ESRIF – European Security Research and Innovation Forum (European Commission)

2007-2009

Development of a Joint Security Research and Innovation Agenda driven by the demand side of security technologies and

respecting civil liberties, being prepared in cooperation of demand, supply and civil society side representatives;

involving public and private players both from the national and European level on a voluntary basis;

providing strategic advice for European and national security research programme owners;

aiming at an impact on security research and innovation, which implies the take up and deployment of the research outcome;

through the overall process also having a positive impact on the development of the European security equipment market.

ESRIF Objectives A strong Security Technological and Industrial Base,

including the integration of the supply chains, able to provide all critical technologies

A European Security Equipment Market – standardisation and interoperability

Aiming at improved cooperation between security policy & research

Definition of minimum standard for security equipment and systems

Definition of security characteristics of infrastructures Working in coordination with MS, EDA, ESA, NATO,

etc. Definition of requirements for European security

solutions

Critical Infrastructures in the Black Sea area

I. A REGIONAL STRATEGY FOR ENERGY SECURITY

It is appropriate and timely to start thinking about a REGIONAL STRATEGY FOR THE PROTECTION OF CRITICAL ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE in the Wider Black Sea Area. Such a project could be built upon the EU and NATO energy security perspectives as well as the existing institutional arrangements under the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC), the relevant experience of the Southeast Europe Energy Community Treaty (SEECT) a.o.

Energy Security-The Role of Transit Countries 2-3 March 2007, Bucharest, Romania

II. ROLE OF ENERGY TRANSIT COUNTRIES

The development of agreed rules of conduct for the producer, consumer and transit countries. As a first step, a platform for information sharing on energy security could be considered.

Future action on practical activities in the broad field of energy security should also involve all stakeholders, including local communities and the civil society.

Cooperation on these matters may be developed and harmonized within an ASSOCIATION ON ENERGY TRANSIT COUNTRIES of representatives of transit, producing and consuming countries.

III. GOOD ENERGY GOVERNANCE

Launching a new concept of GOOD ENERGY GOVERNANCE with the support of UN, NATO, EU, a.o.

To engage the scientific and academic community in the preparation of a GLOBAL OVERALL STRATEGY FOR THE PROTECTION OF CRITICAL ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE;

To prepare, as a first step, the blueprint for a GLOBAL CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE WARNING INFORMATION NETWORK (GCIWIN).

A Potential Global Mission for NATO?

Proposals for the Bucharest NATO Summit 2008 Consider the Energy Security as a part of

the wider Critical Infrastructures Protection

Include the Critical Infrastructures Protection as a potential global mission for NATO

Launch the Good Critical Infrastructures Governance Project
