1. 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 Societies 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.

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 Societies. 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 policy-making process;
5. Facilitating the implementation of policy.
8
2.3 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) capacity-building and training projects. This will be a
joint undertaking by concerned DGs and REA.
9
3) The identification of promising tools / technologies / recommendations and the
production of tailor-made 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.
(a) 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 (2014-2015), the development of the Community of Users has been closely
linked to two demonstration projects (EDEN1 and DRIVER2) 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 (2016-2017), logistics will be
carried out under a service contract with the development of a dedicated website.

http://driver-project.eu/
10
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.B4.
2.5 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
11
The different levels are illustrated in Figure 1 and deals with, in particular:
Horizontally
o 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.
o 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.
o Science to policy: formatting/translation of research information in a way which is tailor-
made to policy-makers 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.
o 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
o 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.
12
o 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.
o 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.
3. 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 Societies 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 2016. 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.
13
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 large-scale 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.
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 multi-sectoral 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) Policymakers; (b) Scientists; (c) Industry (including SMEs); (d) Training and
Operational units; and (e) NGOs and general public:
a. Policy-makers and stakeholders
o 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.
14
o 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
o At the Member States level, Ministries of Defence, Interior, Foreign Affairs, Civil
Protection, Environment, Research and Industry, as well as Agencies and Regional
Authorities, are concerned
o 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
o Security research involves a wide range of scientific disciplines which have to interact,
ensure complementarity and build interdisciplinary networks
o Different types of scientists are to be considered (universities, research institutes,
research units linked to Defence/Interior ministries or agencies)
c. Industry (including SMEs)
o Many industry branches and stakeholders are involved in the areas of defence, forensics,
civil protection etc. Research results can benefit most first responders
o Different communication approaches to be followed towards large industries and SMEs
often disconnected from discussions at EU level
d. Practitioners
o 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)
o Training centres for first responders, command control centres
e. NGOs and general public
o NGOs, Civil Society Organisations, public at large, education (schools) and training
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 Societies 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 (2014-2015). 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.
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.

4. 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:
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.
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.
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.

4.2 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.

5. 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.
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 (UCPM)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 Strategy7 and the resulting European Agenda on Security adopted in
April 20158 (DG HOME) and Consumer Health Protection policies (DG SANCO)9. In addition,

climate-related disasters are covered by environmental and climate policies (DG ENV, in
particular the Flood Directive10 and DG CLIMA through the EU climate change adaptation
strategy11). 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 Policy12 which aims to boost industrial competitiveness and innovation (thus the
access to market of developed technologies) and the EU research policy represented by
Horizon202013.
With regards to CBRN-E, the key EU policy is represented by the CBRN Action Plan14 (DG
HOME) and the EU Action Plan on Enhancing the Security of Explosives15 which are to expire
at the end of 2015; the Regulation 98/2013 on the Marketing and Use of Explosives
Precursors16 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), Customs18 (DG TAXUD), Environment and Industrial Risks19 (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 Non-proliferation
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 2015-2025 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.
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 policy21 coordinated by DG R&I and
involving DG HOME (Secure Societies 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.
5.2 EU Civil Protection Mechanism and related international policies
The UCPM22 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 UCPM 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 aid23. 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 UCPM 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

21
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
information24.
The UCPM is closely related to the Sendai Framework for Action 2015-202525 "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 events26.
The UCPM 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 applications27), 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.
The new approach to the European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection28
(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 infrastructure30 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
policies31 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.

5.4 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.
5.4.1 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 fund32,33.
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.

Security related risks

OJ L 150, 20.5.2014, p. 93 Internal Security Fund - Police
24
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.
5.4.2 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
25
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 2015.
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 2014. 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).
5.4.3 International Conventions
At international level, the EU strategy against Proliferation of Weapons of Mass
Destruction (WMD strategy), together with relevant Community Instruments, in particular
the Instrument 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 security34.
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.
34
COM(2009) 143 final, 26.03.2009
26
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 2015. 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 health4 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

27
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
Resources38), 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).

COM(2012) 673 final

5.8 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 Directive40 and the Groundwater Directive41), 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 context42. 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 Europes 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) Right2Water44. 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 (2002-2012) 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 200845.
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 items46 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 facilitation47 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.
5.10 Border security (to be checked / complemented)
xxxxx Communication "Examining the creation of a European Border Surveillance System
(EUROSUR)" (COM(2008) 68 final) SHORT DESCRIPTION
In this framework, 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.

5.11 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 2016. 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.
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 2016.
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.

