to develop and test tools and methods for providing the European Situational Picture
(ESP) as well as the Common Pre-frontier Intelligence Picture (CPIP).
To develop and implement common core curricula focusing on harmonizing learning standards
for mid-level and high-level border guard education;
To develop common modular study programmes as a basis for the exchange of border guard
students in both academic and vocational educational frameworks;
To promote the development and implementation of the European Training Scheme in
cooperation with CEPOL;
To share relevant operational information with other border guard/state services and with
relevant European Agencies, both at the national and international level, to increase the
effectiveness and efficiency of border checks at the external border to a comparable level
(Eurosur);
To provide support to MSs in building the EBGT pool(s) and in training the members of the
EBGT pool;
To further develop the EBGT pool (including reviewing, updating and complementing the
information contained) as the sole source for the deployment of border guards to Frontex
coordinated activities;
To analyze the operational needs, as well as the content and availability of the equipment
forming part of the TEP;
To acquire a limited number of technical means for Frontex
The planning for 2013, as expressed in chapter 2.3. was developed around the
implementation measures needed to mitigate the aforementioned risks.
Budgetary restrictions regarding financial and human resources could lead to a
reprioritization for which the parameter as explained in chapter 2.1.2. will be applied.
Consequently, chapter 2.3. already contains a proposed prioritization (shading) of different
groups of initiatives and activities.
With regard to the related operational activities the number of technical equipment and
human resources to be deployed during those activities is to be included in the portfolio of
the Operations Division. During 2012, in preparing the Programme of Work 2013, and until the
Management Board has decided upon the concept and methodology to establish the minimum
numbers of technical equipment, the Annual Bilateral Talks will be used to establish the
hosting MSs contributions and to identify the gaps (required contributions from participating
MS and SACs) for an effective operation (arg: minimum number of technical equipment).
