PREFACE

The EUROSUR Regulation was
born on the 2th December 2013.
Also a day to remember because
it was the launching ceremony of
the National Maritime
Surveillance System, named
SIVICC.

The Portuguese National
Coordination Centre and the PT
EUROSUR node were established
in the same administrative area at
the headquarters of the Coastal
Control Unit of GNR.

✓ Cooperation at European Level:

Direct and permanent contact with all NCC’s and FRONTEX, under the
EUROSUR Communication Network and other communications
available (telephone, e-mail, etç). The NCC Portugal is under a
process of accreditation to have the administrative area in
“Confidential” clearance and the network in “Restricted” clearance.
Those processes are coordinated with National Security Office
(Gabinete Nacional de Segurança) and FRONTEX.

The cooperation with the neighbouring MS agencies is in place in
bilateral agreements allowing the sharing of information and
cooperation in a tactical level to have a common coordination and
reaction capability. This cooperation is also under the EUROSUR
Regulation.

23

Article 9 (ER):
(...)
9. The national coordination centres of neighbouring Member States

shall share with each other, directly and in near-real-time, the
situational picture of neighbouring external border sections
relating to:

(a) incidents and other significant events contained in the events
layer;

(b) tactical risk analysis reports as contained in the analysis layer.
10. The national coordination centres of neighbouring Member States

may share with each other, directly and in near-real-time, the
situational picture of neighbouring external border sections
relating to the positions, status and type of own assets operating
in the neighbouring external border sections as contained in the
operational layer.
This is become visible with the integration of both national border
surveillance systems and the integration of these systems in the
EUROSUR Communication Network. (SIVE- SIVICC connection).
There is a GNR Liaison Officer GNR in the National Security Office
where is established the Point of Contact for the EUROPOL and other
European cooperation.
The cooperation with other European agencies (ex. EMSA, EUSATCEN)
is established through FRONTEX who is the single point of contact for
the subject related to EUROSUR.

✓ Cooperation at Third Countries

“Neighbouring third country” means a third country which has either
a land or sea border or a common sea basin with a Member State.
(HB- Definitions)
Implementing a regional network for the exchange of information
and cooperation in the area of the Mediterranean Sea, including the
MS of the south of EU and the TC on the north of Africa - Seahorse
Mediterranean (SHM).
This regional network is established in the administrative area of the
NCC. The working station of the SHM is operated by the NCC
EUROSUR Operator in order to have the full situational picture.
GNR has a LO deployed in Third Country Morocco and another LO on
the BCP Algeciras.
The exchange of sensitive information can be under the EUROSUR
Communication Network (is under a process of accreditation) and the
institutional e-mail with possible to be encrypted. The institutional e-
mail is based on the National Internal Security Network (Rede

✓ At operational and tactical level, NCC using the CCCN/SIVICC
concept to implement the additional surveillance measures and
carry out intensified border control activities, especially in areas
identified as critical within the border section.

✓ According to the model, a ‘threat’ is a force or pressure acting
upon the external borders that is characterized by both its
magnitude and likelihood; ‘vulnerability’ is defined as the capacity
of a system to mitigate the threat; and ‘impact’ is determined as
the potential consequences of the threat. In this way, a
structured and systematic breakdown of risk provides for an
assessment of the relative overall risks posed by different threats
as a function of the relevant vulnerabilities and impacts, and
therefore will be of much use to decision-makers in setting
priorities, in formulating counter-measures, and in designating
operational targets.

✓ Assessing the EUROSUR impact levels, the three components of
risk (threat, vulnerability and impact) must be taken into account,

using the CIRAM model for risk analysis developed by the Agency:
1) the threat must be assessed in terms of impact and
likelihood;
2) the vulnerability to the threat: level and efficiency of
response to the threat;
3) the impact: should the threat occur.

✓ NCC-EUROSUR develops and manages intelligence requirements