6. EU-FUNDING INSTRUMENTS - 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 Strategy48, 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:

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 2020. 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 2014-20 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 2010. The initiative is designed
to strengthen the institutional capacity of nonEU 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 20102020 period, the initiative is the single
biggest measure of the longterm component of the Instrument 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
nonEU 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 EUs
common foreign and security policy.
The main objectives of the EU CBRN Centres of Excellence initiative are t strengthen the
longterm national and regional CBRN governance and capabilities of responsible authorities
and administrative infrastructure. 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
34
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 decisionmaking body and is responsible for
implementing the initiatives budget. It prepares the annual action programmes of the IcSP
and monitors the work of the main implementing bodies: the Commissions Joint Research
Centre (JRC) and the UN Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI).

6.9 JRC
6.9.1 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 2013.
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,
36
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.
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
37
new Commission Regulation aiming at harmonising the certification of aviation
security equipment, by providing impartial technical analysis of the conformity
assessment practices.
6.9.2 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 (https://erncip-project.jrc.ec.europa.eu/).
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 EUs 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.
The ERNCIP Inventory (https://erncip-project.jrc.ec.europa.eu/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.
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.
6.9.3 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/knowledge-policy interface in Disaster Risk
Management to support translating complex scientific data and analyses into usable
38
information and provide science-based advice for DRM policies, as well as timely and reliable
scientific-based 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.
6.10 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 Unions
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 incidents have a low probability but high impact nature. 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.
End users require that the CBRN detection technologies are high in performance and low in
detection thresholds. Stand-off detection and improved point detection of threat agents are
required in order to have more time to respond and protect. Furthermore, there is a need
for development of Decontamination (control), Individual and Collective Protection.
Modelling and Simulation and Data networking are needed to design the optimal protection
and detection architectures.

7. 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 (pre-crisis), situation awareness / early warning (occurrence of an event),
response / recovery (post-crisis), and socio-economic 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
40
Complementing the above, a mapping of projects funded under the FP7 Secure Societies
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.
Figure 6. Science-policy matrix
In the sections below, the different policy sectors are separated into operational goals with
highlights of specific actions to which FP7 projects have a potential to respond (in the
various tables throughout the document). It should be stressed again that, at this stage, the
document is not providing an analysis of the research outputs but rather provides the
overall architecture of science-policy interactions related to the different sectors. Links
among policy objectives and specific projects are tentatively established with regard to an
area coverage and not sensu stricto, i.e. attributions/references are prone to modifications.
41
7.2 Disaster resilience / Crisis management (natural hazards)
Most of the research projects listed in this section directly or indirectly support the UCPM
(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'49. 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.
7.2.1 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
UCPM as a mean to improve planning of disaster response operations, scenario building and
response capacities (of direct support to the ERCC mission). The UCPM 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.
7.2.1.1 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.

7.2.1.3 Demonstration in the area of multi-hazards crisis management

As highlighted in the introductory part, DRIVER is one of the largest FP7 projects dealing with
crisis management. The project has a larger focus than only natural hazards as it also covers
other (man-made) threats. It is expected that this demonstration programme, running until
March 2019, will have a strong role to play in bringing projects together and support the
developing Communty of Users.

7.2.3 Risk assessment of climate-related hazards

Preparedness and adaptation planning to threats related to climate change are defined in
the EU Adaptation Strategy to Climate Change, which calls for bridging the knowledge gap,
in particular on damage and adaptation costs and benefits, regional and local-level analyses
and risk assessments, tools to support decision-making, monitoring and evaluating past
adaptation efforts. Links with Horizon2020 DRS topics have been designed in this respect.
This section highlights projects dealing with risk management-related tools and technologies
that are applicable mainly to climate-related hazards Forest fires are included in this
category, keeping in mind that they also may be due to intentional man-made actions.
7.2.3.1 Climate impact assessments TO BE FILLED IN
Assessment of climate change-induced risks has been subject to research developments
since the 6th Framework Programme. A project cluster within FP7 has specifically focused on
risks related to water and security in the Mediterranean area (CLIWASEC cluster):

In addition, in the framework of the EU Adaptation to climate change, a mandate has been
given to CEN to map industry-relevant standards in the area of energy, transport and
buildings and identifying standards to be revised for better inclusion of adaptation
considerations.
Within Horizon2020, several topics responded to research needs in support of the
adaptation strategy, namely the DRS-9-2014/2015 topic on "Science and innovation for
adaptation to climate change: from assessing costs, risks and opportunities to
demonstration of options and practices", the DRS-11-2015 on "Mitigating the impacts of
climate change and natural hazards on cultural heritage sites, structures and artefacts" and a
study on "Impact of climate change in third countries on Europe's security" (DRS-22-2015).
Another major area related to climate threats is covered by the DRS-1-2016 topic on "Crisis
management topic 1: potential of current measures and technologies to respond to extreme
weather and climate events".

