Scope
The Directorate-General for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) launched a call for project proposals MARE/2014/26 – Interoperability improvements in Member States to enhance information sharing for maritime surveillance, which aims support actions implemented by national authorities to improve their interoperability and consequently the sharing of maritime surveillance information, thus contributing to the development of Common Information Sharing Environment (CISE).
In this context, the project aims at diagnosing the national state-of-the-art on the maritime surveillance information sharing by national public authorities and define the next steps to improve it through. For this, the present project encompasses partners of the national public authorities for which maritime surveillance information is relevant, which represent all the seven user communities addressed by the CISE (defense, border control, general law enforcement, fisheries control, marine environment, customs and maritime safety and security).
