CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE PROTECTION IN THE BALTIC SEA REGION But first it has to be clarified who is responsible for safeguarding the pipeline (national coast guards, private security services, national intelligence agencies). Many mainly operational questions follow: • By which means and what information will be gathered? • How this information will be stored and analysed? • Will it be partly shared between involved security operators (intelligence agencies)? Secondly, it has to be clarified who is responsible for emergency responses (national cost guards, private services, Nord Stream), as well as who, and in what cases, will lead the emergency response action? Of course, reaction plans and trainings are essential. In order to find the way forward, and keeping in mind that the CIP of the NEGP has a political dimension, it seems advisable that the CIP strategy be developed and implemented by a broader panel comprising security experts and political decision makers. For this purpose existing bodies, such as the Council of the Baltic Sea States (CBSS), should be considered to see whether they could moderate the process. It would also be possible to establish a separate – intergovernmental/ interadministrative – working structure. Another special issue is the dumped munitions, which extend beyond the NEGP. Being part of the CIP strategy for the pipeline track it should be discussed comprehensively in a broader forum, already established in HELCOM. It is essential that all available information concerning the investigation of dumped munitions is made available to HELCOM and that, based on an actual evaluation of the potential risks, the need for further action is decided at a political level. Economic dimension Since the most significant effect of a pipeline disruption could be turbulences in gas markets, CIP has to find solutions for securing gas supply by either re-routing the supply via other pipelines or assuring enough storage volume to overcome a period lasting from several days to several weeks. The costs for securing and repairing the NEGP are presumably small in comparison to the revenue loss, should the pipeline be disrupted. Therefore the protection of the NEGP should be a clear task and in the interest of Nord Stream and the consumers that benefit from it. Social dimension The CIP has to be directed mainly to those groups and people that would be most directly affected by accidents along the pipeline, such as fishermen, ships’ crews as well as pipeline workers. The NEGP could also support information campaigns to people living along the Baltic Sea coast about what to do in case of accidents involving dumped munitions. Technological dimension The CIP should take into account two aspects: the technological opportunities in safeguarding using new technologies (cameras, satellites, sonar) as well as the 184 NORDREGIO REPORT 2007:5
