    Rear Admiral (Ret'd) Massimo Annati, Former Head of the International Matters at the Naval Armaments Directorate, Italian Navy, Chairman of the Border Security 2016 conference, commented:

    "It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in 9th annual Border Security conference. With the continuing instability in North Africa and the Middle East there is a greater focus on Europe's external borders, particularly in the Italy, Spain, Greece and surrounding Mediterranean countries. With this in mind, Rome is the most appropriate location for this critical forum and the event will take place with the support of the Italian Navy. The continuing human tragedies at sea and pressures on European borders mean this conference is of the essence. It is crucial to discuss and debate the most effective methods and strategies to minimise such tragedies and I believe Border Security 2016 is the perfect environment for such a forum, hence providing my support behind the conference as chairman.

    We would ask you to pay particular attention to the conference agenda which has been put together with great care to give you the very best opportunity to benchmark and learn from subject matter experts. We have invited only the most senior and well respected heads of border guards, commanders of naval task forces and coast guards as well as directors of government organisations and this seniority is a demonstration of the support for this critical meeting".
