- Why does the European Commission underline the
needs for standardisation? - In which areas has the EC already efforts in
standardisation? - Way ahead
3Where does the JRC fit in the European Commission?
4The Mission of the Joint Research Centre is to
provide customer-driven scientific and technical
support for the conception, development,
implementation and monitoring of EU policies. As
a service of the European Commission, the JRC
functions as a reference centre of science and
technology for the Union. Close to the
policy-making process, it servesthe common
interest of the Member States,while being
independent of special interests,whether private
or national.

8- EUROPE 2020A strategy for smart, sustainable
and inclusive growth (COM/2010/2020) states - Initiative by President José Manuel BARROSO
9Steering the process
- Commission is proposing five measurable EU
targets for 2020 in order to steer the process - for employment
- for research innovation
- for climate change and energy
- for education
- for combating poverty
10Seven flagship initiatives to catalyze process
- Flagship initiative Innovation Union
- Based on improved framework conditions for
innovation like setting up interoperable
standards - Flagship initiative Resource efficient Europe
- To use regulation building performance standards
- Flagship initiative An industrial policy for
globalization era - To develop a horizontal approach to industrial
policy combining policy instruments (e. g.
smart regulations, modernized public
procurement, competition rules and standard
setting)
11In preparation
- In early 2011, the Commission will present a
Communication accompanied by a legislative
proposal on standardisation, which will inter
alia cover the ICT sector, in order - to speed up and modernise standard-setting to
enable interoperability and foster innovation in
fast-moving global markets. - This will be combined with a multi-annual
programme to anticipate new standardisation needs
and integration of standards into RD projects in
the research Framework Programme.
12The challenge
- A Report on the future of European
standardization (2010/2051(INI)) by the Committee
on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection
underlines - the need to improve mutual awareness and
cooperation between standardisers, innovators,
academia and the research communities and - the inclusion of new knowledge in standards, in
particular from publicly funded research and
innovation programmes - in order to promote innovation and
competitiveness.
13Integrated Approach
Ref. STAIR
14New Approach Scenario Based
15Improving Awareness Visibility of Security
16Aviation Security - Overview
- EC develops legally binding standards for
aviation security screening equipment (e.g.
detection performance, operational use, training
of staff) - Cooperation with
- Technical experts from MS (Regulatory Committee)
(incl. Technical Task Force of ECAC (European
Civil Aviation Conference (UN-body on civil
aviation in Europe)) - Aviation Industry (Advisory Board)
- More frequently meetings of joint special WGs of
MS and industry, reporting to Regulatory
Committee - International Cooperation, e.g. USA (Joint
Committee under the EU-US Air Transport Agreement
), QUAD-group, joint seminars, framework of ICAO - Procedure
- Agreement on Regulatory Committee level,
- adoption by European Commission, laid down in
European Commission regulation (EU) No 185/2010
common basic standards on aviation security - Non-sensitive published in Official Journal
- Sensitive or classified Commission Decision 774
not published
17Aviation Security - Look ahead
- EC is considering to develop generic guidelines
for canine detection based on the experience in
the aviation security - EC appreciate future subjects related to
standardisation such as - the aligning of EC policies on the use of
security scanners (body scanners) - liquids screening equipment
- In the future and in the context of the EU CBRN
Action Plan it is planned to carry out similar
activities as in Internal Security, in particular
on sampling, detection, etc.
