To mark its 160th anniversary, the Italian Coast Guard is hosting three prestigious events in Rome this year: the plenary conference of the ECGFF (European Coast Guard Functions Forum), the MCGFF (Mediterranean Coast Guard Forum), and the GCGS (Global Coast Guard Summit).

The chairs of the Coast Guard Policy Body, Piet Pieters and Nathalie Balcaen, represent the 17 coast guard partners and are supported by secretary Eefje Deweer.
