Comprehensive European Security Approaches: EU Security Programmes Robert HAVAS EOS Chairman of the Board
INTRODUCTION the EOS Programmes rationale Why implementing EU Security Programmes / ASPIDA approach? 1. Create a EU level momentum and market, justified by EU further integration and supporting it: create an integrated Schengen border management system foster the creation of a EU rapid reaction capacity and capabilities mutualisation framework create a EU wide seamless cyber security space propose common EU rules to deal with critical infrastructure protection
INTRODUCTION the EOS Programmes rationale 2. Propose reference solutions as first step for MS procurement standards establishment: includes implementation of certification and validation procedures includes common architecture standards (also for interoperability) and common operational guidelines
EUROPE's SCHENGEN BORDERS CONTROL ( Secure our borders from illicit immigration and trafficking of goods) Create the standard border check point as a component of an EU-wide integrated network, to accelerate transit of bona fide travellers whilst blocking illicit people and goods. Accelerate integration of all MS Schengen border surveillance systems into a coherent network and introduce a secure inter-ms exchange infrastructure Create an EU level Border Guards capability able of supporting MS requests, providing resources in case of crisis with a capability for basinwide monitoring (for maritime), directly operated by Frontex and using, where appropriate, aerial visualisation (satellite and UAV's).
EUROPE's RAPID REACTION CAPABILITY FOR CIVIL PROTECTION ( Protect our citizens and assets ) Introduce EU Disaster Management Framework to implement procedures and capabilities for local, regional and national emergencies management and sustain compatibility in contingency planning. Create an Integrated EU Operational Capability based upon a MS solidarity alliance to intervene anywhere in Europe as a complement to local capability and capacity, following a disaster (natural or manmade), with the option to extend the mission outside Europe on a case-by-case basis. Introduce an EU owned Light Crisis Response Capability that could be deployed rapidly (fast, scalable - mobile - deployable communication; command and control infrastructure; urban search and rescue; mobile hospitals; etc). Develop interoperability and logistics compatibility at EU level to enable MS to coordinate Heavy Crisis Response Capabilities provided by other countries to increase capacities of local civil protection responses when overwhelmed by thescale of disasters. Extend the MIC function to that of an EU Civil Protection Situation Room with links to other MS and NATO command - control centres. This EU Situation room could also manage data exchange for critical infrastructures protection, moving towards a distributed EU network of interoperable civil security - emergency centers.
EUROPE s IMPROVED RESILIENCE TO CYBER ATTACKS ( Protect our information and vital services ) Define a cyber-security certification programme identifying levels of preparedness and resilience of infrastructures and the cyber space in general, includingcyberincident contingencyand response plans. Deploy pilot projects in application domains (ranging from transport to energy as well as more generally at the telecom infrastructure level) to stimulate cooperation between MS, reinforcing trust and mutual support (when cyber attacks overwhelm installed capacity) and contribute to building local competencies to face cyber attacks across Europe. Create an EU Cyber-Watch capability that monitors, evaluates and analyses cyber threats, assesses impacts and disseminates best mitigation practices in order to maintain a high degree of resilience, also coordinating technological expertise, education and training to improve MS capabilities.
EUROPE s END TO END AIR TRANSPORT SECURITY ( Accelerate lawful movement of people and goods by air ) Create End-to End air transportation security capabilities (airports, airlines, aviation security) fostering the adoption of a multi-layered integrated approach, using affordable complementary technologies (e.g. screening, biometrics, information and intelligence exchange) based on more detailed regulations, and supportadvancedtraining of security staff. Develop and implement non-stop (fast throughput) and seamless solutions, standards and common procedures for ID checks (also of baggage and goods) with full respect for the passengers privacy. Certify security solutions through adoption of common and harmonised EU procedures.
EUROPE s ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY ( Protection of infrastructures for reliable delivery of energy ) Link the EU security of supply policy with a policy for the security of critical energy infrastructures Develop and implement Operator Security Plans driven by clear EU guidelines, for energy infrastructures at local, MS and EU level. Enhance at MS and EU level mechanisms that undertake observatory, best practice actions and increase coordination of national control centers to ensure critical utility and energy supplies are not compromised and are secured against economic and hostile threats.
EUROPE s MASS TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ( Citizens security & safety in urban and mass transportation ) Encourage the voluntary spread of best practices in mass transportation security Develop and pilot relevant innovative and privacy aware technologies e.g. video-surveillance & high-speed scanners for metros and other crowded spaces, and supportwith comprehensive data management systems Encourage the development and adoption of voluntary common security standards to decrease implementation and operation costs.
EUROPE s SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY ( Accelerate goods movement and prevent theft ) Develop and implement technology pilots, solutions and standards for enhanced security of the end-to end logistic chain, conveying sealed goods and securing exchange of data for movement of goods, considering multimodal transport modes and actors( transport operators, airlines, shipping companies, rail ways, etc). Support international cooperation with other supply chain security programmes from outside the EU by increasing mutual recognition efforts to avoid the duplication of security checks and the mutual acceptance of port and airport security measures.
