manages the Danish national operative affairs in
"Baltic Sea Region Border Control Co-Operation"
"BSRBCC" makes a difference ! Do you ?
Danish National Commissioner of Police
has entrusted Project Bornholm to manage the
operative responsibilities in frame
of BSRBCC - as the Danish National Co-Ordination Centre -
NCC-Denmark -.
At the 5th. Ministerial Session of the
Council of The Baltic Sea States (CBSS)
in 1996, Finland proposed setting up a special forum for co-operation
between border control authorities. A decision was taken to set up
a structure at the level of the heads of relevant national
authorities. The inaugural meeting was held in Helsinki
in June 1997, in which participating heads of
Border / Frontier / Coast Guards, or their
deputies decided to launch the
"BALTIC SEA REGION BORDER CONTROL CO-OPERATION"
(BSRBCC)
Among the most important issues on the agenda were: Development of practical forms
of Co-Operation; simplification of communication routines between the parties, e.g. the
development of the data transmission system CoastNet; Co-Operation with
Interpol and Europol
in the field of border control; sea exercises and
operations; exchange of information on tasks and powers of border
services in the area of secutity controls at sea ports, marinas
and sea areas; counteracting terrorism; exchange of opinions,
experiences and evaluations of existing standards of
security controls. Finland is chairing the BSRBCC
during the period of 2006-2007, and Sweden
take over the precidency for 2007-2008.
Every Baltic Sea country, (Denmark / Bornholm - Sweden / Karlskrona - Norway /
Oslo - Russia / St. Petersburg - Estonia / Tallinn - Latvia / Riga -
Lithuania / Klaipeda
Poland / Gdansk - Germany / Neustadt) runs a National Co-Ordination
Centre - the NCC`s - while the chairing country Finland / Helsinki
Co-ordinate the international Co-Operation from
the International Co-Ordination Centre - the ICC -.
