Common Information Sharing Environment
Priorities for enhanced
information exchange across
sectors and borders:
State of play and next steps
TAG and MSEsG
18 & 19th November 2015
1. Background
• Commission communication on CISE next steps (8th July 2014)
"CISE is a voluntary collaborative process in the EU seeking to further enhance and promote
relevant information sharing between authorities involved in maritime surveillance"
" The objective is to ensure that information collected by one maritime authority and considered
necessary for the operational activities of others can be shared and be subject to multiuse"
" Identifying information that could be exchanged between civilian and military authorities will be
important"
•
Focus of CISE: identify and fulfil information needs which require
cross-sectoral and cross-border cooperation.
2. Work done so far on the identification of data gaps
• 2012: assessment of data gaps by the Technical Advisory Group
using a comprehensive matrix covering more than 500 data
elements.
• 2012: final reports of projects BlueMassMed and Marsuno
expressing recommendations for improved data-exchange
• 2014: CoopP: set of use cases/operational scenarios requiring
information exchange across sectors and borders
3. Next step: information needs prioritization
• Main objective: identify concrete information needs with a high
operational added-value and practical feasibility, using the 2012
gaps assessment as a starting point.
• Tasks:
Update the needs identified so far.
Rank the needs on the basis of their operational added-value.
Assess the feasibility of enhanced data-exchange: the desired
data must exist in a computerized format.
3. Next step: information needs prioritization
Process
• Project team: DG MARE, JRC, DIGIT + consultant for
methodological support.
• Need to involve operational experts from national authorities from
different sea-basins.
• Follow-up by TAG and MSEsG.

4. Possible approach to frame the identification of
information-sharing priorities
• Focus the assessment of priorities on a set of well-defined areas
deriving from the CISE data and service model, e.g:
Incidents
Accidents
Events
in a given area
Surveillance and
intervention assets
Persons
Vessels
Vessels
positions
(dynamic)
Vessels details
(static)
Vessels
records
Vessels of
interest
Cargo
Cargo of
