The EU acted quickly in the aftermath of the drowning of more than 1,000 migrants in a particularly horrific episode in April, tripling the budget of its much-maligned naval surveillance operations and expanding their operational area to match Italy’s discontinued Mare Nostrum operation. This move has already borne fruit, with record numbers of rescues late last month.
遗憾的是，迄今为止救援工作并不连贯。欧盟在四月1，000多名移民溺水的恐怖事件发生后迅速行动，将其饱受指责的海上监视行动预算扩大3倍，恢复了意大利已经中止的地中海行动的救援范围。此举已经取得成果，上月底的救援数字刷新了记录。