7.2.4 Health threats crisis management
The Decision 1082/2013 requires sharing best practice and experience in response planning
among the Member States, and the establishment of early warning and response system
(EWRS) for alerting, assessing public health risks and determining the measures that may be
required to protect public health in consideration of relevant information. Besides, the CBRN
Action Plan promotes strengthening sharing medical counter-measures across borders in the
case of an incident. Recommendations also concern ways in which medical staff and other
first responders can receive guidance on dealing with large scale CBRN emergencies and a
rapid increase of the number of victims. Various projects support these goals:

The European Programme for Critical Infrastructure Protection (see section 5.3) is an all-
hazards programme with a broad range of activities and areas related to prevention,
preparedness and response. In this respect, risk management is taking stock of existing
research and innovation activities conducted notably in the FP7 Environment (including
climate change) programme, in particular the Group on Earth Observation (GEO) such as the
Supersites Initiative and research on "stress tests" for critical infrastructures. The
programme is furthermore enhancing links with management activities undertaken within
the Union Civil Protection Mechanism.
7.3.1 Multi-hazard risk assessment, stress tests
This section focuses on multi-hazard risk assessment and stress tests, with applications to
critical infrastructures. It is hence linked to secions 7.2 (cascading effects) and 7.4 (safety and

under "smart meters" threats", DRS-13-2015 linked to standardisation (but not only) on
"Demonstration activity on tools for adapting building and infrastructure standards and
design methodologies in vulnerable locations in case of natural or man-originated
catastrophes", DRS-14-2015 on "Critical Infrastructure indicator analysis and development
of methods for assessing resilience" and the SME instrument topic DRS-17-2014/2015 on
"Protection of urban soft targets and urban critical infrastructures". These research efforts
will be complemented by an ethics/societal topic, namely DRS-20-2014 dealing with
"Improving protection of Critical Infrastructures from insider threats".

topic, namely DRS-20-2014 dealing with "Improving protection of Critical Infrastructures
from insider threats".
7.4.4 Detection / Control of CBRN-E risks
The CBRN Action Plan as well as the Explosives Action Plan include various requirements
regarding detection, surveillance and control, for example requirements for appropriate
measures to ensure that security plans/security management systems are in place in high-
risk chemical facilities. Controls also concern the delivery of high-risk chemicals and
equipment by chemical industry to legitimate users and licensing schemes in particular for
Chemical Warfare Agents (CWA) precursors. In the radiological and nuclear areas, controlling
measures are focused on e.g. the causes and consequences of the loss of control over
radioactive sources, on current status of used and disused sources in the EU and transport
patterns for legal uses of radioactive sources.
7.4.4.1 Demonstration project in the field of CBRNE crisis management (generic)

7.4.4.5 EDA projects in the field of CBRN (dual-use research)
Technology development have always benefited from flows from defence to civil or vice-
versa. This interesting cross-fertilisation is however limited by several factors including the
legitimate confidentiality that must surround both sensitive defence applications, but also
cutting-edge civilian development bringing a competitive advantage. Few technologies are
per se military or civilian, very often innovative technologies can find applications in various
sectors: civil, space and defence. So there is a need to understand the multipurpose nature
of technologies and to make the best use of the limited resources to develop them in a
coordinated manner to the benefit of all potential users. Efforts should be taken for the
future European Research & Innovation Framework Programmes to have a more
comprehensive approach of key multi-purpose technologies, with an explicit objective of
113
cross-fertilization between defence and civil research. In order to find dual-use synergies,
since a few years EDA and the Commission are coordinating research under the so called
European Framework Cooperation (see section 6.10), especially for CBRN protection
research. This has proven successful. Calls are coordinated and information is exchanged as
far as the legal frameworks allow. Expertise in EDA and Commission has been shared as
much as possible: the Commission is part of the management committee of the EDA Joint
Investment Programme on CBRN Protection (JIP-CBRN) and EDA is often represented in
Advisory boards of CBRN related projects under the Commission Research Framework
Programmes (FP7 and H2020). Selected projects are listed below:

7.4.5 Risk Assessment of Major Accident Hazards
Related to the major accident hazards and its risk management, the Directive 2012/18/EU
on major-accidents hazards involving dangerous substances sets a number of obligations
both to the Member States (e.g., legislation, organisation of the Inspections, reporting to the
EC, etc.) as well as to the industrial establishments. To date, there are very few Secure
Societies projects which cover major accident hazards. However, within Horizon2020, the
DRS-15-2015 topic (2015 call) on "Protecting potentially hazardous and sensitive sites/areas
considering the multi-sectorial dependencies" will support research in support of the
Directive 2012/18/EU, addressing the need that potential impacts also from -major accidents
to the national or EU infrastructure are to be analysed and considered also at the strategic
level, thus extending the risk management and risk assessment beyond usual scope
(establishment level).
Environmental accidents and early warning related to new technology risks have been

Water security threats are directly related to the risks of quality degradation, either from an

EU water policies, the quality deterioration is nevertheless regulated by the Water
Framework Directive and its parent directives dealing with drinking water, priority
substances and groundwater. Related projects are:

inspections. Examples of projects in this area are described in this section.
7.4.8.1 Detection of illegal drugs and hidden persons
Supporting this area, a range of projects has been funded to develop methods of used by
customs for e.g. detecting hidden persons, identifying narcotics and support counter-
measures, examples are:

7.4.12 Standardisation
Standardisation supports a range of EU policies and is closely related to research
developments (pre-, co- and post-normative research). 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-6-2015 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.
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
132
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 15793 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.

