This document intends to provide Member States with practical tools for the development of risk profiles, and more particularly to present a common risk profile template and examples of how it could be developed depending on a number of threats described here. It also provides a checklist about questions Border Management Authorities (BMAs) should tackle when they are developing risk profiles. Finally, this booklet aims at exposing the different data elements contained in the EU databases and that can be used to detect risk indicators.

This plan describes the coordinated set of operating procedures for medical interventions to be implemented for migrants landing on Sicilian shores, taking into account both healthcare at disembarkation and healthcare administered in first reception centres. This plan applies both to planned landings in the context of search and rescue operations at sea (SAR) and other planned operations, and to unplanned landings. This plan also applies to landings on the Island of Lampedusa and other minor islands of Sicily and does not contradict the ‘Recommendations for the management of healthcare problems related to the influx of migrants on small islands’ issued by the Ministry of Health on 5 November 2012, – Office 3, Coordination of the Office for Maritime, Air and Border Healthcare, but instead defines all roles and skills in operational job role information.

The study presents the findings and recommendations of the 2017–2018 European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex) Common Core Curriculum interoperability assessment programme (CCC-IAP) as part of the Eastern Partnership integrated border management (EaP-IBM) capacity building project led by Frontex, in cooperation with the World Customs Organisation, the International Organisation for Migration and the International Centre for Migration Policy Development. The purpose of the IAP is to measure the level at which, following the acquisition of the knowledge and skills defined in the CCC, the new border guards in the EaP countries participating in the project can demonstrate interoperability, proved by the results of an evaluation administered online.

The document sets out good or best practices in the practical conduct of boarding during Frontex-coordinated Maritime Joint Operation. Within this framework, a working group was set up to collect experience from the practitioners in the field, by evaluating the response to incidents, the preparedness and the lessons identified and learned, assessing the difference in approach between authorities and the interpretation of the legal framework supporting the activities.

The objective of the CIRAM is to establish a conceptual framework to assist Frontex and Member States in the preparation of risk analyses and to promote a common understanding of risk analysis. The CIRAM establish a clear and transparent methodology for risk analysis, which should serve as a benchmark for analytical activities, thus promoting harmonisation and the preconditions for efficient information exchange and cooperation in the field of border security.
