Chair: Hungarian National Police Border
Police Department
What are the latest and developing trends
in cross border criminal activities, that
substantially damage and harm a country’s/
region’s security. How can intelligence and
information be shared to enhance upstream
collaboration in the fight against organised
criminal activities?
Louis-Lyonel Voiron, President, World Anti-
Illicit Traffic Organization, USA
Dennis Cosgrove, Head of Border Security
Management Unit, OSCE
Giovanni Kessler, Director General, European
Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF)*
Breakout Session - Setting
International Standards in IBM
Chair: Tony Smith, International Liaison
Director, BORDERPOL and Former Director
General, Border Force UK
Good ethics, best practice and standardisation
of practices and procedures ensures any
agency delivers greater and more efficient
results in enhanced integrated border
management. If there was closer consistency
between agency operations in the standards,
policies and procedures, this would facilitate
inter-agency cooperation and sharing of
relevant information to enhance upstream
detection.
With many agencies implementing IBM, how
do we set common practices and standards
to assist in cross-agency cooperation for
enhancing collaboration and information
sharing? Who should set the standard and
what are minimum standards for effective
border management?
