Executive Summary In a world facing a growing risk of man-made and natural disasters resulting from increasingly frequent and severe natural, industrial and man-made hazards, the security of citizens, infrastructure and assets and the environment protection have become a high priority in the European Union. Strengthening capacities in disaster risk / crisis management and improving resilience in the fields of CBRN-E (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive) and natural and man-made disaster management, as well as in the areas of border security and the fight against crime and terrorism, represent key EU policy and research challenges. The overall EU security policy framework covers many different sectors, which require coordination among various communities. In this respect, policy development and implementation rely on effective interactions among policy-makers, research, industry (including SMEs) and operational actors (first responders, civil protection units, police forces etc.) in the EU Member States. This requires a proper exchange of information and communication about either policy updates or (research) project results, which should be tailor-made to different sectors concerned with the goal of enhancing the transfer of research solutions or new policy recommendations to users in a timely and relevant fashion. Such exchanges are also needed to identify and address users needs regarding research, technologies and policies, in order to better design funding programmes at an EU level. Finally, a proper transfer of knowledge from research to policy and operational sectors may have a positive impact on policy formulation and review. However, the policy complexity, the high number of research projects, the difficulties associated with bringing innovative tools to the market and the lack of interfacing mechanisms make it difficult to efficiently reach these goals. In order to improve this situation, the European Commission is funding various types of projects, including large-scale demonstration projects. In the field of Disaster Risk and Crisis Management (including CBRN-E, natural and man-made disasters), large-scale projects have helped build a critical mass by federating efforts at an EU level, namely EDEN and DRIVER, as well as other projects which have an interfacing component. These projects, along with different policy committees and think-tanks, develop networks with user s groups in the Member States which have great potential but are currently too fragmented. In this respect, the need to build a Community of Users in the EU based on existing user s communities has been expressed in various fora. Discussions with different actors have hence taken place over the past months and a mapping of policies and research projects has been carried out in light of operational features regarding the overall risk management cycle (from preparedness / prevention, detection / surveillance, response / recovery) and the need to ensure a proper transfer (and implementation) of research outputs to users. This working paper presents the reasoning for the development of a Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient and the results of the mapping of policies and (FP7 secure societies and sector-specific) research, which is aimed to pave the way for improving future links among Horizon2020, capacity-building, training, industrial developments and policy implementation. It has been prepared in view of setting a background for the Community of Users. It does not reflect a formal position of the European Commission.

5 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) 9 2. Overview of Tasks and Objectives 2.1 Background The management of disaster risks and crises of different kinds (unintentional or intentional man-made disasters, natural hazards) as well as other security / safety issues in the areas of border control, supply chains and crime are ruled by a number of international, EU and national policies covering various sectors and operational features such as preparedness, prevention, detection, surveillance, response, and recovery. A wide range of research and technological developments, as well as capacity-building and training projects, are striving to support the implementation of these policies. However, the complexity of the policy framework and the wide variety of research, capacity-building and training initiatives often leads to a lack of awareness about policies and/or project outputs by the among users, namely policy-makers, scientists, industry/smes and practitioners, e.g. civil protection units, medical emergency services and police departments. Highly fragmented information often leads to poor awareness of policy requirements by research and industry communities and poor transfer of research results to policy and stakeholders communities. 2.2 Objectives In the light of the above, there is a strong need to establish a mechanism enabling better information exchanges with regular updates for all possibly interested organisations and effective interactions among projects and different communities. To better understand the type of information that should be considered and how it fits to a larger architecture, a mapping exercise was carried out to highlight the scientific and technological challenges of key related policies and their possible matching by research projects funded by the 7th Framework Programme. A first step is to build up the framework of science-policy-industry-practitioner s interactions and to figure out how an efficient mechanism of information transfer could be made operational at EU and national levels in the light of Horizon 2020 developments. This is the core objective and mission of the proposed Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient. More specifically, five key objectives are defined, namely: 1. Ensuring that research programming (particularly H2020) takes account practitioners needs, thereby promoting research results that are relevant to them; 2. Identifying the most promising tools, methods, guidelines (including those developed in FP7 and H2020 projects) that have the potential to be taken up by practitioners; 3. Support the competitiveness of EU industry by enhancing the market for research results; 4. Ensuring that the expertise of practitioners is available to policy makers, thereby facilitating the policymaking process; 5. Facilitating the implementation of policy.

6 10 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) List of CoU tasks The Community of Users aims to gather as many actors as possible. The registration is hence open and membership can be achieved through a simple request to be included in the CoU mail directory. To fulfil the above defined objectives, the following tasks are considered: 1. The forum of information exchanges represents a first level of interactions at EU level among research, policy, industry and practitioners within the Horizon 2020 framework. It principally concerns the organisation of meetings and reporting through: (a) Information exchanges (objectives 1 to 5) through biannual meetings organised in spring and autumn under the coordination of DG HOME with support from the Research Executive Agency (REA), relevant projects and the EC Joint Research Centre. The meetings aim to enhance links and interactions among research, policies, industrial developments and practitioner s needs; they will gather representatives of the Community of Users either through physical attendance (selection done according to themes to be discussed) or via Internet (web streaming) to exchange information about research and policy updates. In particular, information will be given on key findings of FP7 / H2020 projects, as well as on newly funded projects from other funding instruments. It is hoped that these regular information exchanges and debates will help developing a culture of dialogue among the different communities at International, EU and Member State levels. (b) Highlight new projects, research outputs (objective 2) and policy updates (objective 4) through annual reporting (based on a similar structure as the present report) under the coordination of DG HOME and REA with involvement and contributions from other EC Directorate-Generals, complementing the present background mapping document. 2. The improvement of synergies among future Horizon2020 projects, capacity-building, training and industrial developments is the second level aimed to be developed through: (a) Regular survey (objective 2) of projects issued from different calls / programmes to keep the information basis as complete as possible. This will be jointly carried out by REA and DG HOME, in close cooperation with other DGs, on the basis of project fact sheets (extracts of project catalogues, or sheets produced on the basis of existing formats) regularly updated by the projects at the early stage of the projects (description of objectives), mid-term (interim findings) and final (key findings) stages. (b) Exchange of views with policy-makers and stakeholders (objectives 2, 4, 5) through ad-hoc meetings coordinated by REA, in close coordination with DG HOME and other DGs, gathering selected projects (max. 10) on a given theme to discuss possible synergies. Such meetings will be held in Brussels back-to-back to biannual CoU meetings and on other occasions (depending on project milestones). (c) Through the above subtasks, bridging projects from different funding sources (objectives 1, 2) in particular linking demonstration / training components of H2020 projects to ECHO / HOME (ISF) capacitybuilding and training projects. This will be a joint undertaking by concerned DGs and REA. 3. The identification of promising tools / technologies / recommendations and the production of tailormade information (objective 2) addressed to the different communities, including Member States representatives in different policy sectors, will result from the above interactions, representing a third level, namely: Under joint coordination by DG HOME and REA, and in close cooperation with other DGs, establishing close ties between H2020 projects and their potential users from the very start of the projects by inviting coordinators of projects selected from regular calls to present their project objectives to Policy DGs, Member States (via relevant Committees) and practitioners. Depending upon the nature of the project outputs, these interactions will be coordinated either in an ad-hoc way project by project (i.e. specific meeting with a single project), or through CoU or ad-hoc meetings (see above). 4. Better channelling information (in an appropriate format) on the identified outputs to different users (objectives 1, 4, 5). This concerns in particular projects which have a potential to directly support policy implementation and update and feed research programming through developed tools, technologies, guidelines and roadmaps that are of potential interest to policy-makers, industry stakeholders and practitioners in the Member States. This should result in well-designed briefs, starting from the policy background and describing the project outputs. The production of briefs will be carried out by the projects under coordination of DG HOME, REA and other DGs concerned. 5. The fifth level of interactions concerns the development of networking with practitioners at EU level through close cooperation with Member States to improve their involvement and facilitate the effective transfer and uptake of project outputs, namely through: (a) Sectorial networks (objective 2) with close involvement of practitioners to ensure that the identified project outputs (resulting from the three levels above) are transferred from the EU to national / regional levels in partnership with Member States committees, EU Agencies, Intergovernmental Agencies, and International Organisations. (b) Return of experiences (objective 4) through interactions with practitioners to get feedback about experiences in the Member States regarding the implementation of research solutions. 2.4 Logistics The agenda and organisation of the Community of Users is under the responsibility of DG HOME.B4 in close consultation with various DGs and Agencies, as well as with REA and relevant projects. In its first phase ( ), the development of the Community of Users has been closely linked to two demonstration projects (EDEN 1 and DRIVER 2 ) in terms of logistics, i.e. CoU meetings were organised under the umbrella of these two projects, while all other tasks were coordinated with other services. In the second phase ( ), logistics will be carried out under a service contract with the development of a dedicated website. The first phase of the CoU development has focused on disaster risk and crisis management. The scope of the mapping has been enlarged to encompass all the areas covered by research on secure, safe and resilient societies. On the longer term (2018 and beyond), depending on the development of the CoU, the initiative could be institutionalised through an internal financing that remains to be defined, that could take over some of the tasks (meeting organisation, annual reporting) while the CoU will remain under the coordination and policy responsibility of DG HOME.B

7 12 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) Governance and knowledge transfer The governance of the Community of Users and related knowledge transfer have to be established in the lights of the different interactions among different categories of actors, linking research, industry, policy sectors and practitioners. In this respect, several levels of governance need to be considered: (1) a horizontal level in the framework of which interactions among research, industry, policy-makers and practitioners are established in a coordinated way at different scales, i.e. EU, national and regional; (2) a vertical level which establishes operational links among the EU, national and regional levels through appropriate information relays, synergies and demonstration activities. Figure 1. Different levels of governance The different levels are illustrated in Figure 1 and deals with, in particular: Horizontally ȝȝ Science to science: sharing information and developing interactions among H2020 projects (via the Research DGs) dealing with specific themes to develop a critical mass and reduce fragmentation, and bring tools/ technologies to the market through links with industrial stakeholders. EU-funded projects respond to topics which are generally based on well-defined policy hooks. We might hence expect that projects supporting common policy goals will establish synergies, which is rarely the case without a push from the Commission owing to various considerations (IPR and classified information in particular). Here again, sharing information and developing interactions on a regular basis should become a practice that the Commission asks of projects. ȝȝ Policy to policy: policy interactions in the light of policy implementation needs, including the respective DGs, and establishing links with Member States through formal committees (e.g. CBRN-E Advisory Group, Civil Protection Committee, Seveso Committee etc.). While International and EU policies are developed in close consultation among different sectors, in practice few interactions take place at the implementation level among sectors within the Member States. This is partly due to insufficient sharing of information and joint actions. ȝȝ Science to policy: formatting/translation of research information in a way which is tailor-made to policymakers and ultimately user s needs, responding to well specified technical challenges. This is obviously directly linked to the above, with the requirement for the scientific community to format/translate research information in a way which is tailor-made to policy applications, basically responding to well specified technical challenges. This is the subject of the mapping described in this document. ȝȝ Policy to science: identification of research needs from policy-makers, stakeholders and practitioners on the short to long term and communication of these needs to be taken into account in research programming, development and implementation. An essential component of the policy to science interaction is the capacity for policy-makers to identify research needs on the short to long term and communicate these needs in anticipation to the research community so that programming, research development and implementation can match the policy timeline (e.g. access to the scientific state-of-the-art, short-term research / capacity building, longer term research goals, pre- and co-normative research). Vertically ȝȝ International/EU to National: in the research sector, interactions through H2020 consortia; in the policy sector, interactions through Committees representing Member States and stakeholders, working out appropriate relays to national authorities and stakeholders based on well-formatted information. At international/ EU level, policies are elaborated by relevant organisations (e.g. UN for various conventions and European Commission for security-related EU policies). The links to the National level take place through Committees in which Member States are represented. There is a need to ensure that these Committees be informed on similar grounds about science & policy developments. ȝȝ National to Regional/Local: information relays through interactions with regional research partners and regional authorities as well as practitioner s networks and associations. Once representatives of the Member State s Committee are duly informed, it is to be expected that appropriate relays with regional / local implementers will then take place under the MS responsibility. This also requires a level of coordination which depends upon the willingness and capacity of each Member State. This level of interaction is less well defined than the EU level because of different settings within the Member States. ȝ ȝ Regional to National/EU: return of experiences from either practitioners involved in EU-funded projects or practitioners informed via national channels to the EU level.

