Towards a European Coastguard Capacity Non-paper on Coastguard Functions in the EU (17 September 2015) 1. Purpose of this paper The purpose of this paper is to define a common approach at EU level on future action to improve co-operation and co-ordination between the relevant Member States' authorities, EU Agencies and other bodies performing coastguard functions1 with a view to moving towards a European Coastguard Capacity/System. Taking into account the existing cooperation and its shortcomings (Annex 1) this document identifies what could be done by whom, while taking into account the relevant EU acquis2, the Maritime Transport Strategy, the EU Maritime Security Strategy and the European Agenda on Migration. 2. Background In the past the European Parliament has been quite vocal in requesting the creation of a European Coastguard (body). However, Member States did not support such an idea. Therefore the Commission focused on how to improve cooperation and coordination between bodies and agencies carrying out coastguard functions by finalising in June 2014 - as requested by the co-legislators in the EMSA revised founding Regulation3 - a feasibility study4 ("2014 Commission study"), examining possible steps to improve efficiency and effectiveness. While the study identifies areas for closer collaboration (Annex 2), one of the key findings is the pivotal role of the existing operational surveillance and data sharing which underpins all of the functions. In June 2014, the Council adopted the EU Maritime Security Strategy (EUMSS) and in December 2014 the accompanying Action Plan. The aim is to reinforce the EU response to threats and risks to EU interests in the maritime domain by inter alia improving co-operation between all relevant civilian and military actors. Several of the 130 actions focus on enhancing co-operation between authorities carrying out Coastguard Functions, including military authorities. Many actions still require further detailing and putting into practice. In May 2015 the Commission stated the following in the European Agenda of Migration5:  Coastguards have a crucial role both for saving lives and securing maritime borders. Their effectiveness would be improved through greater cooperation. The Commission, together with relevant agencies, will support such cooperation and, where appropriate, the further pooling of certain coastguard functions at the EU level. 1 (1) Maritime Safety, including vessel traffic management; (2) Maritime, ship and port security; (3) Maritime customs activities; (4) Prevention and suppression of trafficking and of smuggling and connected maritime law enforcement; (5) Maritime border control; (6) Maritime monitoring and surveillance; (7) Maritime environmental protection and response; (8) Maritime search and rescue; (9) Ship casualty and maritime assistance service (10) Maritime accident and disaster response; (11) Fisheries inspection and control. 2 E.g.

As well as a European System of Border Guards, this would cover a new approach to coastguard functions in the EU, looking at initiatives such as asset sharing, joint exercises and dual use of resources as well as the possibility of moving towards a European Coastguard. Commission President Juncker underlined the importance of this topic also in his September 2015 State of the European Union address before the European Parliament.6 This paper proposes four common principles and eleven actions, which – when looked at together – present a first vision on how to find a new approach to coastguard functions in the EU, and – once implemented – might lead to a true European Coastguard Capacity. 3. Common principles 1) Interagency cooperation and respect of functional integrity: There is the understanding that the goal is not to transform the 316 civilian and military Member States' authorities, which are responsible for coastguard functions and collaborating via 70 different structures, into a single body, but to enhance cooperation and coordination among them and to provide joint services. In the longer term this would allow for moving towards a European capacity of coastguards whilst ensuring functional integrity. 2) Avoid duplication and ensure coherence with EU legislation and policies: Several coastguard functions are currently being carried out by the Member States' authorities participating in the European Coastguard Functions Forum (ECGFF) and other regional coastguard fora7. The 2014 study has shown that most coastguard functions are covered by EU legislation8. To avoid duplication of effort, the Commission needs to ensure together with the Member States that the main actors (in particular EU Agencies and the ECGFF) act in a coherent manner and in line with EU legislation and policies. This requires a proactive role of the Commission, providing clear guidance. 3) Build on what has been achieved so far in this domain at European and regional level: When the Commission, EU Agencies, Member States and the ECGFF further develop the European Coastguard Functions, achievements at regional level9 and the results of the 2014 study and the EUMSS Action Plan should be taken into account to the extent possible. 4) Involve all relevant actors: Finally the external security actors and neighbouring third countries could also be involved, as they are crucial to achieving these goals. 