Greece offers itself as European HQ for the EU naval mission in the Red Sea and to take on the leadership of the mission.
Positively acceptable say EU Ministers of Defense.
The mission(ASPIDES/SHIELDS) is on course to begin mid-February. The leading EU countries are Greece, Italy, and France. Germany has pledged 1 ship for now.
It should be noted that the usual suspects like Orban have not vetoed this mission and are instead only abstaining from it.

Dendias said more than month ago we will send a frigate, then today after a Greek ship was seized by Iran, he said we will send 2, but when I searched for more details, I realised that that the mission is several months away and that the US, UK presence is minute, like a couple of ships and a couple of flights from Cyprus.
Generally speaking people in Europe are just sleep-walking.