2 ECAC European Civil Aviation Conference
18Internal Security / Detection Running
- The Action Plan on Enhancing the security of
Explosives of 2008 recommends to develop minimum
detection standards based on relevant detection
scenarios and threat assessment - relevant scenarios are currently being developed
by an expert working group (representative of MS,
supported by a network of experts for the
detection of explosives) - CEN standardisation work (funded by EC) has been
provided over the last few years in a couple of
areas, such as - critical infrastructure protection,
- Biosafety / biosecurity,
- security of drinking water
- ERN-CIP project (lead by the JRC)
- EC supports as well the ITRAP10 project (lead by
the JRC) testing and certification of nuclear
detection equipment (cooperation element with the
US) - CIPS Prevention, preparedness and consequence
management of terrorism and other
security-related risks, Endorsed by the Council
in Dec 2009
19Internal Security / Migration, Asylum, Borders
Running
- for the time being restricted work on technical
or operational standards, particular work on
legal / political harmonisation - Asylum
- framework of practical co-operation plus Eurodac
and Dublin Convention, and in the Global approach
to migration (Mobility Partnerships), - Visa Information System (VIS),
- Schengen Information System (SIS),
- irregular immigration
- ICONet (Decision 2005/267/EC),
- the Immigration Liaison Officers (Reg.
377/2004/EC) and - the Rapid Border Intervention Teams (Reg.
863/2007) - Integration
- framework of the Common Basic Principles (JHA
Council conclusions of 19.11.2004) - Borders
- FRONTEX and the Schengen Border Code
- more relevant work carried out but for the time
being not too interesting for industry - more industry relevant discussion of technical
interoperability standards in the area of
EUROSUR, (very early stage) - The same applies to the entry/exit and registered
traveller programmes - expect more work on technical interoperability
standards in the near future
20Global Supply Chain A practical Example
- EC advocates a comprehensive and effective multi
layered risk management approach using a range of
methods and technologies commensurate to the
risks associated with specific high risk
consignments - The testing of some Container Security Devices
(Smart seals) under the EU - CHINA pilot on Smart
and Secure Trade Lanes (SSTL) (involvement of
UK, NL and CN Customs) has highlighted the need
for common (customs) requirements, procedures and
standards - faced with interoperability problems when seals
and reader infrastructure didn't belong to the
same "family" using different communication
protocols based on different international
standards - ? CONCLUSION / Way forward
- modern customs administrations and the economic
operators are urged to make use of new emerging
technologies to enhance the security in the
global supply chain - harmonization and standardization of security
standards and equipment will be indispensable
21Maritime and Land Transport Security Running /
Way forward
- Specific EU security requirements are less
developed to date in the maritime security sector -
- EU security requirements for land transport
security do not exist yet - it is conceivable that both sectors could follow
the same approach as aviation security in setting
legally binding standards
22Conformity Assessment Running / Way forward
- Mutual recognition of security standards and
trade partnership programmes, like AEO1 and
C-TPAT2, with the EU main trading partners (a
key element of the EU efforts to strengthen the
end-to-end security of international supply
chains) - Aim to enhance supply chain security and to
facilitate trade through focusing on real risks
and granting substantial, equal and reciprocal
benefits to reliable international partners and
economic operators - Example June 2010 DG Deffaa and Commissioner
Bersin signed a document entitled "Final Steps
Towards the Implementation of Mutual Recognition
Between the United States and the European Union"
- Current Status Under approval process (intended
signing of the Mutual Recognition Decision is
expected in early 2011) - AEO and C-TPAT benefits will only be activated
after successful completion of the joint
validations and IT solutions foreseen in the work
program, expected for no later than the 31
October 2011

23Data Protection ISO 29100 The upcoming Data
Protection Standard
- The data protection community in Europe is
following closely the elaboration of the ISO
29100 standard on data protection - Expectation an ambitious standard that protects
effectively the data subject rights - Promoting concrete rights for the individuals,
and a high level of privacy - Safe international exchanges of data
- Compatible with the existing legislation in
Europe (Directive 95/46/CE) - Those standards are seen as extremely important
in order - to have secure international data flows,
- Accompany the current globalisation,
- protecting the individual rights such as data
access, data correction and deletion - common ground (vocabulary, concept, guidelines
rules, evaluation methods ) to discuss the
privacy and data protection issues - EC supports the
- standardisation of 'privacy and security seals
and labels - established seals in the US and emerging seals in
Europe - standardisation in this area will be very welcome