4. Eleven actions to move forward Building inter alia on the findings of the 2014 study, the following eleven actions are proposed: 6 "We need to strengthen Frontex significantly and develop it into a fully operational European border and coast guard system. It is certainly feasible. But it will cost money. The Commission believes this is money well invested. This is why we will propose ambitious steps towards a European Border and Coast Guard before the end of the year." 7 E.g. Mediterranean Coast Guard Functions Forum (MedCGFF), North Atlantic Coast Guard Forum (NACGF). 8 E.g. EU legislation establishing Frontex, EMSA and EFCA and for the Community systems managed by these Agencies on behalf of Member States (e.g. Eurosur, SafeSeaNet and Vessel Monitoring System). 9 E.g. Baltic Sea Region Border Control Cooperation (BSRBCC), which follows a cross-sectoral approach by focusing on border control, law enforcement and environmental protection. 2|Page 4.1 Better governance for policy implementation 1) Establish a contact group between concerned EU Agencies and Commission services The purpose of this contact group is to ensure coherence between the different actors and to provide guidance on the basis of the common principles10. It could be first set up between the Commission (HOME, MOVE, MARE, TAXUD) and Frontex, EMSA and EFCA. Depending on progress, this group could be extended to EEAS, EDA and SATCEN. The contact group should also provide clear guidance to the ECGFF. For this purpose the ECGFF chair could be invited on a case-by-case basis. The members of the group, which would be chaired by the Commission, would meet on a regular basis. 2) Use ECGFF as interlocutor with Member States' operational agencies and extend to third countries The responsibilities for the eleven coastguard functions vary greatly from one Member State to another. Therefore no one Council working group can cover all issues horizontally. At operational level the European Coastguard Functions Forum/ECGFF (Annex 3) could be of use as a direct interlocutor with the 316 MS' authorities under the guidance of the above mentioned contact group for roles where the EU neither has legislation, nor competencies11 Under the same guidance, the ECGFF could also be extended to neighbouring third countries, providing a platform for informal discussions and paving the way for further cooperation within the EU framework. 4.2 Improved information sharing between Coastguard authorities 3) Use existing systems and services (e.g. Eurosur12, EMSA hosted systems and applications13) and processes (e.g. CISE14) for promoting the information sharing These systems, services and processes could be used as the technical support instruments to promote the further harmonisation of existing systems/frameworks for information sharing, but also for developing and testing15 common procedures and tools and to benchmark which information is already collected, needed and how best to disseminate it. 4) Use of modern surveillance and communication technology All involved actors could benefit from modern technology (e.g. SATCOM, RPAS16, aerostats, VDES17, new sensors, etc.). To make best use of it, common requirements need to be defined. The contact group and agencies could here provide input. Funding provided under H2020 and Copernicus could be used for testing and implementation by end-users. 10 This contact group should go into technical details only to the extent necessary for coordinating the actions of the participating services and bodies. 11 The ECGFF secretariat could either be a virtual one or co-located in Frontex/EMSA. 12 The European external border surveillance system, see Annex 4. 13 See Annex 5. 14 Common information sharing environment for the EU maritime domain, see Annex 6. 15 E.g. in regional networks, such as in the Baltic Sea and in the on-going FP7 project EUCISE 2020. 16 Remotely piloted aircraft system. 17 VHF data exchange system. 3|Page 4.3 Improved capacity building for coastguard authorities 5) Develop guidelines/handbook for better collaboration between Member States' authorities performing coastguard functions Following a bottom up approach and drawing from the experience of already existing user-groups18, practical/operational guidelines or a "Coastguard Handbook" could be elaborated, which contains non-binding recommendations, best practices and standard operating procedures19. Furthermore such a Handbook could e.g. describe how best to share in-real time the tactical situational picture and communicate between vessels and operational centres across borders and sectors20 or how to access services provided by EU Agencies. This Handbook could be elaborated by the EU Agencies with input from the ECGFF under Commission guidance. 6) EU pilot project on operational co-operation The European Parliament has proposed to reserve M€ 1 mio EUR (2016 budget) for a pilot project to enhance coastguard co-operation. This pilot project should be co-lead by Frontex, EMSA and EFCA and focus on developing joint planning, asset sharing and mutualisation of resources between authorities carrying out coastguard functions within the field of maritime transport, border and fisheries control. It could also be used to test the implementation of other actions listed in this chapter 3. 