Various initiatives at EU level

COPERNICUS

Copernicus, previously known as GMES - Global Monitoring for Environment and Security is the European programme for Earth Observation and monitoring. Coordinated, funded and managed by the European Commission.

The Copernicus services for Security applications aim to support the related European Union Policies in the following priority areas: Border Surveillance Maritime Surveillance Support to EU External Action



6

Aims to further develop a capability that fulfils the need of maritime surveillance information sharing and networking whilst maximizing interoperability and standardization.

EUROSUR

• Is the information-exchange framework designed to improve the management of Europe’s external borders.

• It aims to support Member States by iincreasing their situational awareness and reaction capability in combating cross-border crime, tackling irregular migration and preventing loss migrant lives at sea

• The backbone of EUROSUR is a network of National Coordination Centres (NCCs). Each MS establishes a NCC, which groups the authorities responsable for border control.

• The NCCs collect local and national information about what takes place at the border. The NCCs are also responsible to share with other MS and Frontex relevant information. Based on this input and information from other other sources, Frontex creates the European situational picture and the common pre-frontier intelligence picture (beyond Schengen área and EU borders).

CISE in a Nutshell

Common Information Sharing Environment



10

Why CISE?

• Enhanced information exchange is a global response to preventing tragic events

9/11 - Terrorist attacks

USA: 'MISE' Maritime Information Sharing Environment

Airplane accidents

Maritime security threats (Refugee crisis, illegal trafficking…)

EU: 'Single European Sky' Integrated management of the European

airspace

EU: 'Maritime CISE' EU Integrated maritime surveillance

National Coast Guard authority: “Decision makers should not wait for more tragic events at sea to

implement CISE”



11

But, what is CISE?

• Common Information Sharing Environment

for maritime surveillance

•CISE aims at creating a political, cultural, legal and technical

environment

•to enable information sharing between existing and future surveillance systems and networks

Political Context (EU Policy Framework)

Integrated Maritime Policy (IMP) &

Blue Growth

EU Maritime Security Strategy (EUMSS) &

European Agenda for Security

EU Digital Agenda & Standardisation Policy

CISE

“ .. take steps towards a more interoperable surveillance system to bring together existing monitoring and tracking systems”

“Further implement the Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE).”

Key Principles

• Connecting public authorities responsible for maritime surveillance • civil and military • regional/sectorial organisations, EU Agencies

• Voluntary

• Decentralised (point to point exchange of information)

• Neutral solution (all sectors and systems are important)

• Reusing existing tools and systems

• Easy for information providers (ownership of the information, access rights,

security)



15

CISE will NOT be a system. It will be a set of agreed specifications for an interoperability layer which, once implemented, will ease information exchange.

CISE will also be a set of supporting tools: • A Registry of Authorities and Services (i.e. contact details and services). • Virtual collaboration tools (e.g. instant messaging). • A reference implementation

CISE Interoperability

Agreed common data and service models

Agreed solutions for
