<p>Mare Nostrum is an Italian search and rescue operation in the Mediterranean. The
UK has had no involvement in, and made no contributions to, the operation. <br><br>We
continue to work with Italy and other EU Member States to address migratory pressures
in the Mediterranean, for the sake of law abiding citizens and in the best interests
of those tempted to make this dangerous journey. This includes providing support to
Frontex, the EU external borders agency, and finding ways to address the causes of
illegal migration and organised crime in countries of origin and transit.</p><p> </p><p>
