These include the implementation of pilot projects at two international border crossing points between the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine aimed at determination, introduction and monitoring of effectiveness of local level anti-corruption measures. Other imminent actions include surveys on integrity, implementation of a border crossing satisfaction survey, training on ethics and corruption, round table discussions for low and middle level management on the role and tasks of management in combating internal corruption and EUBAM involvement in monitoring and advising on corruption cases related to the Moldova- Ukraine state border. Recently the Heads of the Ukrainian and Moldovan security services and EUBAM met for the third time in order to review and deepen cooperation on border security issues. Information and analytical data exchange has increased significantly. Joint analytical work on smuggling and illegal migration are cases in point. Cooperation with EU member states and international law enforcement agencies also increased. EUBAM has recently issued recommendations regarding the establishment of law enforcement procedures to be used by the partners. These recommendations call for providing step by step ownership by the partner of powers of interrogation and investigation as well as the ability of initiating criminal cases.

CSDP Mission Analysis Partnership www.csdpmap.eu ISIS Europe established CSDP MAP in 2008, which has been designed to fill a gap and a niche by collating think tank, research institute, NGO, government and EU institutional work on CSDP into one-place. CSDP MAP now has 21 partners across Europe and growing. CSDP MAP is particularly important with the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty on 1 December 2009. The CSDP MAP webportal gives quick access and policy input on : Outline and chronological timeline of CSDP and EU missions. We see a shift in security and crisis management towards an increase in civilian crisis management with a human security and peacebuilding focus (12 of the current 14 CSDP and EU missions are “civilian”). This part of CSDP MAP gives direct access to EU documentation and policy, as well as partner analysis, figures and reports on CSDP missions. EU structure. One page, all the links. Council, Commission, EP, EU agencies - for anything related to the EU's External Relations (security and associated). Country analysis. Partners’ work and research in countries that have an EU mission present are provided, giving a broad and analytical view - from the perspective of Member States and stakeholders on the ground - as to the country and regional contexts. Thematics. This aspect of CSDP MAP provides links to research on various thematics involved in CSDP, amongst them: fragile states; early warning; conflict analysis & prevention; fact finding & assessment; structures & policies; financing; peacebuilding; sec-dev nexus; mediation; monitoring; R2P; human rights; gender; SSR; DDRRR; piracy; capacities & capabilities; civmil; lessons identified; oversight; private sector..... In particular, links with and coordination between the global actors involved in security, crisis management and peacebuilding – both internationally (i.e. synergies with UN and AU work); internally (NGOs and civil society) and transnationally (alliances with the EU and US through international bodies, as well as coalitions and through NATO). In the next phase of CSDP MAP, we will be developing: How military and civilian crisis management missions are affecting and perceived by those they are sent to assist. And whether these missions are actually effective for civilians, with input from the field.
