Timeframe: 2011 - 2014

 Objectives:

 
It aims at fostering cooperation on police issues between the ENPI South partner countries and EU countries and ENPI South partner countries themselves, contributing to the reinforcement of the political and security dialogue and to the enhancement of security/police services and operational police coordination throughout the region.
 
It focuses on enhanced cooperation in the fight against terrorism, human trafficking, money laundering, drug trafficking, financial crimes,  weapons trafficking and the CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) threat and cyber crime and new forms of criminal offences, through the development of closer links between policy and judiciary in both the EU and the Mediterranean partner countries, in a context of deeper dialogue and enhanced contacts, and through training and technical assistance for police officers.
 
It builds on the achievements of the project’s previous phases Euromed Police I and Euromed Police II.
 
What does it do?
 
It supports operational police coordination through meetings of Directors General of Police, Custom and Security Services.  It holds specialist information sessions dealing with practical police cooperation, carries out training on policy cooperation for senior officers from specialised services and special intervention units in the partner countries and organises conferences for Directors of police academies, colleges and training centres. It is also creating an updated, secure intranet website for senior police officers from the Mediterranean Partner Countries in order to allow better exchange of information and good practices between them and their counterparts from EU countries.

EU Cooperation with Syria is currently suspended due to the political situation in the country; however, since in principle Syria is eligible for cooperation under the ENPI, activities may be taken up again once the situation improves.