7) Training Training courses regarding matters covered by the Coastguard Handbook could be organised by the EU Agencies to increase the capacity of coastguards to collaborate and act jointly. This action will be developed in collaboration with the 'ECGFA21 NET project' led by the Finnish border guard under the ECGFF and which aims at establishing a network connecting coastguard academies and providing training for different coastguard functions. A second step is to form a Sectorial Qualification Framework to provide common training standards. A catalogue could be elaborated of training courses available in national academies and EU Agencies for coastguard staff from other national authorities, Member States and even neighbouring third countries. This action could lead later on to a European Coastguard Academy22. 8) Exchange of personnel To improve know-how and common understanding, the temporary/permanent exchange of staff could be envisaged between bodies and agencies both at EU and national level, in particular between civilian and military missions (e.g. for CSDP/Frontex operations). 18 E.g. for pollution response, places of refuge, fisheries cooperation, border surveillance etc. 19 Chapters of the draft Eurosur Handbook could be used (e.g. search and rescue and interagency cooperation). 20 As currently being implemented for surveillance in Eurosur and for ports in the national single window. 21 European Coast Guard Functions Academy Network. 22 The role of this academy would be to maintain a networking mechanism between national Coast Guard academies, support exchange programmes and organise seminars. The first step of the ECGFA NET project development will be presented in February 2016 by the Finnish Border Guard, and the next step, the Qualification Framework development, will commence shortly after. 4|Page 4.4 Improved capacity sharing between Coastguard authorities 9) Cross-sector joint operations Cross-sector joint operations, which have been successfully tested at EU level (e.g. in Frontex Joint Operation Indalo with regard to border control, oil-spills detection and fishery control), should become the rule and not the exception. Patrolling assets should be equipped and trained for detecting, identifying and informing the relevant authorities about different types of incidents. This could be further developed in pilot projects, with the EU Agencies in the lead. 10) Mutualisation of capabilities Frontex, EMSA and SATCEN have established the Eurosur Fusion services, consisting of different tools e.g. for vessel detection and tracking. EMSA, Frontex and EFCA have developed additional tailor-made maritime services. These could be made available to other EU Agencies respectively to other Member States' authorities. Furthermore, Member States should be encouraged to share the capabilities of their national authorities across sectors and borders. Information on these services and capabilities and how to access them could be included in the Coastguard Handbook. 11) Promoting asset sharing and joint planning Points 8) and 9) could almost automatically lead to an increased sharing of assets, both at EU and national level, leading to regular multi-mission operations. Of course attention has to be paid to not undermine the main mission. Relevant best practices, in particular at national and regional level, could be identified in the Handbook. 5. Next steps Once this paper has been presented by the European Commission at the next ECGFF plenary session taking place on 22-24 September 2015, the contact group could be established in October 2015, discussing how to use available EU funding for the different actions, such as the EU pilot project (action 6). 5|Page Annex 1: Existing cooperation and shortcomings The responsibility for carrying out Coastguard Functions is distributed across 316 public authorities in the coastal Member States of the EU. Arrangements vary widely among the Member States, with often a mix of civil and military authorities involved. The 2014 Commission study identified eleven different Coastguard Functions which are being carried out by these authorities and are subject to a mix of national and EU law. Some co-operation exists already. These 316 authorities are undertaking joint activities with peer organisations in other countries through a total of 70 collaborative structures at international, EU, and regional levels. In addition, there are 41 bilateral and multilateral cross- border cooperation agreements between EU Member States, some of which involve non-EU countries. The breadth and depth of cooperation vary widely across the Coastguard Functions. The largest numbers of collaborative efforts focus on maritime environmental protection and response, maritime safety and maritime surveillance. Structured EU-wide/regional/ multilateral cooperation as well as permanent operational coordination are amongst the most widely used collaboration models across the EU. Most of these collaborations involve data sharing. Several structured cooperation agreements also involve capacity building and joint operations. EU institutions and agencies (mainly EMSA, FRONTEX and EFCA) support permanent operational coordination activities across a whole range of activities. Financial burden sharing procedures are mainly carried out by EU institutions and agencies in their respective functions. Consultations with stakeholders and the 2014 Commission study have identified three key shortcomings with the existing co-operation:  The lack of information on the remit, powers and capabilities of other authorities is a barrier to collaboration; this is mainly due to the complexity, diversity and fragmentation of institutional arrangements for delivery of Coastguard Functions at national and supra- national level and the multiple legal frameworks focusing on specific aspects of collaboration activities.  