JO Focal Points 2014 Annexes LEG.pdf
........ ;::-: FRONTEX -2. 12. Bucharest (OTP) 3. Tasking of Focal Points officers during Focal Points 2014 RAU undertakes a continual monitoring of data during the course of Focal Points deployments. It also undertakes monitoring of data across the wider air borders by way of the Pulsar Weekly data collec t ion. As a result of this RAU is also able to identify sudden changes in modus operandi and emerging t rends. This means that RAU is able to not only identify these phenomena but also to identify what information gaps exist in knowledge associated with these trends . In 2013 Member Stat es agreed that they should be approached on an individual basis via Air Borders Sector to request any specific concen tration on a target wi th or wi thout the use of guest officers or SGOs If RAU identifies the requiremen t t o do so .The option will be provided to the hosting airport to deploy the services of the Guest Officer to concen trate on identification and reporting of incidents linked to the threat/phenomenon as required by RAU in order t o increase knowledge and situational awareness. 4. Conclusion The dual aims of Frontex Focal Points air deployments, on t he one hand providing operational support to Member States and on the other hand attempting to increase knowledge of the habitual traffic and emerging phenomena and modi operandi at the external borders of the EU is not easy to fulfil. 11/ 28
::: FRONTEX However, financial restraints mean that at present there does not exist specific funding streams within Focal Points for the separate deployment of human assets to be able to concentrate on achieving just one of these aims on a sustained basis throughout the operational year. jlt is therefore Commented [A4]: The blanked out parts contain detailed information regarding the reporting mechanisms of law enforcement officials. Its disclosure would expose law enforcement officials engaged in the operation and harm the course of future and ongoing operations , and thus facilitate irregular migration. Therefore , public security will be affected. In light of the above , the text is not disclosed pursuant to the exception laid down in the first indent of Article 4(1 )(a) of Regulation No 1049 / 2001 relating to the protection of the public interest as regards public security. In this sense Focal Points Air does not seek to provide a total overview of the activity of any specific airports activity. It simply tries to provide some insight into interesting , unusual or typical cases of the airport's traffic. This tactical focused assessment has identified a defined process to identify those airports in the Schengen area which experience the main pressure from irregular migration , or require specific support in terms of activity identified or reporting. 12 / 28
::: FRONTEX Commented [AS]: The non-disclosed text contains detailed operational information and intelligence related to individual airports. Its disclosure would reveal the existing vulnerabilities which, once public , would be explored by the criminal networks of migrant smuggling and of trafficking of human beings. Thus, the disclosure of such information would harm the public interest as regards public security. In this regard the text is not disclosed pursuant to the exception laid down in the first indent of Article 4(1 )(a) of Regulation (EC) 1049 / 2001. 13 / 28

Deployed officers wi ll be able to share their experience and expertise with their counterparts at the respective hosting airports. A continuous flow of information between officers, airports, point of contacts and Frontex should provide all the participants with an up -to-date knowledge about the situation and best practice of border control and border management. The deployments during the joint operation will be based on the proposals of Member States and Third Countries to Frontex and /or on risk ana lysis assessme nt . The objectives are meant to be achieved by the following activities: Activity Indicators of achievement Expected output Deployme nt of operational officers Nr of MS /SAC participating to the At least 20 MS/SAC participating to the JO across the EU JO Deployment of EU Nr of MS / SAC participating to the advisers to Third At least 4 MS/ SAC participating to the JO JO Countries 14 / 28
