Further strengthening of border control and management of future EU external borders /blue borders/ (2002)

This project aims to further strengthen border management in Bulgaria by introducing operational standards and practices for the main border management authority - the Bulgarian Border Police. It applies EU best practices in border control as well as through modernising equipment in accordance with EU standards for external border control. This project is a continuation of the Phare Multi-annual Programme, which supports the National operational strategy of the Bulgarian Border Police. It focuses on the regions of the Bulgarian Black Sea coasts and the Danube River through the establishment of a regional Command, Control and Communication Centres (CCC Centres) for both, supported by the supply of patrol vessels designed for continuous all-weather patrolling. These vessels will inter alia facilitate a much more systematic observation of the territorial sea and inner coastal waters and will contribute greatly to the fight against all forms of crime committed across the state border of the Republic of Bulgaria. Phare assistance is conditional on the Border Police having sufficient human resources to implement the project effectively.