Human resources, financial constraints as well as the limited number of operational assets hamper collaboration with other authorities. The difficult financial environment in which many Coastguard authorities find themselves at the moment reinforces the need for collaboration proposals to be underpinned by a robust business case and taking into account direct benefits, financial costs but also ultimate economic, social and environmental impacts.  There is room for improvement with regard to the permanent and ad hoc coordination and full interoperability of Coastguard services; currently joint planning and joint operations are limited to certain Coastguard Functions and are time-bound and the interoperability of systems, processes and assets needs to be further improved. 6|Page Annex 2: Possible areas for closer collaboration The 2014 Commission study suggested the following actions for further cross-border, cross- sector co-operation and – as a first political response – some are foreseen as actions under the EUMSS Action Plan:  Data sharing: intelligence, information management and reporting and exchange of relevant information – mostly covered in EUMSS;  Asset sharing: sharing of assets performing Coastguard Functions in cross-border or EU- level operations – only partially covered in EUMSS;  Personnel sharing: operational human resource management and pooled resources – not covered in EUMSS;  Capacity building: technical and operational assistance (e.g. joint training, institutional capacity building, promotion of common standards, approximation of legislation) and interoperability of systems and assets – only partially covered in EUMSS;  Financial burden sharing: partially or fully contributing to the cost of cooperation in a functional area through a cost sharing mechanism – not covered in EUMSS;  Joint operations: leading operations in conjunction with other Coastguard forces in a specific geographical area and for a specific purpose – only foreseen for military forces in EUMSS;  Research, development and innovation: developing concepts, projects or pilots of novel nature eventually involving the use of emerging technologies – mostly covered in EUMSS. Annex 3: European Coastguard Functions Forum (ECGFF) The ECGFF is a self-governing, voluntary, independent and non-political Forum which includes the heads of the Coastguards or equivalents of each EU maritime country and associated Schengen countries. The European Commission and EU agencies with related competencies in Coastguard Functions are participating as observers. The Forum is supposed to improve coordination and cooperation across all policy and operational areas and improve implementation of legislation in practice. The chair rotates on a yearly basis and is held by the Finnish Border Guard, to be followed by the UK Maritime and Coastguard Agency in 2016. 25 Member States participate with a variety of Coastguard Functions agencies. A Brussels office (in the Frontex premises) was opened in March 2015 and is part time manned by the ECGFF group (representatives from the former, current and next chair). The Forum holds about three secretariat meetings a year and one plenary session. Among other things, the forum currently organises training seminars and manages networks of experts. The incoming UK chair intends to promote the further development of Coastguard Functions and to produce a roadmap for the development of Coastguard Functions. Currently the ECGFF is financially supported by Frontex and DG MARE for conferences. FRONTEX has announced the discontinuation of funding from 2016. The Forum will have to consider other forms to fund their activities (e.g. getting further financial support from Member States or finding new sponsorship). DG MARE intends to continue supporting the organisation of the plenary session. 7|Page Annex 4: European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR) Established by EU legislation23, EUROSUR is a multi-purpose system used for detecting, preventing and combating illegal migration and cross-border crime at the external borders, thereby contributing to the further development of the Schengen acquis. It aims to contribute to protect and save the lives of migrants attempting to cross the external borders. To achieve these objectives, EUROSUR provides a common framework for information exchange and cooperation among all authorities with responsibility for the surveillance of the external land and sea borders. The EUROSUR framework may also be used for the surveillance of air borders and for border checks if Member States voluntarily provide such information. The EUROSUR framework consists of several components24 which interrelate as follows: At national level, authorities cooperate via national coordination centres (NCCs)25 for border surveillance and exchange information via national situational pictures. At European level, the national coordination centres exchange information with each other and the Agency via the EUROSUR communication network, with unlimited access to the European situational picture and the common pre-frontier intelligence picture. The Agency also cooperates with other EU bodies, offices and agencies (e.g. EEAS, Europol, EASO, EU Agency for Fundamental Rights) in order to make best use of the information, capabilities and systems available. For example, the Agency coordinates the common application