8 14 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) Rationale behind the Development of a Community of Users 3.1 Introduction This document presents the reasoning for the development of the Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resillient and the results of the mapping of policies and (FP7 secure societies and sector-specific) research, which is aimed to pave the way for improving future links among Horizon2020, capacity-building, training, industrial developments and policy implementation. In a world facing a growing risk of man-made and natural disasters resulting from increasingly frequent and severe natural, industrial and man-made hazards, the security of citizens, infrastructure and assets has become a high priority in the European Union. Strengthening capacities in disaster risk / crisis management and improving resilience in the fields of CBRN-E (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives) and natural and man-made disaster management represent key EU policy and research challenges. In the case of CBRN-E incidents and threats, the huge explosion at the AZF fertiliser factory in Toulouse in 2001, the deadly E. Coli outbreak which hit Germany in May 2011 and the current Ebola crisis, as well as the recent chemical weapons use during the Syrian conflict, are some examples illustrating the level of risk faced by the EU today. Terrorist threats are also among the most serious risks to be anticipated as shown by the recent attacks in Paris on the 13th November 2015 and in Brussels on the 22nd March Linked to this, enhanced research efforts are called in the area of the fight against crime and terrorism. Finally, the EU is facing the refugee crisis with related border security challenges, which represent another area requiring research developments. The impact of climate change on natural hazards has also seen a rise in the severity and frequency of various natural disasters in Europe and beyond. Meteorological hazards such as extreme weather events, floods and heat waves, as well as forest and wildfires have become recurrent phenomena in the EU. The Xynthia storm in 2010, the major floods in Southern Germany and neighbouring regions in 2013, and the deadly heat wave which struck Europe in 2003 are a few examples. Similarly, crisis management also addresses various geological hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes and tsunamis, as well as health-related hazards (pandemics, livestock epidemics) and other man-made risks (cyber-attacks, loss of critical infrastructure) which all present risks to the EU and its citizens. The many different risks affecting security involve various communities covering research, policy and operational actors (including industry/smes, first responders, civil protection units, decision-makers etc.), all of which have specificities but present also common features regarding the overall risk management cycle (preparedness / prevention, detection / surveillance, response / recovery) and the need to ensure a proper transfer (and implementation) of research outputs to users. Disaster Risk / Crisis Management policies have common technical grounds, including the need to check the effectiveness and performance of existing equipment, tools and processes (testing and validation), the detection of new threats (e.g. new substances) and risk assessment, training and exercises ; in addition, they all support improving the usage of research results. This diversity of actors requires that the dissemination and communication of project results be tailor-made to different sectors, while bearing in mind that the common goal is to ensure that solutions resulting from research will reach users (often regional implementers, first responders, civil protection units, SMEs, individuals, etc.) in a timely and relevant fashion and be translated into useful & used operational tools, hence contributing also to the European economy through improved competitiveness. The high number of research projects and the lack of interfacing mechanism make it difficult to efficiently reach this goal. This is why large-scale demonstration projects have been funded by the European Commission to improve the situation. In the field covering Disaster Risk and Crisis Management (including CBRN-E, natural and man-made disasters), two largescale projects have the potential to help build a critical mass by federating efforts: EDEN and DRIVER (see section 1.2), as well as other projects which have an interfacing component.

9 16 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) 17 At the present stage, the wide range of sectors, disciplines and actors involved in security as well as safety issues are not sufficiently interlinked. While some specificities of each sector do not necessarily require multisectoral interactions (e.g. tools specific to a given hazard), general aspects related to disaster risk management are often common to all types of hazards (CBRN-E, natural and man-made). The need to build a Community of Users in Europe based on existing user communities has been expressed in various fora (Figure 1). In this respect, discussions with different actors have taken place over the last few months and a mapping of policies and research projects has been carried out in the light of features regarding the overall risk management cycle (preparedness / prevention, detection / surveillance, response / recovery). The results of this mapping address several needs such as proper transfer (and implementation) of research outputs to users in the light of specific policy requirements (formulation, implementation, review), identifying users needs and taking them into consideration in designing research programmes. 3.2 Who are the users? Fields concerned by security, safety and resilience for societies are themselves scattered into many different disciplines and sectors. To simplify, we will distinguish five main categories of users: (a) Policy makers; (b) Scientists; (c) Industry (including SMEs); (d) Training and Operational units; and (e) NGOs and general public: a. Policy-makers and stakeholders ȝȝ At the international level, UN bodies are closely working with the EU in the fight against crime and terrorism (UNICRI), disaster risk reduction (UN-ISDR), transboundary industrial accidents (UNECE), environment protection (UNEP) etc. ȝȝ At the EU level, the main policy DGs concerned with Crisis Management are DGs HOME (migration and home affairs), ECHO (civil protection), SANTE (health), GROW (enterprise), ENV (environment), CLIMA (climate action), ENER (energy), MOVE (transport), TAXUD (customs), TRADE (export, trade), EEAS/FPI (external security, foreign policy instrument) and the SG (Secretariat General), as well as the Joint Research Centre (JRC) as supporting DG, see section 5 ȝȝ At the Member State s level, Ministries of Defence, Interior, Foreign Affairs, Civil Protection, Environment, Research and Industry, as well as Agencies and Regional Authorities, are concerned While some of the above actors in categories a, b and c are used to participate in international meetings, this is less frequent for SMEs (in category c) and even less for actors in categories d and e. New ways must be found to ensure that information may freely circulate horizontally as well as vertically (see p. 7) in order to fertilize all project deliverables while, at the same time, maturing them to the final operational phase (also called usefulness & use ) by end-users, and integrating them into appropriate policy implementation and development. 3.3 Why build a Community of Users? The large span of projects leads to a huge dispersion of resources as no mechanism is presently in place to establish a common platform to exchange information of public character, boost awareness and transfer of relevant (FP7 and H2020) research projects to relevant users (and to industrial/smes share- and stake-holders) and make them useful and used. In addition, efforts will be done to better address users needs which will be reflected into possible inputs to research programming. Another aspect stems from the contribution of scientific progress to policy formulation, implementation and review which also requires better coordination. This awareness is readily made for the FP7 projects resulting from the Secure programme (SEC), a large part of which is managed by the Research Executive Agency (REA). Information exchanges occur even less among SEC projects and projects managed by other DGs. This lack of a sharing platform led to the idea of developing a Community of Users along the principle shown in Figure 2. A Community of Users will benefit from a better coordination of information exchanges of general nature through a visible platform. This can hardly be done without resources and by the sole officials in charge of the projects. Two Demonstration Projects (EDEN for CBRN-E, DRIVER for Crisis Management) acted as catalysts for the first phase of development of such a Community of Users ( ). Both projects inter alia aim to demonstrate the added value of large scale integration of solutions (related to various risks) and to support Member States preparedness and response organisations in improving integration and information sharing in countering various threats. They have both their own specificities and user s platform in the framework of which confidential information is shared among the partners, and the proposed Community of Users will naturally not interfere with these specific fora. Other FP7 and H2020 projects have also the capacity to help the Community of User s development and contribute effectively to exchanges of information and practices. This is one of the objectives of the initiative. ȝȝ Often working at the interface between policy and science, various stakeholders are involved in bridging interests of different communities, e.g. consultancy companies b. Scientists ȝȝ Security research involves a wide range of scientific disciplines which have to interact, ensure complementarity and build interdisciplinary networks ȝȝ Different types of scientists are to be considered (universities, research institutes, research units linked to Defence/Interior ministries or agencies) c. Industry (including SMEs) ȝȝ Many industry branches and stakeholders are involved in the areas of defence, forensics, civil protection etc. Research results can benefit most first responders Different communication approaches to be followed towards large industries and SMEs often disconnected from discussions at EU level d. Practitioners ȝȝ First responders, i.e. fire brigades, emergency services, police forces, civil protection units, military units, laboratories, water/flood management etc. as well as Decision-makers (at national or regional levels) ȝȝ Training centres for first responders, command control centres e. NGOs and general public ȝȝ NGOs, Civil Society Organisations, public at large, education (schools) and training Figure 2. Principles of the Community of Users The intention of the Community of Users is hence to provide an umbrella at EU level (with connexions at international level) which will provide an overall outlook (based on publicly available information) of science and policy developments in the relevant sectors.

10 18 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) Targeting Readers 4.1 Key Actors / Levels Key actors who have a role and interest in the objectives and implementation of security-related research programmes or projects include users (direct beneficiaries), as well as those responsible for ensuring that the results are produced as planned, and those who are accountable for the legal framework and resources that they provide to that programme or project3. In the field of security, three categories of stakeholders are considered as users of products, technologies, services and processes developed by suppliers in various fields of security4: ȝȝ Operators / Practitioners / End-users - Field experts who operate in their everyday duties the security products, technologies and services purchased by customers for the benefit of the general public, e.g. first responders (firefighters, policemen, medical personnel), border control agents, etc. In many projects, the terms operators, practitioners and end-users can be used indistinctly whereas the term users covers a wider concept in which end-users are part of as a distinct subcategory. Operators as practitioners and end-users rather have a technology point of view and take the perspective of support to the products and technologies. They represent the backbone of the innovation system and infrastructure. ȝȝ Customers - Persons, companies, or other public and private entities which take decisions on purchasing the products, technologies, services and implementation of processes to be used by operators for the benefit of the general public, e.g. airport managers, public health agencies, civil protection authorities, hospitals. They are interested in the functionality of innovative solutions and make decisions on the uptake of such solutions. ȝȝ Consumers / General public - EU citizens who benefit from the security products, technologies, services and processes and pay for them indirectly (e.g. through paying taxes, buying flight tickets, paying for health care services, drugs and vaccines, etc.). The general public today has increasing opportunities to influence the design, introduction and trajectory of new technologies and services in both private and public sectors. Consumers also have the ability to directly influence innovation and encourage the development of new technologies. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis by governments on the importance of collaboration with citizens and service users as drivers for innovation to improve service delivery5.

