By Andrew Gray and Lili Bayer BRUSSELS, March 15 (Reuters) - European Union foreign ministers will discuss on Monday bolstering a small naval mission in the Middle East but are not expected to decide on extending its role to the choked-off Strait of Hormuz, diplomats and officials say.

It currently has an Italian and a Greek ship under its direct command and can also call upon a French ship and another Italian vessel for support.