of surveillance tools (ship reporting systems, satellite imagery etc) in cooperation with the European Maritime Safety Agency and the EU Satellite Centre order to supply the national coordination centres and itself with surveillance information. EUROSUR follows an intelligence and risk analysis driven approach, allowing national and European authorities to better understand what is happening at the external borders and enabling them to react faster to new routes and methods used for illegal immigration and cross-border crime. Key elements of this include near-real time information exchange, regular intelligence sharing and close cooperation among authorities at national and European level. EUROSUR allows Member States to react faster to incidents and to critical situations occurring at the external borders. To help with this, the external land and sea borders are divided into ‘border sections’, each of which is given an impact level. This approach allows hotspots at the external borders to be identified, with a standardised reaction at national level and support from the Agency if required. To achieve EUROSUR’s objectives, Member States also exchange information and work with neighbouring third countries based on agreements and through specific regional networks based on those agreements. When exchanging information and cooperating in the framework of EUROSUR, Member States and the Agency must comply with requirements to protect fundamental rights, in particular the non-refoulement principle and the protection of personal data. 23 Regulation (EU) No 1052/2013 of 22.10.2013 establishing EUROSUR, which is operational since 2.12.2013. 24 National coordination centres, national situational pictures, EUROSUR communication system, European situational picture, Common pre-frontier intelligence picture, common application of surveillance tools. 25 Representatives from the national authorities with responsibility for the surveillance of the external land and sea borders work together in the NCC on a permanent basis. Depending on the national division of responsibilities, the NCC exchanges information and cooperates with the following national authorities: coastguard, police/gendarmerie, customs authorities, national guard, armed forces, maritime rescue coordination centre (MRCC), migration and asylum authorities. The NCC may exchange information and cooperate also with other national authorities, including maritime authority, fishery control authority, liaison officers posted abroad, veterinary/phyto-sanitary services, prosecutor’s office, transport authorities, civil protection services, etc. 8|Page Annex 5: The Union Maritime Information and Exchange System Based on Union law, in particular Directives 2002/59/EC and 2010/65/EC, a network of national systems in the Member States (de-centralised) and a central system acting as a nodal point, hosted and operated by the European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) hs been constituted. Apart from enhancing maritime safety, port and maritime security, environmental protection and pollution preparedness, the system allows for the exchange and sharing, in accordance with Union legislation, of additional information facilitating efficient maritime traffic and maritime transport. It provides enhanced situational awareness in the maritime domain and tailor-made solutions to the European Union and EU Member States. The system has been developed to provide configurable services to users, fostering the exchange of data for the benefit of all authorities involved. The EU legislation therefore includes the requirement on Member States to develop and maintain the necessary technical interfaces for electronic data transmission. Since 1 June 2015 this is further enhanced through the linking with the maritime National Single Windows (where information is reported once and made available to the various competent national authorities). Hence, the same maritime picture can be used for trade facilitation purposes as well as for enforcement and control purposes in the fields of customs, sea border control, health and general law enforcement. Integrated maritime services are used by other EU Agencies: providing enhanced operational services in the areas of anti-piracy; fisheries campaign monitoring; border control. They also support MAOC-N, a platform for cooperation in the fight against illicit drug trafficking by sea across the Atlantic Ocean towards Europe and the West African coast. The integrated maritime services constitute an interoperable suite of systems which receive, process, and distribute information on e.g. vessel traffic surveillance (Sat-AIS, LRIT, SafeSeaNet), satellite monitoring (CleanSeaNet), and Port State Control (Thetis). Users have full operational support, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, through EMSA's Maritime Support Services (MSS). The Union Maritime Information and Exchange System includes: 1. SafeSeaNet Member States and EMSA operate SafeSeaNet, the vessel traffic monitoring and information system covering the waters in and around Europe. SafeSeaNet acts as a platform for maritime data exchange, linking together maritime authorities from across the continent. It works by tracking Automatic Identification System (AIS) radio signals transmitted by ships. These provide identity details, latest positions and other status information in near-real-time for around 17,000 vessels operating in and around EU waters. This data is enriched with information on: • hazardous goods • the number of people on board • past positions of ships • ships with high risk profiles • accidents and incidents • estimated or actual arrival and departure times in ports. 