11 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) Communication channels Targeting readers and ensuring appropriate communication channels should hence consider the point of view of: -- The above specified 3 categories of users of security products, technologies, services and processes. -- Technology suppliers: academic researchers, RTOs, SMEs and large industry. -- Regulators and policy-makers, i.e., members of European, intergovernmental and/or governmental regulatory agencies that ensure compliance with laws, regulations, established rules, as well as individuals who set the plan pursued by a European, intergovernmental and/or governmental institution level, having the authority to set the policy framework of an organisation. These different categories and subcategories of stakeholders are illustrated in Figure 3. Figure 3. Categories of Security Stakeholders 21

12 22 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) Policy Background 5.1 General Framework A large span of sectors and policies cover secure, safe and resilient society s issues in a direct or indirect way, either by providing legally-binding frameworks of actions by EU Member States in the form of Directives, general frameworks in the form of Communications or technical specifications in the form of Decisions, for example. Figure 4 gives an illustration of the different families of EU General Directorates as well as Intergovernmental Agencies. covered by environmental and climate policies (DG ENV, in particular the Flood Directive 10 and DG CLIMA through the EU climate change adaptation strategy 11 ). Finally, intergovernmental agencies are also involved in security policies, namely the European External Action Service (EEAS) which implements the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy and Europol which is the EU Law Enforcement Agency. Both agencies assist EU Member States. There are also links with the Council Decision 2014/415/EU on the arrangements for the implementation by the Union of the solidarity clause, which covers response, situational awareness and analysis and threat assessment at Union level. Other key EU policies concern industrial competitiveness and innovation, namely the EU Industrial Policy 12 which aims to boost industrial competitiveness and innovation (thus the access to market of developed technologies) and the EU research policy represented by Horizon With regards to CBRN-E, the key EU policy is represented by the CBRN Action Plan 14 (DG HOME) and the EU Action Plan on Enhancing the Security of Explosives 15 which are to expire at the end of 2015; the Regulation 98/2013 on the Marketing and Use of Explosives Precursors 16 has entered into force and is directly applicable to all MS. Other EU policies include CBRN as a focal point, namely in the sectors of Civil Protection and Consumer Health Protection (see above), as well as Energy Infrastructure and Transport Networks 17 (DGs ENER and MOVE), Customs 18 (DG TAXUD), Environment and Industrial Risks 19 (DG ENV) and International Cooperation, e.g. CBRN-E Centres of Excellence (DG DEVCO). Complementary to EU policies, international policies are also active in Disaster Risk and Crisis Management. In the case of CBRN-E, various conventions exist, namely the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1540, the Chemical Weapon Convention (CWC controlled by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, OPCW), the Biological and Toxin Weapon Convention (BTWC without control mechanisms), and the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT controlled by the International Atomic Energy Agency, IAEA). In the field of Disaster Risk Management, Disaster Risk Reduction has been the core action line of the United Nations Hyogo Framework for Action on how to mitigate the impact of natural and man-made disasters, now continued by the Sendai Framework for Action setting priorities for the period, among which the promotion of a better understanding of disaster risk management through the building, sharing and development of knowledge and the strengthening of the policy-science interface at local, national, regional and global levels. Figure 4. The EU Policy Landscape Crisis Management policies follow an integrated approach for the management of natural and man-made hazards focusing on disaster risk reduction (prevention and preparedness) and disaster response. The policy is mainly represented by the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (UM) 6, and the operational dimension is coordinated by the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC). Disaster risk management is also addressed through the EU Internal Security Strategy 7 and the resulting European Agenda on Security adopted in April (DG HOME) and Consumer Health Protection policies (DG SANCO) 9. In addition, climate-related disasters are The implementation of these policies represents a complex and ambitious challenge as they involve a wide variety of players whereas each Member State often follows specific national approaches (national action plans) for dealing with crises and are also differently organised in terms of disaster risk management capabilities. The EU framework represents a means and a real opportunity to discuss possible ways to improve coordination among the various national approaches and develop a common EU vision strengthened by a joint strategy in this field. The development of a Community of Users is, in this respect, an essential component to bring together key scientific, policy and industry actors, as well as other stakeholders (e.g. first responders, police representatives, fire fighters, civil protection units) around this common vision and strategy. This is closely linked to the EU industrial policy 20 under the responsibility of DG GROW, the EU research policy 21 coordinated by DG R&I and involving DG HOME (Secure Programme), DG CNECT and JRC, the EU civil protection policy managed by DG ECHO, as well as the EU environmental and climate policies coordinated by DG ENV and CLIMA respectively. 6 Decision 1313/ Internal Security Strategy for the European Union: Towards a Eropean Security Model, 5842/2/ The European Agenda on Security, COM(2015) 185 final 9 Decision 1082/ Directive 2007/60/EC 11 COM (2013) 216 final 12 COM(2012) 417 final COM(2009) 273 final and COM(2014) 247 final 15 Council of the European Union, EU Action Plan on Enhancing the Security of Explosives 16 Regulation 98/ Regulation 347/2013 and Decision 661/ COM(2012) 793 final 19 Directive 2012/18/EU 20 COM (2010) 2020 final 21 COM (2011) 152 final

13 24 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) EU Civil Protection Mechanism and related international policies The UM 22 aims to facilitate reinforced cooperation between the EU and the Member States and to facilitate coordination in the field of civil protection, in order to improve the effectiveness of systems for preventing, preparing for and responding to natural and man-made disasters. It supports and complements the efforts of the Member States for the protection, primarily of people but also of the environment and property, including cultural heritage, in the event of natural and man-made disasters, acts of terrorism and technological, radiological or environmental accidents, including marine pollution. Built upon these policy instruments, the UM is about developing an integrated approach to disaster management. The EU action is based on the principles of solidarity. The overall mechanism takes due consideration of laws and international commitments, and exploit synergies with relevant Union initiatives such as the European Earth Observation Programmes (Copernicus), the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP) and the Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE). The mechanism is based on the Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC) and the European Emergency Response Capacity (EERC) in the form of voluntary pool of pre-committed capacities from the Member States, trained experts, a Common Emergency Communication and Information System (CECIS) managed by the Commission and contact points in the MS. It also recognises the role of regional and local authorities in disaster management. Outside the Union, disaster response is coordinated with the United Nations and other relevant international actors with reference to Council Regulation No 1257/96 concerning humanitarian aid 23.. Finally, the use of military means under civilian leads as a last resort may constitute an important contribution to disaster response. On technical grounds, the UM is working towards a general policy framework on disaster risk prevention aimed at achieving a higher level of protection and resilience against disasters by preventing or reducing their effects and by fostering a culture of prevention. From this perspective, it promotes the review of risk assessment, risk management planning conducted at national/regional level and the development of an integrated approach, linking risk prevention, preparedness and response actions. On the basis of information received from the EU Member States, the European Commission establishes and regularly updates a cross-sectoral risk overview. Among its priorities is the action to improve the knowledge base on disaster risks and facilitate the sharing of knowledge, best practices and information 24. The UM is closely related to the Sendai Framework for Action Building the resilience of nations and communities to disasters which is the successor of the Hyogo Framework for Action adopted by 168 UN Member States that voluntarily committed to work towards achieving its objectives, in particular improving disaster resilience and disaster risk reduction as a necessary ingredient for the achievement of poverty reduction and sustainable development. The Sendai Framework for Action sets out an ambitious set of priorities to place disaster risk reduction as a key element of sustainable development efforts, to define further steps to reduce existing and emerging risks and foster disaster resilience. As stressed in Council Conclusions on this matter, the EU supports a framework which strengthens the contribution of disaster risk management to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth by promoting the use and development of innovative technologies and encouraging a more systematic and reinforced science-policy interface in disaster risk management. These objectives are supported by IPCC recommendations expressed in the special report on extreme events 26. The UM is also financing actions related to preventing, preparing for and responding to disasters. These include: an important EU Civil protection training programme, regular large-scale exercises and modules exercises, exchange of experts, prevention and preparedness projects (through annual calls for applications 27 ), logistical and transport support for response missions, deployment of coordination, assessment or advisory missions, adaptation and certification of assets to be included in the Voluntary Pool, the availability of buffer capacities under the Voluntary Pool (additional assets than those made available by the Member States). In the area of marine pollution these actions are coordinated with the European Maritime Safety Agency and the regional sea conventions. 5.3 Critical Infrastructure Protection The new approach to the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection 28 (EPCIP) is built on a review of the 2006 programme and the Council Directive 2008/114/EC 29 on the identification and designation of European critical infrastructures and the assessment of the need to improve their protection. It aims to ensure a high degree of protection of EU infrastructures and increase their resilience (against all threats and hazards). It looks at interdependencies between critical infrastructures, industry and state actors, taking account of the cross border dimension and interdependencies between sectors (e.g. European high-voltage electricity grid). The EPCIP established (1) procedures for the identification and designation of European critical infrastructures and assessment of the need to improve their protection (Directive 2008/114/EC); (2) measures to facilitate its implementation, including an action plan, CIWIN, CIP expert groups at EU level and information sharing process; (3) funding for CIP-related measures and projects focussing on Prevention, Preparedness and Consequence Management of Terrorism and other Security Related Risks ; and (4) an external dimension for engagement with third countries on CIP. At the time of publication of the revised approach (2013), less than 20 European Critical Infrastructures had been designated and hence very few Operator Security Plans had been produced; the number of ECI designated has since increased substantially. The Directive 2008/114/EC has mainly encouraged bilateral engagement of Member States instead of a real European forum for cooperation the sector-focused approach of the directive represents a challenge to a number of MS as in practice the analysis of criticalities is not confined to sectoral boundaries and follows rather a system or service approach (e.g. hospitals, financial services). There is a need for a cross-sectoral approach development. In practical terms, development of preparedness strategies are based around contingency planning, stress tests, awareness raising, training, joint courses, exercises and staff exchange. The programme also promotes the dialogue between the operators of the critical infrastructures and those who rely upon them in order to better prepare responses to events affecting European critical infrastructures. The gaps identified in the review of the EPCIP led the Commission to present its new approach to the implementation of the EPCIP in 2013, with a greater focus on interdependencies and proposing practical work with four critical infrastructures of a European dimension (Eurocontrol, Galileo, the electricity transmission grid and the gas transmission network). The guidelines for trans-european energy infrastructure 30 are built upon the Communication of 28 February 2011 entitled Energy infrastructure priorities for 2020 and beyond A blueprint for an integrated European energy network ; it stipulates that the Union s energy infrastructure should be upgraded in order to prevent technical failure and to increase its resilience against such failure, natural or man-made disasters, adverse effects of climate change and threats to its security, in particular as regards European Critical Infrastructures and the assessment of the need to improve their protection. Creating the environment for safe transport is essential for European citizens. EU transport policies 31 cover a wide range of security and safety policies in the air, road, maritime and rail areas which all relate to technical standards for preventing / detection risks and responding to major threats, including terrorist attacks, crimes and accidents. In order to maintain proper security levels cooperation with third countries is paramount and the Commission consolidates and strengthens security by working together with major international partners, exchanging experiences and best practices. Security in transport also relies on new technologies that can really assist in developing smooth high-security systems for the future but without making the security checks too long and intense. 22 Council Decision 2007/779/EC, OJ L 314, Council Regulation No 1257/96, OJ L 163, Art.5.1(a), Council Decision No. 1313/2013/EU, Official Journal of the European Union, L347, Special Report on Managing the Risks of Extreme Events and Disasters to Advance Climate Change Adaptation (SREX), SWD(2013) 318 final 29 Council Directive 2008/114/EC, OL L345/75 30 Regulation (EU) no 347/2013 of 17 April 2013, OJ L115/39 of

