Integrated Maritime Surveillance How enhanced datasharing and coast-guard functions cooperation can improve the maritime surveillance efficiency fostering sustainable economic growth? DG MARE-D1 30/10/2012 Forum Atlantique - Brest
Integrated Maritime Policy and Integrated Maritime Surveillance Blue Book : Communication of 10.10.2007, COM(2007) 575 final "Maritime surveillance is of the highest importance in ensuring the safe use of the sea and in securing Europe's maritime borders. The improvement and optimisation of maritime surveillance activities, and interoperability at the European level, are important for Europe to meet the challenges and threats relating to safety of navigation, marine pollution, law enforcement, and overall security." Inter-ministerial declaration of Limassol 07.10.2012 "We reaffirm that growth can be boosted by coherent and effective public policy that sets out the conditions necessary for the full development of the blue economy. It should reduce administrative and regulatory burdens and remove bottlenecks for innovation and investment. We therefore call for involved parties to ( ) support the integration of maritime surveillance."
How to ensure safer, more secure and cleaner seas fostering sustainable economic growth? Creating a European network for maritime surveillance To take steps towards a more interoperable surveillance system to bring together existing monitoring and tracking systems used for maritime safety and security, protection of the marine environment, fisheries control, control of external borders and other law enforcement activities. To promote improved cooperation between Member States' Coastguards and appropriate agencies.

WHAT TO ACHIEVE? Generating a situational awareness of activities at sea across all relevant sectors to facilitate sound decision making in maritime governance Increase: - Cooperation - Effectiveness - Cost efficiency in maritime surveillance
HOW? IS IT POSSIBLE? YES, if we take comprehensive and open approach "THINK DIFFERENT!" Common Information Sharing Environment for the surveillance of the EU maritime domain (CISE)

CISE 5 Guiding principles Communication of 15.10.2009, COM(2009)538 final 1.Interlinking all relevant 7 User Communities. 2. Building a technical supporting framework for interoperability between existing and future surveillance systems in a decentralised way and using modern technologies. 3. Information exchange between civilian and military authorities, 4. Specific legal provisions to allow lawful exchange of data defining access rights to information. 5. Change of paradigm: from "need to know" to "need to know and responsability to share".

CONCRETE ACTIONS FOR ATLANTIC? LOOKING AHEAD CISE : COOPERATION PROJECT 2013! Call for proposals MARE/2012/17 of 03.08.2012 Budget: 2,100,000.00 (IMP Work Program 2011-12 action 1.2.1) Deadline to submit offer: 31.10.2012 Duration: 12 months + 3 for final report (start January 2013) Minimum 6 EU/EEA Member States from at least 3 EU basins Best possible EU wide geographical coverage At least 3 of the 7 CISE user communities Ideally, same stakeholders as in FP7 Pre-Operational Validation (POV) of common application of surveillance tools at EU level EU Agencies can be associates Third countries may be invited
COOPERATION PROJECT : To foster cooperation between public authorities Member States to identify: WHAT: concrete use cases (any operational situation generating a relevant need to exchange) and information services (data elements and ways of exchanges) including access rights to information with the view to carry out institutional missions of public maritime authorities. HOW: interoperability requirements (IT semantics, functional framework) EFFICIENCY: providing cost figures to assess the cost efficiency and the economic impact of CISE Public authority A Provider service Public authority B Consumer call to information service Public authority C Consumer call to information service
Examples of Information Services Area Info: relating to area of interest at certain time (e.g. location data, radar tracks and satellite images, environmental data ). Purpose: search and rescue, fisheries & customs control, detecting illegal activities etc. Ship Voyage Info: relating to identified track at a certain time (e.g. sea routes and calls, cargoes and crew on board ). Purpose: identify abnormal vessel behavior, environmental or security control. Access to Registers: relating to existing databases for specific data (e.g. criminal records, port
LOOKING AHEAD CISE : FP7 project (2014-2015)! Security Research Call FP7-SEC-2012-1 - Topic SEC -2013.5.3-2 Deadline to submit offer: 22.11. 2012 Duration: 18 months (start January 2014) Pre-Operational Validation (POV) of common application of surveillance tools at EU level The FP7 project will aim at implementing the services defined in the cooperation project and test them in a preoperational validation phase. Output expected to be a validated technical and operational reference framework, a test bench to be used for the setting up across sectors of future interoperable systems at a larger scale. The project has potential to create important market opportunities worldwide for European industry.
COAST GUARD FUNCTIONS COOPERATION No one agreed European definition of what a coast guard organisation should look like but a broad understanding of the range of coast-guarding activities that a State is required to exercise within its maritime zones of responsibility. A coast guard function can be defined as an expression of a State s competence in its coastal waters while carrying out maritime surveillance activities such as border control, maritime customs activities, maritime safety and security, fisheries control and marine environment protection and general law enforcement.
STEPPING FORWARD IN THE COAST GUARD FUNCTIONS COOPERATION? EUROPEAN COAST GUARD FUNCTIONS FORUM Created in April 2009, non-binding, voluntary, independent and nonpolitical forum gathering all EU maritime Member States with associated Schengen countries (Norway and Iceland) and relevant EU Agencies (EMSA, EFCA and FRONTEX). Strong consideration to sea-basin rotation for chairmanship in order to cover different regional needs. Overall purpose : to study, to contribute to and to promote understanding and development of maritime issues of importance and of common interest across borders and sectors such as : - development of common operational procedures and standards, reinforce synergies and improved operational preparedness, cooperation and response; - promoting trust, burden and asset sharing and enhanced regional cooperation; - establishing a standing forum promoting the exchange of information, expertise, technical assistance, best practice, training, exercises and education.
EUROPEAN COAST GUARD FUNCTIONS FORUM, CONCRETE ACTIONS? First detailed work plan is based on agreed Terms of Reference in 2012 and the Forum secretariat will give detailed and practical proposal of future actions before next annual meeting.
