20. 除培训外，对利比亚海岸警卫队和海军进行监测仍然是欧盟海军地中海索菲亚行动能力建设方案的一个关键要素。监测机制继续依靠利比亚海岸警卫队和海军作战室每天提供的信息进行运作。作为索菲亚行动常备任务的一部分，尽可能地监测和报告了利比亚海岸警卫队和海军的救援行动。2019 年 9 月 1 日至 2020年 2 月 29 日，监测了利比亚海岸警卫队和海军进行的 75%的拦截行动(69 次行动中的 52 次)，至少在部分监测中使用了行动的空中资产。索菲亚行动称，利比亚海岸警卫队及海军舰艇和人员在事件监测过程中的表现和行为一贯是专业的，同时，也报告了不安全拦截和登岸的情况。行动注意到，通过监测获得的信息用于查找培训差距，并为今后的培训课程提供信息。在 2019 年 9 月地中海共享情报避免互扰机制会议上，也讨论了培训需求。虽然行动原本打算通过在岸上部署人员来加强监督，但因利比亚安全局势动荡，没有开展这项工作。
20. In addition to training, monitoring of the Libyan coastguard and navy remains a key element of the capacity-building programme of EUNAVFOR MED operation SOPHIA. The monitoring mechanism continued to rely on daily information provided by the Libyan coastguard and navy operations room, remote monitoring by the operation’s air assets and periodic meetings between the operation and representatives of the Libyan coastguard and navy. As part of the operation’s standing tasking for its air assets, rescue operations by the Libyan coastguard and navy are monitored and reported on whenever possible. From 1 September 2019 to 29 February 2020, 75 per cent of the interceptions (52 of the 69 operations) conducted by the Libyan coastguard and navy were monitored, at least partially, by the operation’s air assets. According to the operation, the performance and behaviour of the Libyan coastguard and navy vessels and personnel during the monitored events had consistently been professional, while others reported instances of unsafe interception and disembarkation. The operation noted that the information obtained through its monitoring was used to identify training gaps and inform future training courses. It further noted that training needs had also been discussed at the Shared Awareness and Deconfliction in the Mediterranean (SHADE MED) conference in September 2019. While the operation had intended to enhance monitoring by deploying personnel ashore, this has not been possible to date owing to the volatile security situation in Libya.