14 26 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) CBRN and Explosives From the above, it is clear that Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosive (CBRN-E) threats are covered by a range of policies. In views of improving coordination of actions related to CBRN-E risk management, the European Commission has issued strategic documents which main features are described below regarding technical challenges CBRN Action Plan The CBRN Action Plan aimed to ensure that unauthorised access to CBRN materials of concern is as difficult as possible. Prevention is based on robust risk-assessment processes, which include the prioritisation, security and control of high-risk CBRN materials and facilities, developing a high-security culture of staff, improving the security of transport, information exchange, import and export regimes, and strengthening cooperation on the security of nuclear materials. Key Actions defined in the Plan are designed to reduce threat and damage from CBRN incidents of accidental, natural and intentional origin, including terrorist threats. It is a political commitment which may be seen as a roadmap of intentions guided by principles of EU solidarity (the responsibility of protecting populations against CBRN incidents lays with the Member States), EU added value (respecting principles of subsidiarity and proportionality), based on existing regulations and instruments, and in close consultation with national authorities. Actions are based on risk- and threat assessments and cost-effective assessments. Confidentiality of certain types of information is taken into account. Actions have been financially supported by expired and existing Union programmes and fund 32, 33. The plan aims to efficiently respond to incidents involving CBRN materials and recover from them as quickly as possible. Specific attention is made to CBRN emergency planning, strengthening countermeasure capacity, reinforcing information flows, developing better modelling tools and improving criminal investigation capacity. The plan focuses on the required capability to detect CBRN materials in order to prevent or respond to CBRN incidents. This is related to the development of minimum detection standards to be applied across the entire EU, establishing trialling, testing and certification schemes for CBRN detection and improving the exchange of good practices on the detection of CBRN materials. The Plan promotes a scenario-based/modelling approach at EU level to identify work priorities in the detection field (identification of CBRN material and detection technologies), wide risk assessment (including events with cross-border effects) built on existing scenarios and national experience, and gap analysis; it supports the exchange of methods and procedures for developing scenarios and modelling, interconnecting detectors at national levels where feasible including data on incidents, coordination of exercises and lessons learnt. It also promotes a mechanism of information exchange among Member States on methodologies of scenario development related to sampling and detection, taking appropriate confidentiality into account. In the specific area of biological pathogens and toxins, the Plan promotes the development of detection models, considering distribution, possible vectors, infectious dose and stability. The CBRN Action Plan is complemented by the new EU approach to the detection and mitigation of CBRN-E risks which adopts a proactive approach to the detection of threats, and proposes among others to put effective, proportional safeguards in place, including prevention, preparedness and response measures at EU level with the objective to better assess the risks, to develop countermeasures, to share knowledge and best practices, test and validate new safeguards with the ultimate goal of adopting new security standards. The response mechanisms within the CBRN Action Plan are linked to various EU policy instruments such as the EU Mechanism for Civil Protection (see section 5.2), the EU Integrated Political Crisis Response Arrangements (IPCR), the implementation of the Solidarity Clause, the ARGUS crisis management system allowing for an immediate exchange of information among Commission rapid alert systems such as the ECURIE system for radiological emergencies, the Early Warning and Response System (EWRS) for communicable diseases, and the RAS-BICHAT for biological and chemical health threat Explosive Action Plan and Regulation 98/2013 The enhancement of the security of explosives has been identified as a priority issue for the European Commission in its efforts in the field of combating terrorism. Home-made explosives can be fabricated from certain easily accessible chemical precursors and can be misused by terrorists to inflict casualties and damage. In order to mitigate the risk of such misuse, in 2008 the Justice and Home Affairs Council approved the EU Action Plan on Enhancing the Security of Explosives. The Action Plan thus contributes to the implementation of the EU Counter Terrorism Strategy (2005) and is in line with the Internal Security Strategy (2010). The EU Explosives Action Plan contains 48 measures related to the prevention, detection, and preparedness and response to explosives-related incidents. The recommendations for action address a comprehensive range of relevant aspects, such as precursors, storage, transport, traceability, detection, research, information exchange, and inter-agency coordination. A first set of horizontal measures aims at improving the exchange of timely information and best practices, and supporting and promoting research, including research into inhibitors to precursors. A second set of measures focuses on prevention around explosives precursors, by raising staff awareness, increasing control over substances and explosives available on the market (including pyrotechnics), and establishing a mechanism for reporting suspicious transactions. Other prevention measures cover the security of explosives facilities and transport, as well as the security vetting of personnel at any stage in the supply chain. The action plan calls, in addition, for increased efforts to reduce the presence of bomb-making information over the internet. A third set of actions focuses on the detection of explosives threats. The plan has as a priority to establish a scenario-based approach to identifying priorities in the detection field, notably to identify detection technology requirements, current equipment that is available, and common minimum detection standards which should be applied. In the area of detection, the action plan recognises that there is an urgent need for improved exchange of information between authorities, researchers, and end-users, particularly in order to establish an EU-wide certification, testing and trialling scheme for the detection of explosives, and to continuously reassess the use of detection technologies in specific locations. Finally, a set of preparedness and response measures call on the creation of a network which improves the exchange of information and best practices among explosives ordnance disposal units in Europe, and also supports the development of threat assessments on explosives and on specific threats. The actions contained in the EU Explosives Action Plan are implemented through a joint effort of the European Commission, Member States, Europol, research institutions as well as private sector stakeholders. DG HOME aimed at fully achieving implementation by the end of One of the key actions of the EU Explosives Action Plan called on the Commission to consider measures to regulate the availability of explosives precursors on the market. As a result of the work done to implement this action, Regulation (EU) 98/2013 on the marketing and use of explosives precursors was adopted with a view to enhancing the protection of citizens from the threat of homemade explosives. Regulation 98/2013 came into force on 2 September It restricts availability, possession and use, by members of the general public, of seven dangerous substances ( restricted explosives precursors, listed in Annex I). Member States may decide to grant access by the public to these substances only through a system of licenses and registration. In addition, the Regulation introduces obligations for economic operators who place such substances on the market. Operators must ensure the appropriate labelling of restricted explosives precursors, and must also report any suspicious transactions involving both the seven restricted substances and eight other non-restricted substances which are also considered of concern (listed in Annex II). 32 OJ L 58, , p Prevention, Preparedness and Consequence Management of Terrorism and other Security related risks 33 OJ L 150, , p. 93 Internal Security Fund - Police

15 28 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) International Conventions At international level, the EU strategy against Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD strategy), together with relevant Community s, in particular the for Stability (supporting third countries to develop training and assistance on CBRN risk mitigation and preparedness), reinforces actions on reducing the risks from CBRN materials. This is linked to nuclear non-proliferation for strengthening nuclear security 34. Furthermore, the Implementation of the UN Security Council Resolution 1540 will be further strengthened by supporting the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in particular contributing to more efficient export control and border monitoring systems. Regional Centres of Excellence will be instrumental in order to exchange best practices, support capacity building and share experiences gathered at EU level with key regions. Issues related to the threat of CBRN materials are also discussed by international organisations such as the Organisation for the Prevention of Chemical Weapons (OPCW), the BTWC Conference, Interpol and the Global Health Security Initiative (GHSI). 5.5 Major accident hazards Major accidents can have consequences beyond the limits of industrial establishments and the human, ecological and economic costs of an accident are borne not only by the establishment affected, but also by the society concerned. It is therefore necessary to establish and apply safety and risk-reduction measures to prevent possible accidents, to reduce the risks of accidents occurring and to minimise the effects if they do occur, thereby making it possible to ensure a high level of protection throughout the Union. The Directive 2012/18/EU (on major-accidents hazards involving dangerous substances) 35 sets risk management goal oriented objectives based on the fact that operators are obliged to take all necessary measures to prevent major accidents and to limit their consequences for human health or the environment. The Directive 2012/18/EU is better known as the so-called Seveso III directive; it replaced the previous Directive 96/82/EC ( Seveso II ) which was repealed in May The Directive lays down rules for the prevention of major accidents which involve dangerous substances and the limitation of their consequences for human health and the environment, and criteria for the obligations are based on the maximum amounts of the hazardous substances that are, or are likely to be present in the establishment (industrial plant) in the potential course of the accident. The Directive is focused on the un-intentional (accidental, including natural hazards) potential events in the establishments, thus usually not related to the intentional acts (attacks) and is excluding the military establishments, pipelines, as well as the transportation outside establishments. It does not focus on the cause of an (unintentional or intentional) accident but is rather impact-oriented. The safety report has to consider operational causes, natural causes and external causes (although the text does not explicitly mention causes such as sabotage), and is complemented by CIP regulations for attack-prone installations. At international level, the Convention on the Transboundary Effects of Industrial Accidents (TEIA) 36 of UNECE (UN Economic Commission for Europe) is designed to protect people and the environment against industrial accidents, aiming to prevent accidents from occurring, or reducing their frequency and severity and mitigating their effects if required. The Convention promotes active international cooperation between countries before, during and after an industrial accident. It therefore closely cooperates with the EU, in particular in the framework of the Seveso III Directive implementation. The TEIA has also close links with the Sendai Framework for Action (see section 5.2). 5.6 Serious cross-border threats to health The protection of human health is a matter which has a cross-cutting dimension and is relevant to numerous Union policies and activities. The Commission should ensure, in liaison with the Member States, the coordination and exchange of information between the mechanisms and structures established under the Decision 1082/2013/ EU on serious cross-border threats to health 4 as well as activities which are relevant to the preparedness and response planning, monitoring, early warning of, and combating serious cross-border threats to health. Pursuant to Decision 2119/98/EC a network for the epidemiological surveillance and control of communicable diseases in the Community has been set up. Apart from communicable diseases, a number of other sources of danger to health, in particular related to other biological or chemical agents or environmental events, which include hazards related to climate change, could by reason of their scale or severity, endanger the health of citizens in the entire Union, lead to the malfunctioning of critical sectors of society and the economy and jeopardise an individual Member State s capacity to react. The legal framework set up under the above Decision should, therefore, be extended to cover other threats and provide for a coordinated wider approach to health security at Union level. In the context of this Decision, an important role in the coordination of recent crises of Union relevance has been played by an informal group composed of high-level representatives from Member States, referred to as the Health Security Committee, and established on the basis of the Presidency Conclusions of 15 November 2001 on bioterrorism. The Decision promotes preparedness and response planning through consultation among the Member States and the Commission in order to share best practice and experience, as well as interoperability of national preparedness planning and addressing the intersectoral dimension of preparedness and response planning at Union level. The Health Security Committee plays an important role in responding to health threats (notably in terms of crisis preparation, exercises on CBRN events and the listing of pathogens and chemicals which pose a health threat) whilst the European Centre for Disease and Control (ECDC) provides risk assessments for communicable diseases and biological incidents. 5.7 EU Adaptation Strategy to Climate Change The EU Adaptation Strategy to Climate Change highlights the consequences of climate change and the need for adaptation measures. It focuses on early, planned and coordinated action rather than reactive adaptation. The communication highlights the need for systematic exchanges of best practice on how to best adapt to climate change. The strategy takes account of global climate change impacts such as disruptions to supply chains or impaired access to raw materials, energy and food supplies. The overall aim is to contribute to a more climate resilient Europe by enhancing the preparedness and capacity to respond to the impacts of climate change at local, regional, national and EU levels, developing a coherent approach and improving coordination. This strategy is closely linked to national adaptation strategies which are considered as recommended instruments by the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. A close coordination between climate change adaptation and disaster risk management / policies is also required. Development is foreseen of guidelines on minimum standards for disaster prevention based on good practices. The requirement for climate-proofing and mainstreaming of adaption measures in various sectors also calls for strengthened preparedness and science-policy links. The strategy makes reference, in particular, to the Marine Framework Directive (Directive 2008/56/EC) 37 and various environmental policies, related to e.g. Forestry (EC Regulation 2152/2003), Water (Directives listed in the COM(2012)673 on the Blueprint to Safeguard Europe s Water Resources 38 ), as well as other sectors such as Transport (Decision 661/2010/EC), Energy (COM(2011)665/3), and the above described Disaster Risk Prevention (within the Union Civil Protection mechanism) and Health (Decision 1082/2013). 34 COM(2009) 143 final, Directive 2012/18/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on major-accidents hazards involving dangerous substances, amending and subsequently repealing Council Directive 96/82/EC, Official Jornal of the EU, No. L 197/1, Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishing a framework for community action in the field of marine environmental policy (Marine Strategy Framework Directive), OJ L 164/19 38 COM(2012) 673 final

