As I pointed out in my answer to Question Noby the honourable Member, a final report on the implementation of programmes
centres, pilot projects and joint operations was presented at the Justice and Home Affairs Council of 5 and 6 June 2003 with a view to it being sent to the Thessaloniki European Council. The European Council has taken note of the results of the various operations described in the report.
As far as the Ulysses project is concerned, the Council was informed that it was to be implemented in two stages: the first stage, in the Mediterranean, took place between 25 January and February this year, and the second, which was to be implemented at the beginning of April, also this year, was temporarily suspended because of the war in Iraq. The second stage was finally implemented between 27 May and 2 June this year and consisted of the surveillance and monitoring of the territorial waters off the coasts of the Canary Islands in the Atlantic Ocean.
A number of Member States took part in both stages of the operation. Italy, France, the United Kingdom, Portugal and Spain played an active role in the first stage of the project, while Greece, Norway, the Netherlands, Germany and Poland participated as observers, together with Europol. The second stage saw the active participation of the United Kingdom, France and Spain. The added value of the Ulysses project lies in the fact that various human resources and pieces of equipment were pooled and deployed jointly in a number of practical tasks, and in the fact that information was exchanged using advanced technologies.
It was reported that, overall, 454 illegal migrants were caught and 15 swimmers intercepted as a result of the coordinated efforts of the air, land and sea forces."@en1
