The blue WEU (West European Union) patch used to be worn by customs and police officers who were part of the units enforcing the embargo towards Yugoslavia in the early 90's. They were deployed at all the border crossings to Yugoslavia and on the river Danube to support and advise the local (Hungarian, Bulgarian, etc.) officers.
WEU Operation - a very unusual shoulder patch used by a joint international Police and Customs Task Force which blockaded the River Duna at Mohacs during 1995 in order to prevent munitions and other contraband being smuggled into Serbia. The German effort was a combined group of Customs (Zoll) and Federal Border Police (BGS), Netherlands (NL) Customs and Police, Customs Italy, Customs Luxembourg (Lux).

Thanks to both Dieter Wurche and Hinrich Schulze for the information on this particular patch