16 30 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) Water and Marine policies Linked to the above, specific policy instruments are in place in the water sector related to extreme hydrometeorological events such as floods and droughts. In the first place, complementing the Water Framework Directive (WFD) 39 (and its daughter Directives, namely the Priority Substances Directive 40 and the Groundwater Directive 41, flood prevention and management are tackled by the Flood Directive which requires EU Member States to assess and manage flood risks, with the aim of reducing adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity associated with floods in Europe. This directive has to be coordinated with the implementation of the WFD from the second river basin management plan onward (which will take place from 2015 to 2021). It therefore provides a comprehensive mechanism for assessing and monitoring increased risks of flooding, taking into account the possible impacts of climate change, and for developing appropriate adaptation approaches. Water scarcity and droughts are also considered in the policy context 42. In particular, a European assessment of water scarcity and droughts has been conducted by the European Commission in the framework of the Water Scarcity and Drought Communication to monitor changes across Europe and to identify where further action is needed in response to climate change. Recommendations have been taken on board in the Blueprint to Safeguard Europe s Water Resources. It may, therefore, be considered that the successive steps of the WFD River Basin Management Planning (RBMP) and the related flood and drought policy framework may conveniently incorporate adaptation to climate-related water risks through risk assessment, monitoring, environmental objective setting, economic analysis and action programmes to achieve well defined environmental objective. The Drinking Water Directive (DWD) 43 regulates the quality of water intended for human consumption. The Directive is currently under evaluation as a follow-up of the European Citizens Initiative (ECI) Right2Water 44. The policy concerns the quality of drinking water from around 100,000 water supplies. It aims to protect human health by ensuring that drinking water at the consumer tap is wholesome and clean. It lays down essential quality standards at EU level, for which monitoring programmes have to be performed. For any failure remedial action has to be taken. Its intervention logic was to address all possible contamination causes, including from treatment and distribution, by setting strict minimum parametric values to be complied with at the consumer tap. It thus implicitely includes deliberate poisoining risks. The abstraction of drinking water and the protection of water bodies for this aim is, however, not regulated in the DWD, but in Article 7 of the above mentioned Water Framework Directive (WFD), which requires Member States to identify bodies of water for the abstraction of drinking water and to protect them, so that the resulting water will meet the DWD requirements under the water treatment regime applied. Finally, while the protection of the (coastal) marine environment is covered by the WFD, EU environmental policymakers considered there was a lack of strategy underpinning the policies to protect the marine environment. A strategy was thus developed in the sixth Environmental Action Programme ( ) which resulted in setting up environmental objectives for the marine environment. The related protection regime is regulated under the EU Marine Strategy which was adopted in Directive 2000/60/EC 40 Directive 2013/39/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 August 2013 amending Directives 2000/60/EC and 2008/105/EC as regards priority substances in the field of water policy, OJ L 226/1 41 Directive 2006/118/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on the protection of groundwater against pollution and deterioration, OJ L COM(2007) 414 final 43 Council Directive 98/83/EC of 3 November 1998 on the quality of water intended for human consumption, OJ L 330, , p Communication from the Commission on the European Citizens Initiative Water and sanitation are a human right! Water is a public good, not a commodity! COM/2014/0177 final 45 EU Marine Strategy Framework Directive, 2008/56/EC 5.9 Control of export and Union Custom Code The Council Regulation (EC) no 428/2009 on a Community regime for the control of exports, transfer, brokering and transit of dual-use items 46 is setting rules that Member States have to apply to control the transfer of certain dual-use items within the Community in order to safeguard public policy or public security. This includes the effectiveness of controls on exports from the Community and those items which only pass through the territory of the Community (i.e. not assigned to a customs-approved treatment or use other than the external transit procedure or placed in a free zone or warehouse with no record of them). EU customs policy for security and trade facilitation 47 aim to facilitate legitimate trade whilst applying the level of controls necessary for guaranteeing the safety and security of citizens and protecting the public health, environment, financial and economic interests of the EU and its Member States. The increase in global terrorism has expanded customs to become a major player in the field of supply chain security. The deployment of detection technologies plays an essential role Border security In the framework of the Communication Examining the creation of a European Border Surveillance System (EUROSUR) 48, support needed in the area of border security targeted the development of technologies and capabilities which are required to enhance systems, equipment, tools, processes, and methods for rapid identification to improve border security, whilst respecting human rights and privacy. This includes both control and surveillance issues, contributing to the further development of the EUROSUR and promoting an enhanced use of new technology for border checks; also in relation to the Smart Borders legislative initiative (for both EUROSUR and the Smart Borders, the Commission published the initial relevant communications on 13 February 2008). At sea, the main technical challenge was identified in the detection and identification of small non cooperative vessels (and of their anomalous behaviour). At the system level the identified priority was to improve the sharing of information amongst actors active in maritime surveillance. A close interactive dialogue has taken place with other Commission DGs (DG HOME, DG MARE, DG JRC, DG MOVE) as well as with EU agencies (Frontex, EMSA and EDA). This helps the setting by the Frontex Agency of CONOPS (concepts of operations) as related to the detection small boats detection Fight against crime and terrorism Regarding the fight against crime and terrorism, the European Commission is not in charge of operational activities but supports and facilitates the activities of the security practitioners at the EU level. The main policy framework for this action is provided by the European Agenda on Security (COM(2015) 185 final) adopted on 28th April 2015, which provides strategic focus for the EU and Member States for the overall goal of strengthening the Union s security framework. The three pillars of the Union s action to obtain this goal are: to strengthen the information exchange; to increase the operational cooperation; and to provide support in training, funding, research and innovation. The main thematic priorities listed in the Agenda are: terrorism, organised crime and cybercrime. A Communication on the delivery of the Agenda on Security (COM(2016) 230 final) has been adopted in April It acknowledges the common position of the European Parliament, the EU Ministers for Justice and Home Affairs and the Commission to press ahead with the measures foreseen and to deepen the fight against terrorism. For this reason, the Communication, one year on from the presentation of the Agenda, takes stock of the progress that has been made in its implementation as concerns the EU contribution to counter-terrorism. 46 OJ L 134/1 of Regulation (EU) no 952/

17 32 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) 33 In addition to the Agenda, a number of more specific EU legislative and policy documents apply in the area of fight against crime and terrorism. Two of the most relevant ones are the Regulation (EU) No 98/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 January 2013 on the marketing and use of explosives precursors, and the Communication COM(2016) 379 final on supporting the prevention of radicalisation leading to violent extremism. Also, on 13 and 14 December 2011, the Council approved conclusions (17537/11 ENFOPOL 413 COPEN 342) on the vision for European Forensic Science 2020 including the creation of a European Forensic Science Area and the development of forensic science infrastructure in Europe. Their aim was to foster cooperation between police and judicial authorities across the European. An action plan has been developed under the Dutch presidency which should be adopted as Council conclusions in June Furthermore, the Commission assists EU Member States in the implementation of existing legal instruments such as e.g. the Data Retention Directive, the Decision on access for consultation of the Visa Information System etc.[1]. The EC also participates in specialised working groups of the Council such as COSI, and agencies such as Europol and CEPOL. Finally support to security practitioners is also granted via the financing of national and multi-national projects that enhance police cooperation, including among police networks.

