Current main challenge: Detection, tracking &
interception of small boats, used for illegal migration and
cross-border crime (e.g. narcotics trafficking).

EUROSUR Definition
(COM(2008)68final of 13.2.2008)

Information sharing and cooperation mechanism enabling
Member States' border control authorities and FRONTEX to improve
their situational awareness and reaction capabilities with the aim to
1) reduce number of illegal migrants entering EU undetected;
2) reduce the death toll of migrants at sea;
3) increase internal security by preventing cross-border crime.

“Federation of systems”, using existing systems (e.g. AIS,
SafeSeaNet) and common surveillance tools (e.g. satellites).

Development in 3 phases and 8 separate, but interlinked steps.

Testing/validation in pilot and FP7 projects.

Implementation by Member States, partly at EU level (e.g.
FRONTEX, Global Monitoring for Environment and Security/GMES).

EUROSUR - PHASE 1
STEP 1: Streamlining & upgrading national infrastructures
by setting up of one single national coordination centre
& one single national border surveillance system.
PHASE 1: Streamlining at MS level
 As of 2008: Setting up of national
coordination centres (NCC) and
national surveillance systems.
 2008-2010: Guidelines for
cooperation between NCCs / FRONTEX.
 2009: FRONTEX assessment on EU
external borders and needed
infrastructure in third countries.
 2009-2010: Management &
technical concepts for NCCs and
national systems and specifications for
communication network.
 2010-2011: Pilot project and data
model for the communication network.
 2011: Legislative proposal.