9|Page 2. Long-Range Identification and Tracking Long-Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) is a mandatory international system to track ships around the world. Vessels send signals via telecommunication satellites, which are received by Data Centres in flag States. EMSA operates the EU LRIT Cooperative Data Centre, covering over 35 countries. The Agency also hosts the International Data Exchange, for the exchange of ship positions between Data Centres around the world. 3. CleanSeaNet CleanSeaNet is a European satellite-based oil spill and vessel detection service using SAR radar. It offers: • identifying and tracing e.g. oil pollution on the sea surface • monitoring accidental pollution during emergencies • contributing to the identification of polluters. Users can also access a wide range of supplementary information such as: • oil drift modelling • optical satellite images • wind, wave, sea surface temperature and current data. Radar satellite images can detect vessels and correlates, within the system, with the information in SSN and with LRIT, identifying a suspected vessel/polluter. 4. Tailor-made services for users In line with data access rights, EMSA makes sure that Member States and EU institutions can access the best maritime domain awareness information available. EMSA has developed an ICT platform (ImDate) to ensure the performance, availability and reliability of all the maritime information systems it hosts supporting any maritime activity that could have an impact on security, safety, the economy or the environment.. This platform can also integrate and combine different types of data, including data provided by the end user, to produce customised services tailored to user requirements. In relation to the on-going migration crisis, it may also be relevant to refer to the following: EMSA currently delivers five services to Frontex in support of EUROSUR: 1) Vessel Monitoring and Tracking Service, consisting of permanent feeds of vessel data; 2) Vessel Detection Service, consisting of the detection of objects at sea using satellite- based radar; 3) Anomaly Detection Service, based on automated vessel behaviour monitoring which activates alerts if vessel movements are unexpected based on predefined behaviour algorithms; 4) Activity Detection Service, based on the interpretation of optical imagery and mapping of harbour areas and coastlines. 5) Vessel Reporting Service, identifying and tracking vessels that give rise to suspicion to be involved in illegal migration or cross border crime. Under the integrated SafeSeaNet ecosystem EMSA delivers Search and Rescue functionalities to the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centres of the Member States. Given the current situation in the Mediterranean, Search and Rescue operations undertaken by the Italian Coast Guard have resulted in the saving of lives at sea. Indirectly, these efforts support Frontex and Joint Operations at sea, such as Triton. 10 | P a g e Annex 6: CISE Commission Communication (2014)451final of 8 July 2014 states that 'Maritime CISE is a voluntary collaborative process in the European Union seeking to further enhance and promote relevant information sharing between authorities involved in maritime surveillance. It is not replacing or duplicating but building on existing information exchange and sharing systems and platforms. The objective is to ensure that maritime surveillance information collected by one maritime authority and considered necessary for the operational activities of others can be shared and be subject to multiuse, rather than collected and produced several times, or collected and kept for a single purpose.' CISE is based on existing systems and promotes the development and dissemination of standards facilitating the exchange of information between maritime surveillance systems. The development of CISE is based on a set of different building blocks to be implemented by the Commission together with Member States and aiming at:  The interlinking of EU systems laid down by EU law (especially the Union Maritime Information and Exchange system, the European border surveillance system EUROSUR) or developed on a voluntary basis (e.g. the MARSUR project interlinking navies).  The development of turn-key EU information services in addition to what is currently delivered by EMSA, Frontex and under the Copernicus programme.  The set-up of a common interoperability solution enabling national authorities to exchange information services in a decentralised way (under development by means of the FP7 research project EU CISE 2020). This interoperability framework would allow to 'glue' European, regional and national legacy systems to share in a decentralised way data of common interest across borders and sectors, in order to complement on a voluntary basis the information channelled by the two previous dimensions. 11 | P a g e From: Rene Arikas Sent: 3. november 2015. a. 8:08 To: Keiu Leopard Subject: FW: Non-Paper arutelu Attachments: Joint paper on coast guard functions 17.9.2015.pdf From: Marti Magnus [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, November 02, 2015 11:04 PM To: Rene Arikas <[email protected]> Subject: Non-Paper arutelu Tere Rene!