18 34 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) EU- s - Research and Capacity-Building 6.1 Introduction As highlighted in section 4.1, EU research funding is orchestrated by different research families, namely various programmes of DG RTD, DG CNECT and DG HOME, as well as research actions undertaken by the Joint Research Centre (JRC). Other funding instruments focus on capacity-building and training (e.g. prevention, preparedness and response projects in disaster risk management funded by DG ECHO, security-related projects funded by DG HOME) but they will not be developed in this document. Linked to EU research actions, the European Defense Agency (EDA) funds research projects with interactions with DG HOME funded projects under the so-called European Framework Cooperation (EFC). While research programming and policy responsibilities lay with the respective General-Directorates of the European Commission, the management of projects is increasingly delegated to sister agencies, namely the Research Executive Agency (REA) and the Executive Agency for SMEs (EASME). 6.2 Horizon 2020 Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation programme ever with nearly 80 billion of funding available over 7 years (2014 to 2020) in addition to the private investment that this money will attract. It promises more breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas from the lab to the market. Horizon 2020 is the financial instrument implementing the Innovation Union, a Europe 2020 flagship initiative aimed at securing Europe s global competitiveness. By coupling research and innovation, Horizon 2020 is helping to achieve this with its emphasis on excellent science, industrial leadership and tackling societal challenges. The goal is to ensure Europe produces world-class science, removes barriers to innovation and makes it easier for the public and private sectors to work together in delivering innovation. In the Security area, Horizon 2020 will contribute to the implementation of the policy goals of the Europe 2020 strategy, the Security Industrial Policy, the Internal Security Strategy, the Cyber Security Strategy 49, the Union Civil Protection Mechanism, as well as supporting the various above-mentioned thematic policies. The primary aim of the Work Programme on Secure societies Protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens is to enhance the awareness, preparedness and resilience of our society against natural and man-made disasters. Crisis Management (including CBRN-E, natural and man-made disaster risk management) related research will be considered in various topics focusing on new crisis management tools, novel solutions for the protection of critical infrastructure, and new forensic tools for fighting crime and terrorism. The current EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation is built up upon achievements of the 7th Framework Programme, which mapping is focused upon and which embedded serveral programmes of direct or indirect relevance to secure, safe and resilient societies, namely: ȝȝ Health, demographic change and wellbeing; ȝȝ Food security, sustainable agriculture and forestry, marine and maritime and inland water research, and the Bioeconomy; ȝȝ Secure, clean and efficient energy; ȝȝ Smart, green and integrated transport; ȝȝ Climate action, environment, resource efficiency and raw materials; ȝȝ Europe in a changing world - inclusive, innovative and reflective societies; ȝȝ Secure societies - protecting freedom and security of Europe and its citizens. 6.3 DG ECHO The overall rationale of the DG ECHO s Programme for Capacity Building is that such investments into the global humanitarian system lead to more rapid and more cost-effective humanitarian responses, allowing a better and broader humanitarian coverage. EU Member States and the European Commission s partners agreed that: supporting the development of the collective global capacity to respond to humanitarian crises is one of the fundamental tenants of our [EU] approach 50. The principal objective of the programme is to strengthen the global humanitarian preparedness and response capacity. Specific objectives are: 1. To increase the effectiveness and reinforce the capacity of international humanitarian organisations and stakeholders to assess, analyse, prepare and respond to humanitarian needs during man-made and /or natural disasters and their immediate aftermath in a coordinated and inclusive manner. 2. To reinforce the capacity of international humanitarian organisations and stakeholders to deliver more varied and appropriate forms of food assistance, during emergencies and their immediate aftermath. 6.4 DG HOME / ISF The goal of the Internal Security Fund, managed by DG HOME, is to contribute to ensuring a high level of security in the EU. One of two general objectives is enhancing the capacity of EU States and the Union for managing effectively security-related risk and crisis, and preparing for protecting people and critical infrastructure against terrorist attacks and other security related incidents. In this context the Fund co-finances projects in the areas of CBRN-E, critical infrastructure protection as well as crisis management. The projects are supposed to be much more operational than those funded under the Horizon The majority of the funds are implemented via the shared management, nevertheless the Commission directly manages as union actions around 1/3 of the total budget (which for the period, slightly over EUR 1 billion). These funds will have to cover however all security-related priorities, i.e. apart from above-mentioned areas, also fight against organized crime and police cooperation mechanisms. 6.5 DG DEVCO - CoE As a matter of new international priority, the European Union decided in 2010 to launch and fund a new concept called CBRN Risk Mitigation Centers of Excellence (CoE), based on a voluntary, cross border, local ownership and, last but not least, bottom up approach. As of today, 52 partner countries joined the initiative, coordinated around 8 regional secretariats based Georgia, Jordan, Algeria, Morocco, Kenya, United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan and The Philippines launched its chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) Centres of Excellence (CoE) initiative (hereinafter the initiative) in May The initiative is designed to strengthen the institutional capacity of non EU countries to mitigate CBRN risks which, if not countered, may constitute a threat to the EU. The origin of these risks can be criminal (proliferation, theft, sabotage and illicit trafficking), accidental (industrial catastrophes, in particular chemical or nuclear, waste treatment and transport) or natural (pandemics but also consequence of natural hazards on CBRN material and facilities). With a budget of 250 million euro for the period, the initiative is the single biggest measure of the long term component of the contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP). The IcSP was designed to provide the European Union with a new strategic tool to address a number of global security and development challenges. The IcSP provides non EU partner countries with technical and financial assistance for risk mitigation and preparedness relating to chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear material or agents. According to the European Parliament and the Council, the measures adopted through the IcSP should be complementary and consistent with measures adopted in pursuit of the EU s common foreign and security policy. The main objectives of the EU CBRN Centres of Excellence initiative are tο strengthen the long term national and regional CBRN governance and capabilities of responsible authorities and administrative infrastructure. 49 COM (2013) 48 final 50 As adopted by the Council, EP and Commission on 18 December, (OJ 2008/C/ 25/01 of ).

19 36 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) 37 The CoE initiative is a provider of tools and means for increased CBRN governance. It facilitates CBRN governmental officials from partner countries, belonging to all relevant ministries and agencies involved in CBRN governance, to meet regularly at the national level but also twice a year at the regional level between CBRN (round tables). This cross agency cooperation is key to stimulate further networking and has been much appreciated by partner countries. It funding for CBRN activities identified and agreed by partner countries during these regional round tables meetings. By implementing these activities, Member States come together and work to create action and provide CBRN governance support. More than fifty CoE projects have been funded in the last 5 years. These activities include a wide variety of formats, such as workshops and trainings, train the trainers programmes, capacity building or even equipment. Interagency cooperation, team building and support for CBRN administrative reforms are also part of these activities. Furthermore, the CoE provides a funding platform and a sound methodology to first assess CRBN gaps needs at the national levels (NAQs with hundreds of supporting questions) which is activated only upon request from a partner country, and, secondly, a methodology to develop CBRN National Action Plans based on the needs assessments. Results are fully confidential and belong entirely to the country.in the last two years, more than 25 partner countries completed their CBRN needs assessments and more than 15 started to develop their own National Action Plans. Some of the first NAPs developed within the initiative will be presented shortly this afternoon by their CoE country representatives. The European External Action Service (EEAS), the body responsible for the EU foreign policy, is responsible for the strategic orientation of the initiative. DG DEVCO International Cooperation and Development is the decision making body and is responsible for implementing the initiative s budget. It prepares the annual action programmes of the IcSP and monitors the work of the main implementing bodies: the Commission s Joint Research Centre (JRC) and the UN Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI). Further detailed info: LIFE+ The LIFE (the Financial for the Environment) Regulation, which was published on 20 December 2013, sets a budget for the next funding period, , of 3.4 billion in current prices. The LIFE programme is the EU s funding instrument for the environment and climate action. The general objective of LIFE is to contribute to the implementation, updating and development of EU environmental and climate policy and legislation by co-financing projects with European added value. The European Commission (DG Environment and DG Climate Action) manages the LIFE programme. The Commission has delegated the implementation of many components of the LIFE programme to the Executive Agency for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (EASME). External selection, monitoring and communication teams provide assistance to the Commission and EASME. The European Investment Bank will manage the two new financial instruments (NCFF and PF4EE). The LIFE programme will contribute to sustainable development and to the achievement of the objectives and targets of the Europe 2020 Strategy, the 7th Union Environmental Action Programme and other relevant EU environment and climate strategies and plans. 6.7 Structural funds Solutions exist that can help our regions become the best that they can be. Today, the EU s emphasis is very much on paving the way for regions to realise their full potential by helping them to capitalise on their innate strengths while tapping into opportunities that offer possibilities for economic, social and environmental progress. Interreg Europe helps regional and local governments across Europe to develop and deliver better policy. By creating an environment and opportunities for sharing solutions, the programme aims to ensure that government investment, innovation and implementation efforts all lead to integrated and sustainable impact for people and place. By building on its forerunner, INTERREG IVC ( ), Interreg Europe aims to get maximum return from the EUR 359 million financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) for To achieve this goal, Interreg Europe offers opportunities for regional and local public authorities across Europe to share ideas and experience on public policy in practice, therefore improving strategies for their citizens and communities. 6.8 Education / Training Erasmus+ is the EU s programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. Its budget of 14.7 billion will provide opportunities for over 4 million Europeans to study, train gain experience, and volunteers abroad. Set to last until 2020, Erasmus+ does not just have opportunities for students. Merging seven prior programmes, it has opportunities for a wide variety of individuals and organisations. Erasmus+ has opportunities for people of all ages, helping them develop and share knowledge and experience at institutions and organisations in different countries. Erasmus+ has opportunities for a wide range of organisations, including universities, education and training providers, think-tanks, research organisations, and private businesses. The aim of Erasmus+ is to contribute to the Europe 2020 Strategy for growth, jobs, social equity and inclusion, as well as the aims of ET2020, the EU s strategic framework for education and training. 6.9 JRC JRC s CBRNE activities The extensive ongoing work in CBRNE in the European Commission s Joint Research Centre is bringing together JRC s competences in chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive risks to respond to the needs of policy DGs in successfully addressing CBRNE as an emerging issue in the EU and in global security. In this context, the JRC collaborates with DG HOME for actions inside the EU in the implementation of the EU CBRN and Explosives action plans, and in aviation security; with DG DEVCO to support the mirroring of activities with partner countries of the EU, acknowledging that security issues are not limited by borders; and with several other partner DGs to fulfil their technical and scientific needs in the CBRNE areas. Security and non-proliferation issues remain an important pillar of the JRC s Euratom activities, extending our support to international safeguards, combating illicit trafficking of nuclear and radioactive materials, enhancing nuclear forensics, export control, and supporting several activities of training (in nuclear safeguards and nuclear and radiological security), as well as research agreements with several institutions in the EU MS. International cooperation with key partners (US, IAEA) in activities such as the Border Monitoring Working Group is also very important in this regard. Finally, standardisation in security is a key issue for the EU market, and the JRC actively supports the development of standards by providing scientific inputs to the European and International technical committees. The activities in CBRNE security are strongly synergic and are aggregated in JRC s CBRNE cluster, currently including 34 projects focused on several key areas: support to the implementation and monitoring of EU CBRN security policy and international cooperation, support to CBRNE standardisation, improving CBRNE detection, optimising the prevention and detection approach to the emergence of new psychoactive drugs, implementing capacity building and training in nuclear security, supporting export control of dual use items, enhancing critical infrastructure protection and developing nuclear forensics. Some examples of JRC s activities in CBRNE security include: The establishment and running of EUSECTRA - European nuclear security training centre, located in the JRC premises in Karlsruhe and Ispra, inaugurated in April EUSECTRA offers hands-on training using a wide variety of radioactive and nuclear materials and a broad selection of equipment and measurement instruments. So far, EUSECTRA has conducted trainings for several partners, among them DG TAXUD (Front Line Officers Training Course on Radiation Detection Techniques; customs experts from all the EU Member States will be trained over in total five sessions between June 2015 and February 2016), DG HOME (training for law enforcement officers being planned) and DG ENER but also external customers such as the US Second Line of Defence programme. It remains at the disposal of MS needs. The JRC leads the ITRAP+10 Phase II project, which aims at testing various families of the RN detection equipment produced in the European Union. Manufacturers of instruments used against illicit trafficking of radioactive sources and nuclear material have been invited to participate in an extensive test programme, based on available IEC and ANSI standards, and IAEA recommendations. The important results of the project have been the basis for the input given to International Standardisation Organisations to review and improve the standards. Also, a certification scheme is being set up to capacitate MS laboratories to perform the same verifications.

