemen's Iranian-backed Houthi
rebels.
"We have agreed, in principle, to start the EU mission in the
Red Sea," he said.
"Now we have to work on unanimity as to when (it will start),"
he added.