7.6.2.3 Testing and certification, and quality assurance

Trialling, testing and certification schemes for CBRN detection in the EU are also promoted as
key actions in the plan, in particular regarding technical requirements necessary for the
sampling and detection of CBRN materials (according to the field of applications of the
devices). It also supports the exchange of good practices and methodologies for quality
assurance (including criteria for method validation) related to CBRN detection in the
Member States, the establishment of an EU validation and certification scheme based on
continuing quality assurance mechanisms and an EU-wide trialling scheme to evaluate the
quality of both detection tools and systems in practical field operations. The new CBRN-E
approach is more specific as regards the support of further short-term trials for practitioners
in order to improve detection during future sport, cultural and other large-scale events; it
also further supports CBRN-E research, testing and validation activities and progress towards
appropriate detection standards adapted to each type of environment, including projects
such as ERNCIP (European Reference Network for Critical Infrastructure Protection) and
continues to support ITRAP Phase 2 assessing the feasibility of integrating radiological and
155
nuclear risks and explosives detection in the same device, and helping Member State's
laboratories to obtain accreditation in the detection of radiological and nuclear risks,
evaluate new detection equipment and enabling the definition of European or international
standards. Examples of FP7 projects which have contributed to the certification / testing
goals are listed below.

7.6.3.2 Crime scene and forensic evidences for CBRN-E threats and incidents
The CBRN Action Plan promotes the improvement of the capacity to conduct criminal
investigations, e.g. through the analysis of potential problems in the transport of CBRN
contaminated evidence across borders within the context of criminal investigations and
emergency situations in general. Linked to this Eurojust and a network of Forensic Science
Institutes develop recommendations to ensure that collected forensic evidence in a CBRN
crime scene is of a high enough quality to be admissible in court proceedings in the EU
Member States, with establishment of laboratory practices which can be used during legal
prosecutions to be coordinated by Eurojust, Europol, The European Network of Forensic
Science Institutes and the JRC Institute for Trans Uranium elements. These goals are
supported by enhancing and supporting cooperation between forensic laboratories,
reference and specialised laboratories, including those equipped for measurement/analysis
of CBRN materials. Examples are:

7.6.4 Explosives
The EU Explosives Action Plan calls on Member States and the Commission to set up
explosives-related research, and to ensure the aggregation and spread of research results, in
particular in the areas of precursors linked to IEDs, IEDs and their properties, inhibitors
which could be added to precursors to explosives to prevent them being used to
manufacture explosive devices, detection technologies, and identification of various
problems, detection of explosives and precursors including through the use of additives,
mobile explosives testing kits/detection devices (non destructive methods), certification,
testing and trialling schemes for explosives detection solutions etc.

7.6.5 Decontamination
Strengthening decontamination and remediation capacity is another goal of the CBRN Action
Plan. The JRC is assessing modelling tools with modelling experts and emergency response
personnel in order to assess practical requirements for modelling tools with the aim to
identify research needs. Available means for decontamination of affected population,
environment and infrastructure are also assessed, as well as their capacity to deal with mass
casualties with reference to CBRN materials with different cultural and social contexts. In the
RN sector, further investigations are undertaken about the possibility of using RODOS (Real-

Within Horizon2020, the DRS-19-2014 topic on "Next generation emergency services" will
provide a mean to improve early warning and communication in the area of civil protection.
In addition, a Pre-commercial Procurement (PCP) has been opened via the DRS-18-2015
topic (2015 call) on "Interoperable next generation of broadband radio communication
system for public safety and security" which will be a direct continuation of the FP7 research
efforts.
The implementation of security policies is supported by good practices exchanges, which are
recommended in the EU Civil Protection Mechanism. This practice is often part of research
projects which have hence the capacity to respond to policy recommendations.

8. 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.
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 Societies 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.
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 details 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
193
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 (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. 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 5.
Figure 5. Linking CoU to Communities of practice

194
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.
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 6a.
Figure 6a. Main actors in the CBRN-E area
195
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.
Figure 6b. Channelling information in the CBRN area
The same can be examplified in the area of natural hazards, taking into consideration the
different "communities" (Figure 7a) and hazards (Figure 7b).
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.