20 38 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) 39 The CBRN Centres of Excellence initiative (see section 6.5), launched in 2010 by the European Union, provides a platform for voluntary regional cooperation on all CBRN-related hazard issues, be it of criminal (trafficking, terrorism), natural (pandemics, volcanic eruptions) or accidental (e.g. Fukushima) origin. It also includes the JRC support to the EU outreach activities in export control for dual-use items. The initiative is managed by DG DEVCO and the EEAS, with the technical and scientific support of a task force from the JRC and the collaboration of the United Nations UNICRI institute. The JRC supports countries participating in the initiative to work together to identify risks, assess gaps and needs, draft National Action Plans and design capacity building projects to be implemented in the partner regions by EU MS consortiums. Fifty-two countries are now partners of the initiative, and a further 25 are looking to join. The JRC - Institute for reference materials and measurements (IRMM) supports the development of advanced measurement standards and training in several fields including safety and security linked to CBRN-E threats. For example the institute provides nuclear reference measurements and conformity assessment tools to safeguards authorities, industry and the international community helping to stop illicit trafficking of nuclear and radiological materials. JRC-IRMM reviews and tests the performance of new and existing chemical, biological and explosives threat detection equipment for current and emerging substances of interest, and develops testing protocols for first responder (hand-held) equipment. Scientific studies are performed on request for DG HOME and the Standing Committee for Precursors. JRC-IRMM will also produce explosives simulants as quality control tools to i) check that regulatory requirements for explosives detection equipment are met and ii) to support the end users in the Member States. JRC-IRMM provides impartial analysis and technical support to the continuous development and implementation of EU aviation security policies. JRC- IRMM supports the implementation EU requirements for explosives trace detection (ETD), by i) assisting the Commission s own team of aviation security inspectors, ii) providing reference materials to EU test centres who carry out testing of ETD equipment, and iii) developing training tools for personnel involved in operating ETD equipment at security checkpoints. JRC-IRMM supports a new Commission Regulation aiming at harmonising the certification of aviation security equipment, by providing impartial technical analysis of the conformity assessment practices ERNCIP The Institute for the Protection and the Security of the Citizen of the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission set up the European Reference Network for Critical Infrastructure Protection (ERNCIP) project in 2009 ( This took place under the mandate of the DG HOME, in the context of the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (EPCIP), and with the agreement of Member States. ERNCIP is a European effort with the mission to foster the emergence of innovative, qualified, efficient and competitive security solutions, through networking of European experimental capabilities, with three strategic goals to: Improve the protection of critical infrastructure in the EU Support the development of the EU s single market for security Identify gaps in EU security product testing capabilities. To achieve these goals, ERNCIP maintains an online inventory of experimental capabilities in Europe ( The ERNCIP Inventory ) and has developed a network of experts to identify and promote good test practices to form the basis of common European testing standards, aiming at harmonisation of test methodologies and test protocols, where practical. Currently, ERNCIP brings together over 200 active volunteers in this network. Member States and the Commission jointly define the Thematic Areas (TA) of concern, for ERNCIP to address at the EU level. When the need for a TA is identified, ERNCIP forms a Thematic Group (TG) to address this concern. A TG consists of nominated experts from research facilities, and also other stakeholders such as manufacturers and vendors of security solutions, government authorities, academia, and operators of critical infrastructures. Each group is led by an appointed Coordinator, who is responsible for the work programme for the TG to deliver against, in order to achieve the objectives agreed with ERNCIP Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre (DRMKC) The Knowledge Centre for Disaster Risk Management is an initiative of the European Commission to further enhance and exploit the knowledge and evidence base of the Commission and the EU member states in disaster risk management. The Knowledge Centre adopts a networked approach to the science/knowledgepolicy interface in Disaster Risk Management to support translating complex scientific data and analyses into usable information and provide science-based advice for DRM policies, as well as timely and reliable scientificbased analyses for emergency preparedness and response coordinated activities. The Knowledge Centre could become a focal point of reference to support the work of Member States, relevant Commission services and the wider DRM community within and beyond the EU. For example, through taking up the results of other projects such as FP7 DRIVER, the Knowledge Centre can advise and inform Member States and others on DRM tools and cooperate with other initiatives (Community of Users). In addition, via the international dimension of the Knowledge Centre, the EU could support the Sendai framework for Disaster Risk Reduction to promote a more systematic and reinforced science-policy interface to strengthen the contribution of DRM to smart, sustainable and inclusive growth globally Joint Investment Programme - EDA The European Commission (EC) and the European Defence Agency (EDA) aim at maximising the complementarity and synergy of civilian security and defence-related research activities. This synchronisation of Research & Technology (R&T) investment takes place in the context of the European Framework Cooperation (EFC). In September 2011 the EFC cooperation agreement was signed on the CBRN protection by high representatives of EDA and the EC. The EDA contribution takes the form of a Joint Investment Programme (JIP-CBRN), with a centrally managed budget funded by all contributing Members (cm). The cooperation encompasses research activities identified under the security research theme of the Union s seventh research framework programme (FP7 SEC) and the EDA JIP CBRN. The JIP CBRN is a so called EDA R&T CAT A programme managed by a Management Committee comprising one representative from each cm. This committee is chaired by EDA and also comprises a non-voting representative from the Commission. The Management Committee is in charge of the management of the programme, the technological content and the selection of the proposals. Furthermore, they will follow the projects and do the dissemination of the results. As the JIP CBRN is an R&T Cat A programme, all the outcomes are research results (technology demonstration may be included) to be used by all the contributing Members. Contributing Members of JIP CBRN are Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Spain, France, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Sweden and Norway. The budget allocated to the JIP CBRN programme is 12 Million Euro. CBRN Protection is an important dual use domain in which Member States are prepared to jointly invest at a European level. In view of existing and emerging CBRN threats mid- to long-term, Member States see a need for enhanced technological development to protect against these threats. The ERNCIP Inventory ( is a free-to-use search tool for information on European security experimental and testing facilities. It helps all types of critical infrastructure stakeholders to identify and make contact with CIP-related experimental expertise located in the EU. For the laboratories that are registered in the ERNCIP Inventory it provides greater visibility and increased business potential.

21 40 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) Mapping Eu Policies vs Research In The Light Of Secure, Safety And Resilience Societal Challenges 7.1 Introduction While policies and research programming are designed in a concerted way at EU level (to avoid possible duplications and ensuring best possible complementarity), in practice policy coordination in operational terms (i.e. implementation by Member States) and research synergies are often lagging behind what could be achieved. This is partly due to a lack of matrix which establishes links among different branches of a given sector (in the case of this document, focusing on secure, safe and resilient societies), but this lack of matrix concerns all fields which involve policy, research, industry and training / practitioners). This section proposes a way to establish such a matrix which is not solely linked to given sectors (e.g. internal security, civil protection, health etc.) but to common features of the disaster risk / crisis management cycle and other related issues. A review of different EU policies showed that almost all regulations contain operational elements of (crisis) management cycle, namely detection/surveillance (covering the full cycle), prevention / preparedness and risk assessment (precrisis), situation awareness / early warning (occurrence of an event), response / recovery (post-crisis), and socioeconomic impacts (full crisis cycle). In addition, horizontal and external actions (e.g. international cooperation) also embed operational features that are common to all sectors. Figure 5 below gives an illustration of the various areas covered by this document (both policy and research wise). The mapping of FP7 projects vs. different areas (and policies) are described in the sections below. Figure 5. Various areas covered by the CoU

22 42 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) 43 Complementing the above, a mapping of projects funded under the FP7 Secure programme, as a starting point, has been carried out to establish links among project s objectives and outputs and policy challenges. The mapping has been complemented by projects funded by other FP7 programme and EDA. Based on the mapping elements, and taking into considerations the technical/scientific/training needs of the various EU policies, it has been possible to establish links among these (operational elements / policies) and EU-funded projects (Figure 6). The objective was not to make an impact assessment but to understand the complexity of the matrix and better prepare the ground for a strategy of science-policy-industry- operator s interactions within future Horizon2020 projects. 7.2 Disaster resilience / Crisis management (natural hazards) Most of the research projects listed in this section directly or indirectly support the UM (see section 5.2) which address all aspects of the DRM cycle by strengthening cooperation and facilitating coordination within Europe in the areas of disaster prevention, preparedness and response. The mechanism indeed includes an action to improve the knowledge base on disaster risks and facilitate the sharing of knowledge, best practices and information 51. The use of various Union funds that may support sustainable disaster prevention is promoted and EU Member States and regions are encouraged to exploit those funding opportunities All hazards Series of projects are of generic nature and address tools and technologies related to DRM (from prevention to recovery) that can be applied to all types of (natural) disasters. The inter-operability of tools/technologies is actually mentioned in the CBRN Action Plan and UM as a mean to improve planning of disaster response operations, scenario building and response capacities (of direct support to the ERCC mission). The UM also promotes consistency in the response of disasters (networking), and the support to coordination of operational organisations (UN Offuce for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) and Member States). The following section provides a snapshot of FP7 projects categorised according to specific sectors / themes related to natural hazards Earth observation in support of emergency and disaster management Earth observation tools are mainly developed within projects funded by the Space Programme. The project below (ended in 2012) is an illustration of a project supporting rescue and emergency operations and management. Figure 6.

Addressing the vulnerability of critical infrastructure, the reliability of urban flood defences and construction technologies and concepts for flood-proofing buildings and infrastructure networks to increase the flood-resilience of the urban system as well as for retrofit and repair of flood defences in the most economic and cost beneficial manner. Elements integrated into state-of-the-art flood risk management strategies and tested and validated via pilot study sites. Design and building of portable dam, which can be placed anywhere quickly, easily and does not require much manpower. To aid the mechanical design, electrical sensors can be introduced and used to monitor the system and the river, helping predicting its behaviour and sending warnings to the surrounding areas via wireless communication to help avoid a tragedy. The project derived most of the missing data for validation of time-domain numerical tools for assessment of ship survivability and to develop a standard for a comprehensive measure of damaged ship stability, as a means of addressing systematically, rationally and effectively the risk of flooding. The envisaged standard will reflect the stochastic nature of the damaged ship stability in waves. It will be based on first-principles modeling comprising loss of either (or both), flotation and stability, but also and more importantly ultimate loss of human life. Since risk-based, the standard will form a basis for decision support.

Several research projects aimed to respond to these needs, namely projects by the FP7 Environment programme. DEWFORA Improved Drought Early Warning and FORecasting to strengthen preparedness and adaptation to droughts in Africa FP7 - Environment January 2011 / December 2013 EUR 3,490,000 RTD EU-Africa internation cooperation aiming to develop a framework for the provision of early warning and response to mitigate the impact of droughts in Africa. Key targets were improved monitoring, prototype operational forecasting, knowledge dissemination through a stakeholders platform that includes national and regional drought monitoring and forecasting agencies, as well as NGOs.

