Senior EU and the EU police agency, INTERPOL officials will Wednesday inaugurate the establishment of a real-time passport control capacity at Tripoli International Airport. The European Commission in a statement today noted that the EU and INTERPOL, in partnership with the Libyan authorities, are launching a key stage of a 2.2 million project funded by the EU for making improvements to Libyan border security and helping security sector reform. For the first time, the Libyan border control authorities will have the possibility to directly refer to INTERPOL databases and access the INTERPOL network to detect stolen and lost passports, and help identify wanted persons including suspected terrorists and international criminals. INTERPOL\'s Stolen and Lost Travel Document database contains approximately 36 million documents shared by 166 countries worldwide and is called upon more than 50 million times each month by law enforcement authorities around the world.
