The program was started only six months, so the release of secret files would show the effectiveness of the operation.
The report, dated back to January 29, 2016, was written by Rear Admiral Enrico Credendino, the commander of the Operation SOPHIA, for the EU's Military Committee and the EU's Political and Security Committee.

The report is said to have refugee flow statistics and tell about details of past and future operations.
According to WikiLeaks, the report also presses EU bodies to work on speeding up the process of forming a EU-friendly "reliable" government in Libya, which in turn would "invite" EU forces to not only to operate within Libyan territorial waters but also allow EU military forces to operate onshore.
Last October the UN Security Council adopted a resolution approving an EU naval mission to intercept and seize migrant trafficker vessels in the Mediterranean Sea.
Resolution 2240 authorized several European warships to board, search and seize vessels suspected of trafficking migrants in international waters from Libya to Europe.
The European Union is struggling to manage a massive refugee crisis, with hundreds of thousands of people fleeing conflict-torn countries in the Middle East and North Africa for Europe.
Comment: Across the board the EU's response to the refugee crisis has been a horrifying mess. There's been the destruction of the Schengen zone, the closing of borders, the herding of refugees into camps, an hysterical political reaction, and a distinct refusal to admit what has caused the crisis - NATO's illegal wars. Focusing on smuggling routes won't solve the problem, especially when these idiots are working towards another invasion of Libya, causing even more mayhem.