WR Nyabeze and Associates Midrand (ZA) DROUGHT-R&SPI Fostering European Drought Research and Science-Policy Interfacing FP7 - Environment October 2011 / March 2015 EUR 818,896 RTD The project will reduce future Europe s vulnerability and risk to drought by innovative in-depth studies that combine drought investigations in six case study areas in water-stressed regions (river basin and national scale) with drought analyses at the pan-european scale. Knowledge transfer across these scales is paramount because vulnerability is context-specific (e.g. physical, environmental, socio-economic, cultural, legal, institutional), which requires analyses on detailed scales, whereas international policies and drought-generating climate drivers and land surface processes are operating on large scales. The project will adopt Science-Policy Interfacing at the various scales, by establishing Case Study Dialogue Fora and a pan-europe Dialogue Forum, which will ensure that the research will be well integrated into the policy-making from the start of the project onwards. The study will foster a better understanding of past droughts (e.g. underlying processes, occurrences, environmental and socioeconomic impacts, past responses), which then will contribute to the assessment of drought hazards and potential vulnerabilities in the 21th C. An innovative methodology for early drought warning at the pan-european scale will be developed, which will improve on the forecasting and a suite of interlinked physical and impact indicators. This will help to increase drought preparedness, and to indentify and implement appropriate Disaster Risk Reduction measures (along the lines of the UN/ISDR HFA). The project will lead through the combined drought studies at different scales to the identification of drought-sensitive regions and sectors across Europe and a more thorough implementation of the EU Water Framework Directive, particularly by further developing of methodologies for Drought Management Plans at different scales (incl. EU level). The work will be linked with the European Drought Centre ensuring that the outcome will be consolidated beyond the project lifetime. 1. Wageningen Universiteit (NL) 2. Albert-Ludwigs-Univ.

The analysis led to recommendations for stakeholders involved in the entire sustainable management chain of silviculture, as well as a strategic roadmap. Learning from the past to understand future impacts of forest fires in relation to socioeconomics changes and how climate and weather affected fire in dynamically changing landscapes. Fires will be mapped throughout Europe to determine hazard burning functions. Since climate has changed, an attempt to attribute (sensu IPCC) fire regime change to climate, differentiating it from socioeconomic change, will be made. Production of scenarios of change (climate, including extremes, land-use land-cover, socioeconomics, vegetation) for various emissions pathways and three time-slices during this century. Models and field experiments projected impacts on fireregime and vegetation vulnerabilities will be calculated, including climate extremes (drought, heat-waves). Further investigation on adaptation options in fire- and landmanagement, including restoration. Fire prevention and fire fighting protocols will be tested/developed under the new conditions to mitigating fire risks. A company managing fire will be a key player. Costs and policy impacts of changes in fire will be studied.

Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen - Tübingen (DE) In the sector of civil protection, the establishment of the European Emergency Response Capacity (EERC) is linked to quality requirements (based on international standards where such standards exist) defined by the Commission for the response capacities that Member States will commit. It is related to a process for certification and registration of the Member States response capacities made available to the EERC. Potentially significant strategic response capacity gaps in the EERC are identified with help by the Commission to Member States consortia. Key standardisation goals are identified in the CBRN and Explosive Action Plans, in particular the requirement to make a comprehensive overview of relevant regulations or standards at hand and their relevance to biosecurity and biosafety, and to consider implementation of the CEN Workshop Agreement CWA and WHO Laboratory Biosecurity Guidance. The plan also promotes the development of a coherent set of minimum technical detection standards (including within the context of border monitoring) based on scenarios, user requirements and risk and threat assessments while building on existing work, in particular the engagement of the private sector, especially ESOS (CEN, CENELEC, ETSI) and consideration of forensic requirements for evidence as well as legal metrology requirements. This is complemented by the requirement to develop reference materials of biological agents for both clinical and environmental samples (according to internationally accepted standards) in order to achieve quality assurance in detection. Finally, the plan also requires the setting of minimum requirements for sampling, detection, identification and monitoring of pathogens and toxins within a civilian security context at EU level and make these available to the private sector, with due consideration of confidentiality. The CBRN Action plan also requires the development of guidelines based on existing standards for CBRN training of Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) specialists, including standards developed by EDA to the non-military context.

The Mandate 487 report prepared by CEN has identified a number of needs and recommendations in the CBRN-E, Crisis Management and Border Control areas, which resulted in the selection of priorities by the Commission. These were dealt with in two different ways for CBRN-E and Crisis Management: (1) the development of Workshop Agreements within the framework of expert groups coordinated by the European Reference Network for CIP (ERNCIP); and (2) mandates to CEN for the development of selected standards. Besides these formal activities, FP7 research projects also include standardisation components as described below. Within Horizon2020, the DRS topic on "Addressing standardisation opportunities in support of increasing disaster resilience in Europe" will complement on-going activities (see above) on standardisation (derived from M487 recommendations) and discuss gaps and perspectives for future standardisation developments.

94 186 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) Way Ahead Most policies dealing with Disaster Risk and Crisis Management have established operational links with research. For example, the CBRN and Explosive Action Plans include the goal to strengthen and prioritise research. Furthermore, an engagement in further research cooperation with international partners is promoted with a view to enhancing synergies and avoiding duplications, using existing scientific networks, taking into account the research work performed by EDA, JRC and ESRIF (expired in 2009), organisation of periodic meetings by the Commission. (research, industry, operators) will cooperate for boosting implementation of research outputs, including their usability for policy implementation in the Member States (through information given to relevant existing committees and advisory groups). This will in addition have the capacity of returns of experiences from Industry and practitioners to the EU level, and enable to identify the most potential technologies, tools and methods in order to support their access to the market. The Community of Users, along with the DRMKC, will enable to better visualise / identify research (and on the long term capacity-building and education) projects related to different themes relevant to safety, security and resilience. In this respect, both initiatives are closely interconnected (Figure 7). While interactions among research and policies are high on the policy agenda, much remains to be done to improve the way information flows from the different communities involved in implementation of both research outputs and policies. This includes capitalizing on past research and enhancing cooperation among EU Member States organisations. The complexity of the security sector stems from the wide variety of actors involved and the lack of coordination mechanism at EU and national level regarding the transfer of information and their actual use by implementers and decision-makers. The need for enhanced coordination and information sharing form the basis of the Community of Users on Safe, Secure and Resilient described in this paper. Prior to developing a Community of Users (based on existing communities which are presently fragmented) with the view of improving science-policy-industry-operator's links in the context of Horizon2020, it was essential to understand the architecture of the research framework and how it interacted with various policy technical/scientific challenges. This was the subject of the mapping described in the present document which should not be regarded as an impact assessment (i.e. no analysis was done about the actual impact and use of research outputs on policies) but rather as a means to better understand the complex science-policy working environment at EU and national levels and propose a mechanism to streamline information flows and transfer in the future. The analytical value of the document stands for the "matrix" established between research and science, i.e. a factual image of the present situation. For the time being, it does not go as far as analysing the real outputs of research regarding policy implementation but complements the work of the Commission's Disaster Risk Management Knowledge Centre (DRMKC) which intends to improve science-based services and analysis, the use and uptake of research and operational knowledge as well as to advance science and technology in DRM. Figure 7. DRMKC - HOME Community of Users While this network is progressively establishing "horizontal" dialogues and helping interactions among different disciplines and actors, it will not have the capacity to create operational links with users at large without dedicated thematic networks (referred to as "Communities of practice") in Figure 8. Based on this report, what is the way ahead? Several objectives will be pursued, from the short to the long term, which are described in in Section 2 "Tasks and objectives". Besides the technical objectives and the coordination of a better information exchange system, the Community of Users on the long term has the capacity to rise sharing of experiences among different actors involved in disaster risk and crisis management, with possible initiatives leading to synergies in the EU and beyond. What is at stake here is to create a mechanism involving different levels (EU, national and regional) by which the different actors, and primarily the "users", will be able to rapidly trace back information and experiences issued from research, capacity-building and training projects, giving them the possibility to identify and contact right persons at the right time to get the feedback that they are looking for via the CoU dedicated website. Regular information exchanges and debates orchestrated by the Community of Users will enable to better channel the information to the "users", which will have a direct effect on research programming, policy implementation and update. It will also have an effect on the involvement of end-users at various levels, e.g. in steering committees of Horizon 2020 projects, consortia, and cater links between research projects and capacity-building / training initiatives, e.g. making links with training programmes and centres, modules exercises, etc. If the Community of Users develops as expected, it has a potential to become a useful complementary supporting group on research related activities to EU security policies (not duplicating existing advisory groups dealing with policy implementation but rather channelling information about research outputs) in the framework of which the European Commission with the EU Member States (through the policy and programme committees), EU Agencies, Intergovernmental Agencies, International Organisations and the wide range of sectors concerned Figure 8. Linking CoU to Communities of practice

95 188 A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) A Community of Users on Secure, Safe and Resilient (CoU) 189 This need for "vertical" transfer of information from the EU to the national and the regional levels could be fulfilled by connecting the CoU to appropritate expert networks or communities, either existing or to be developed, that would play the role of knowledge integrating and "translating" bodies at European levels, with the mission in support and in connexion with MS authorities to effectively relays research outputs (e.g. new tools or technologies, methods etc.) to appropriate users at national, regional and even local levels. This process of pulling EU research outputs to users, i.e. transforming these outputs into outcome, can only be possible through an effective partnership with users. In other words, if the CoU provides on a regular basis information on new tools / technologies or other research information, different "communities of practice" might format this information to address different categories of users (policy-makers, scientists, industry/smes, practitioners, civil society) and undertake ad-hoc actions to ensure that potentials of EU research developments are known and possibly applied by them. This flow of information would enable that we do not miss opportunities (or duplicate work) and would also create effective bridges among the EU down to the citizen's level with possible feedback received and contributing to further research programming. Zooming into the CBRN picture, this would imply that each Community of practice gets a comprehensive overview of leading projects in their area (research, capacity-building, training / education), help bringing these projects together if and when possible so that synergies and a critical mass may be built-up. Interfacing among research & innovation and other actors in the industry and policy areas should be facilitated by stakeholder expert / working groups with a mediating role, i.e. able to translate / format the information to target speciticially different users (e.g. specific technology information addressed to industry, support to a specific policy action with reference to the appropriate regulation ect.). In bridging the different "worlds", there is a greater chance that users will get better channeled information as the knowledge base would in principle become consolidated and made known to a wide range of different actors. Two examples are given below to illustrate this purpose. In the CBRN-E area, the CoU will continue its efforts in identifying relevant projects funded by different (research, capacity-building) programmes with the aims to propose clustering initiatives through platforms of information exchanges. Stakeholders will continue to interact with these programmes to help interfacing with relevant policies. The CoU is naturally not interfering with policy development and implementation, but contacts are readily established with different policy bodies, enabling to inform users about possible updates and helping research information to be efficiently disseminated to policy actors. The "Community of practice" need to be activated to relay ad-hoc information to users as shown in Figure 9a. Figure 9b. Channelling information in the CBRN area The same can be examplified in the area of natural hazards, taking into consideration the different "communities" (Figure 10a) and hazards (Figure 10b). Figure 9a. Main actors in the CBRN-E area In conclusion, the Community of Users has the vocation to act as a facilitating platform, creating links and dialogues among different actors / disciplines (the "horizontal level") and among different levels (from EU to local). Based on the present mapping, a similar architecture will be used to develop a website which will facilitate information searches (not repeating what is readily in place but rather providing paths helping users to more easily find information per themes / areas). This mapping will be complemented on a regular basis (annually) for H2020 and other projects, and the CoU will pursue the organisation of gathering events to consolidate a culture of exchanges at EU level for the sake of improved safety, security and resilience of our societies.
