The project “Seaport Cooperation (SEACOP V)) financed by the European Union (DEVCO) under the Instrument contributing to Peace and Stability, will be implemented by a Consortium led by Expertise France (EF). The project aims to contribute to the fight against maritime illicit trade and associated criminal networks in the targeted countries and regions in Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa, consistent with human rights.
Fighting against maritime illicit trade and criminal environment surrounding it is critical for social and economic development, including preservation of public health, in all countries affected, whether they are countries of origin, transit or destination of the illicit goods. The EU, in particular with its agencies for control of external borders, is strongly involved in this domain to prevent and reduce potential threats. The cooperation project, funded under the ICSP, SEACOP V, is part of this effort.
The overall objective of SEACOP V is to support the fight against maritime illicit trafficking and associated criminal networks in the targeted countries and regions in order to alleviate the negative impact of illicit trafficking in terms of public health, social development and economic stability.
Two results will be sought:
- To support the creation and empowerment of national joint maritime control units (JMCUs) and maritime intelligence units (MIUs) in order to develop the inter-administration approach to the fight against illegal trafficking and ultimately prevent and disrupt illegal traffic.
- To build an intra-regional and trans-Atlantic intelligence and cooperation network to favour exchange of information, good practices and situation analysis (especially concerning cocaine trafficking) as well as to ensure a fertile ground for joint operations.
